Combined Heat and Power from Waste
How waste-to-energy plants recover both heat and power, using waste heat boilers to produce steam for heating, drying and disinfection.
Recovering energy from combustion
Incineration generates high-temperature flue gas whose heat is recovered by waste heat boilers to produce steam, converting a disposal process into an energy source.
Practical steam applications
The recovered steam is used for heating, disinfection in hospitals and hotels, and drying of wood or agricultural products, integrating waste treatment with local energy use.
Zero discharge in parallel
High-temperature flue gas is also reused to treat leachate and wastewater, achieving zero discharge and reducing extra costs while boosting overall efficiency and economic returns.
