Challenges

Combustion Stability and Reliability

Stabilize waste combustion regardless of LHV (Lower Heating Value) variations to ensure maximum availability and reliability of incineration furnaces.

Waste Energy Recovery

Optimize waste energy recovery by maximizing steam production and its conversion into electricity for the power grid.

Maximizing Energy Performance

Optimize combustion performance and steam export to improve overall facility energy efficiency, safeguard continuous essential services, and maximize value creation per ton of waste processed.

Project Overview

Deliver a turnkey energy performance project, self-financed by Enero, deploying Advanced Process Control (APC) logic for incineration furnace combustion and steam grid coordination in combined heat and power (CHP) generation.

With the following objectives:

  • Stabilize waste combustion
  • Increase combustion efficiency to maximize steam output
  • Boost power generation
  • Reduce steam loss to atmospheric vents
  • Minimize production losses
  • Reduce manual operator interventions

APC Solutions

Combustion, Steam Network, Drum Level, and Superheated Steam Temperature Solutions

The APC solutions delivered continuous, stable, and optimized steam production while fully leveraging plant capacity: increased waste combustion efficiency, reduced manual interventions, and improved incineration furnace availability.

The performance gains verified on-site following APC commissioning resulted in a full return on investment (ROI) in under 24 months.
