IMM Waste Incineration and Energy Generation Plant

The plant will consist of three same incineration lines and has been designed to serve 8,000 hours per year uninterruptedly. The steam obtained from the heat of the wastes incinerated by the Grid system will be fed to the Steam Turbine; this turbine will generate approximately 78 MWh of electrical energy. This energy will supply all internal needs of the plant, and the residual electrical energy will be supplied to the national network.

Flue Gases that will be treated by the state-of-the-art Flue Gas Treatment System to be used in the plant will be constantly monitored and recorded by the ‘‘Continuous Emission Measurement’’ system in accordance with the European Standards. In this way, 3,000 tons of waste per day will be disposed to prevent environmental pollution.
