Case Study: AffaldPlus boosts waste-to-energy efficiency with Babcock & Wilcox combustion technology

AffaldPlus boosts waste-to-energy output to 13 MW of electricity and 50 MW of district heating with Babcock & Wilcox

AffaldPlus, a waste treatment plant serving 200,000 citizens in Denmark, needed to expand its capacity to treat waste and generate electricity and district heating. They partnered with vendor Babcock & Wilcox (B&W) to construct a new combustion line, utilizing B&W's DynaGrate combustion system and VoluMix technology.

Babcock & Wilcox implemented its innovative DynaGrate system, an air-cooled grate designed for high-efficiency combustion of unsorted waste, and the VoluMix system for superior flue gas mixing. The solution was handed over three weeks ahead of schedule. The results included extremely low CO levels, high combustion efficiency with minimal organic content in the ash (as low as 0.25% TOC), and the reliable production of 13 MW of electricity and 50 MW of district heating from 115,000 tons of waste annually.
