Objective
Extended energy
recovery by condensation of the hot flue gases at waste incineration offers a very
interesting economical incentive if the generated heat
can be sold. Moreover the flue gas treatment function is
improved. The environmental gains are also significant in respect of reduced greenhouse gases. Reliable technologies are today available for waste incineration enabling efficient recovery of waste heat . In Scandinavia and particularly in Sweden
most waste incineration plants are equipped with flue gas condensers,
often in combination with heat pumps that will enhance the energy recovery even more! As a supplier of advanced thermal waste treatment systems, Götaverken Miljö has delivered such equipment to a significant number of waste incineration lines in Sweden and Denmark, countries of which are in the forefront when it comes to this kind of environmental installations. You can read about our scope of delivery under 'Products' below.
District or
local cooling of office buildings, hospitals and shopping
centers may, by means of absorption chillers using district
heating, hot water or steam, further improve the economy
in an incinerator investment.
Maximized energy
recovery is a general trend, partly by the reasons explained
above, but also due to discussions and requirements in
the EC legislation including the BAT Reference Document
(BREF) on waste incineration.

Products
Flue gas condensers
are offered separately, normally in the form of a tower
packing type of scrubber condenser or they can be supplied
as a dedicated stage in multifunctional scrubber systems
with our patented integrated circulation tanks. Typically,
the recovered amount of energy is in the range from 1
MWh/h up to 15 MWh/h of heat per condenser unit.
Absorption heat
pumps range in recovered energy capacity normally between
some 1 MWh/h up to 10 MWh/h.
The chillers
can be supplied in sizes ranging from a few hundred kW
capacity up to 3-5 MW cooling per unit depending on the
specific circumstances.
Dimensioning
Condensers are
purpose-designed for the actual operational situations.
