Zero Waste Era for UAE Food Processing Plant Dubai, UAE

MARS Inc has a 2015 zero waste plan and 2 tonne of waste which cannot be recycled. Being such a recognized company globally they needed an alternative waste management method with a company who they could trust to sustain its reputation of excellence. That’s where Addfield comes in.

Client overview MARS Inc is an international corporation founded in Washington, USA that has net sales of over $33 billion. The company culture focuses on a “mutuality of benefits2 for all stakeholders; this involves making a difference for both people and the planet.

An incinerator is needed The year 2015 brings in a zero waste era for a food processing plant in the United Arab Emirates. Much of the plants waste is recycled as a first priority. However the site generates approximately two tons of waste per week that cannot be recycled and needs to be disposed of onsite as a matter of the companies operating licence.

The importance of incineration When waste cannot be recycled or reused, the next best alternative is incineration.

1. Landfills are quickly reaching full capacity since the land has limited space.

2. Buying an incinerator from a reputable company, such as Addfield, allows the possibility of waste to energy technologies being implemented.

3. Pollution control is also a contemporary system which prevents incinerators from being the ‘smoking, smelling pollutants’ they have previously been known as.

Robust. Reliable. Efficient. Simply built better.

Which incinerator? After an extensive research and development phase, that focused on the specific types of waste generated on site, including (but not exclusive too) food waste, packaging and laboratory waste. A bespoke machine was proposed and developed to deal with the waste generated. The proposed bespoke machine had an: Increased after chamber size, designed to deal with an increased emission flow rate and 1100C after chamber temperature. PLC after chamber upgrade allowing for more control over a mixed waste stream Magnetic door interlocks to prevent unauthorised access.

Fitting into the plan A prototype machine was manufactured and a program of emissions monitoring testing was performed at Addfield manufacturing facility by a MCERT's accredited, independent emission monitoring company. The results gained were used to measure its performance against stringent legislation. The machine was delivered late in 2014 and has a load capacity of 1000kg. It was supplied with a high temperature ash ejection vacuum system for ease of de-ashing. The machine has been used as a pilot scheme, which has now been rolled out to other sites in Saudi Arabia due to its success.
