Efficient Sludge Incineration for Maximum Performance

Baseline Situation
  • A leading European waste management company faced the challenge of significantly increasing its sewage sludge incineration capacity.

  • Key constraints included limited space, strict safety requirements – particularly regarding explosion protection – and the need to ensure continuous operation.

  • The objective was to develop a compact, high-performance system that combines maximum efficiency, operational safety and optimal use of space.

Solution

METZEN developed a plant for a leading European municipal waste management company specialising in hazardous waste incineration to expand its sewage sludge incineration capacity.
The solution impresses with minimal space requirements and a high level of safety.
Through precise planning and close coordination with the customer, the cooling and conveying of sewage sludge were optimised.
The silo tower with redundant conveying routes ensures uninterrupted operation and meets the highest explosion protection standards.

Result

The plant significantly increases the efficiency of sewage sludge incineration and reduces operating costs. Its space saving design and innovative conveying technology ensure maximum safety and ease of maintenance.
Close collaboration with the customer resulted in a perfectly tailored implementation that creates long term synergies.
