Waste – a valuable fuel

Feeding electricity to the local grid can be a valuable byproduct and an  additional source of revenue for WtE facilities. With modern technology solutions WtE plant operators can also generate heat power both at high and low temperatures and then distribute it for district heating purposes or utilized for specific thermodynamic processes, e.g. desalination.

Siemens calls for an economic cycle that does not waste any of its raw material or fuel by recycling garbage in a closed cycle economy.

Process Control and Plant Automation are vital elements of any Energy from Waste plant, whether this be the control of the energy conversion process itself or the automation of a material recovery facility. Siemens provides a standardized approach to both the continuous and discrete worlds of plant control and automation based on a standard hardware platform and open network systems such as Profibus designed to add value to the operation of the plant.

Measuring, positioning, recording and controlling are key requirements for all industrial processes. Process instrumentation from Siemens satisfies these demands and provides an efficient means to increase plant efficiency and improve process quality.

Siemens expertise in process analytics can help you to meet all the legislative requirements for a Large Combustion Plant (LCPD), Waste to Energy unit (WID) or other pollution control needs (IPPC). We can also help you to make your installation as efficient as possible.

Siemens designs, installs, and maintains security and fire protection solutions that deliver improved operational performance, greater economies of scale, and safeguard your people, processes, information and assets. We focus on your requirements, risks and business procedures and deliver fully integrated systems that will add real value, as well as protecting your organisation.

Siemens will work with you to help use energy more economically across your buildings, not only making the workplace more comfortable and able to react automatically to weather conditions but also to reduce energy consumption. We have developed a complete toolkit of products, services and solutions to assist all areas of industry and commerce to optimise energy and utility consumption.

Reliable energy supply is the key to success for every business. Siemens provides customized solutions to the individual requirements of your substation and monitors all relevant components of your electricity supply network – from transformers and switchgear to overhead lines and cables.

Siemens provides a range of water technologies for the Energy from Waste market, including anaerobic digestion, water disinfection, odour abatement, membrane technology-based solutions for boiler feed water make-up, biological wastewater treatment, water re-use and rainwater harvesting.
