What Is Modular Waste-to-Energy?
An introduction to modular waste-to-energy: how 50-300 tons/day plants convert municipal waste into energy with lower cost and a smaller footprint.

What small-scale waste-to-energy means
Small-scale waste-to-energy converts municipal solid waste into energy in plants processing roughly 50-300 tons per day. Unlike large urban incinerators, these systems are sized for counties and sparsely populated regions where large plants are not viable.
Why it matters
Traditional small-scale incineration faces low efficiency, high pollution and costly operation. Qingfeng identified this gap and positioned county-level waste treatment as its core business, serving regions in China and worldwide.
How it works
Over 22 years of R&D, Qingfeng built a complete technical system covering waste collection, transport, incineration and resource recovery. A three-stage mechanical grate furnace solves incomplete combustion, and a high-temperature flue gas system controls emissions.
