Minato waste-to-energy refurbishment project, Japan
Name of the Project
Minato waste-to-energy (WtE) refurbishment project.
Location
Tokyo, Japan.
Project Owner/s
Clean Authority of Tokyo.
Project Description
The WtE facility comprises three stoker-type incinerators and related equipment, each with a capacity of 300 t/d, and can generate up to 22 MW of electricity.
The project involves the refurbishment and improvement of the incinerators and related equipment, including the refuse feeder and incinerator furnace, the equipment for ash treatment, a bag filter, a scrubber, boilers, power generators and steam condensers, as well as electric instrumentation and water supply systems.
Using nickel-base alloy cladding technology to offset boiler tube thinning, upgrading the main equipment for steam turbines and power generators, and improving combustion with control technologies using infrared sensors will allow for long-term stable incineration and operation.
The facility will also use high-efficiency motors and inverters for electric components to increase energy efficiency. These measures will reduce carbon dioxide emissions by about 4% a year, helping to curb global warming.
