ANDRITZ to supply new flue gas cleaning system in Germany
International technology group ANDRITZ has received the order for the complete renewal of the flue gas cleaning system at the Hamm waste incineration plant in Germany.
This modernization ensures the further reduction of emissions in line with new legal requirements, thus securing the future of the site.
The Hamm waste incineration plant processes around 280,000 tons of waste from private households and businesses annually, generating electricity and heat for the district heating system. In close cooperation with the customer and its general planner, ANDRITZ has developed a customized concept for the step-by-step replacement of the four existing flue gas cleaning lines, which allows for nearly uninterrupted operation of the incineration plant during the rebuild.
ANDRITZ will supply four new state-of-the-art flue gas cleaning lines. The lines will use the proven TurboSorp process based on a circulating fluidized bed and a catalytic denitrification process. The 3-stage system will clean the flue gases from the incineration process to such an extent that the emissions remain well below the legally prescribed limits of the amended 17th Federal Emission Protection Ordinance (17th BImSchV), making the plant operation more sustainable and future-proof.
