Name and Location
Municipal solid-waste incineration facility operational-life extension project, Japan.

Client
Otokuni Clean Plaza.

Project Description
The project involves modification work to improve core equipment at a municipal solid-waste incineration plant, in Japan’s Kyoto prefecture.

The project calls for the revamping of a stoker furnace-type incinerator, with a processing capacity of 225 t/d to extend the plant’s operational life and boosting its energy-saving capability.

Value
Not stated.

Duration
The modification work is slated for completion in March 2018.

Latest Developments
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Environmental & Chemical Engineering (MHIEC), a subsidiary of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, has received an order from the Otokuni Clean Plaza for modification work to improve core equipment at the municipal solid waste incineration plant.

The order is for Phase 2 work at the plant; an order for Phase 1 was received in 2010.

In Phase 2, the operational lives of furnace units 1 through 3 will be extended and energy savings will be promoted throughout the entire plant. Increased power generation capacity and other new features will reduce carbon dioxide emissions by more than 3.2%, or about 125 t/y, thus contributing to curbing global warming.

The adoption in furnace No 3 of MHIEC’s patented hybrid bag filter will eliminate the need for activated carbon, which until now has been used to reduce the level of dioxins in the flue gas, and thereby enable reductions in the plant’s operating costs.
