Waste is a challenging fuel due to its heterogenous nature, low calorific value, high moisture content and potentially harmful emissions. Do you know what type of waste you have?

The WOIMA Ecosystem combines different waste-to-value and energy-from-waste (EfW) technologies to extract maximum customer value out of different waste streams, while reducing the unusable waste quantity to a bare minimum. Key pieces in the ecosystem are the waste pre-sorting, waste recycling or waste-to-fuel solutions, as well as waste-to-energy solutions, such as biogas production, waste incineration or gasification and pyrolysis.

Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) is available in abundance everywhere in the world. It offers several business opportunities in reuse, recycling and incineration for energy. Yet, it remains an under-utilized resource, especially in the emerging countries, which would benefit the most of a local energy source. Similarly, the solution reduces the quantity of waste placed in landfills and improves people’s health and general living conditions.

The power plant operations begin with the waste reception. If the waste is source-separated, then each waste fraction can be stored in their own silos. General waste is dumped in a common waste reception bunker, or in some case on to a waste field. The right solution depends on local conditions. In dry areas, a large waste fields allows waste time to dry up, whereas in rainy regions there must be an enclosed, or at least roofed, waste reception and storage facility. Humidity has a major impact on the calorific value and combustibility of the waste.
