Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Environmental & Chemical Engineering Co., Ltd. (MHIEC; Yokohama, Japan; www.mhi.com) has received an order to build a municipal solid-waste incineration plant in Shanghai, China. Once completed, the waste-to-energy plant will have the largest waste-treatment capacity in the world of 6,000 ton/d. MHIEC will provide the necessary equipment for waste-heat recovery and fluegas treatment, and is working in a consortium with Hangzhou New Century Energy Environmental Protection Engineering Co., Ltd. (HNC), a Chinese engineering firm. Delivery is slated for completion in July 2018.
The order was received from Shanghai Laogang Solid Waste Utilization Co., Ltd. The plant will consist of eight stoker furnace incinerators, each with a 750-ton/d capacity. It will be situated in an area adjacent to Pudong International Airport in the eastern part of Shanghai. MHIEC will be responsible for the design of various aspects of the plant, from incinerators to fluegas treatment system. It will also supply stokers, hydraulic units, ash extractor and — for the first time for MHIEC in China — catalyst for NOx (oxides of nitrogen) removal system. HNC will provide the waste-heat boilers and fluegas treatment system.
