Waste incinerators, also called W2E plants, fulfil several tasks today: they remove the waste and thermally recycle its energy content, converting it into electricity and heat. Typically, the furnaces are grate fired, and use separate controlled combustion zones. The sub-critical water-steam cycle propels a steam turbine generator for electricity production. The remaining heat is used in cogeneration schemes for space heating via a district heating network, or as process heat for industrial processes. Waste incinerators operate comprehensive flue gas cleaning process steps.

KROHNE can address the supply of all major process control instrumentation across the entire waste incineration process and BOP. Industry specific solutions and products meet the particular requirements of the waste incineration process - like standards, materials, testing and documentation.
