Case StudyFrom Waste to Energy

History of Rakkestad waste to energy Building the new system for recovery of energy from waste, the company stfold Energi uses household and industrial waste for steam production, which is delivered to 3 major companies in the region. The system is build as a 4 MW Steam plant, with a yearly combustion of approximately 10.000 Ton mixed household and industrial waste. The Rakkestad plant has a maximum effect of 4.2 MW and approximately 7500 operation hours a year. Since the commissioning in December 2005, the combustion plant has worked faultlessly and continuously delivered approximately 30 GMh a year. One of the major advantages of the Weiss system is, that the operation is fully automatic and only manned in the day time. During weekends the system is unstaffed which results in substantial savings relating to resources. The combustion system has an advanced cleaning system, which ensures that the demands in the EU Waste Incineration directive as well as the national demands easily are kept. Whereas, Waste or Biomass based fuel are used for generation of Thermal heating / Power generation the cost savings on fossil fuel are tremendous, and one of the great benefits are to be independent of the volatility of the energy prices.

Green energy environment

WEISS Range of boiler capacity Thermal Energy Steam pleasure Electric generation : 2MW 4MW 8MW 15MW : from 10 to 40 Barg. : From 0.5 MWe to 3,6 MWe Proven technique. WEISS Biomass Boiler plants only use well proven Technologies and components. Its your guarantee for a durable system with unexpected shutdowns` and unforeseen expenses. WEISS biomass boiler plants has very low maintenance requirements, and are full automatic operated Which result in lower labor cost.

Burning waste products instead of stowing it, the energy is recovered and converted to energy. Thereby a double climate effect is obtained, since the production of energy from bi-product results in not only a substantial reduction of the consumption of fossil fuel, but also a reduction of the CO2 emissions. The flue gas is cleaned by the latest technique in filter systems. WEISS fulfill all national and local emissions requirements
