Automation System for New Plant

摘要

Hitachi Zosen Inova (HZI) has chosen Metso's automation technology for the new Greatmoor energy-from-waste facility under construction in Calvert, Edgcott, Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire/UK. HZI will act as the turnkey EPC contractor for the project. With Metso's automation solutions, the facility will be able to reach high process availability and extract maximum energy value from the thermal treatment of residual waste. The single-line facility with a thermal capacity of 102 MW reduces the volume of landfill waste and also meets the UK government's climate protection requirements in full. It will have a capacity to treat 300,000 t of waste per year, generating 22 MW of electricity for some 36,000 homes. Handover to the operators is planned for 2016.
