UPGRADING OF WASTE-TO-ENERGY PLANT IN BRESCIA, ITALY

Client: ASM Brescia Financed by: The client Start: 2004-04 End: Ongoing Contact: Managing Director A. Bonomo, Via Lamarmora 230, IT-25124 Brescia, Italy Tel.: +39 030-35531

Rambøll is assisting the waste-to-energy plant of ASM Brescia in installing a new waste crane and establishing crane automation. ASM Brescia S.P.A. is a large public utilities company established more than 100 years ago. The company is responsible for the production of power and district heating, gas supply, waste collection, treatment and disposal, and wastewa-ter treatment. Brescia was one of the first cities to have a well-established district heating net-work. Today, the waste-to-energy plant supplies heat to approx. 65 per cent of Brescia’s inhabi-tants. In addition, ASM Brescia runs an adjacent power plant, a composting plant for source-separated household and garden waste and a sanitary landfill.

The management of the waste-to-energy plant became very interested in crane automation during one of Rambøll’s visits to the plant when Rambøll reported on the success of automated cranes at the two largest waste-to-energy plants in Denmark, I/S Amagerforbrænding and I/S Vestforbrænding. Rambøll’s experience from these two plants was a decisive factor when ASM Brescia requested our assistance. Rambøll has also assisted ASM Brescia in exam-ining the options for the management of bio-mass incinerated in a recently commissioned unit 3 dedicated specifically for that purpose.

NEW WASTE-TO-ENERGY UNIT IN HALMSTAD, SWEDEN

Client: Halmstads Renhållnings AB Financed by: The Client Start: 1999-03 End: Ongoing Referee: Dir. Per-Olof Andersson, Halmstads Renhållnings AB, Box 8005, S-300 08 Halmstad, Sweden. Tel.: + 46 35 190 121

Rambøll is the Client’s Representative in connec-tion with machinery at the waste-to-energy plant in Halmstad, responsible for elaboration of decision-making basis for the extension by a new combined heat and power producing unit with a capacity of 15 t/h. In addition Rambøll is responsible for planning, conceptual design, elaboration of tender documents, tendering, tender evaluation and contracting of the entire machinery supply as well as co-ordination of the conceptual and detailed design of buildings and construction works. The new unit was commis-sioned at the beginning of 2003. In June 2000 the contract for the machinery supply was awarded to Babcock Borsig Power BBP (formerly Steinmüller) from Germany, while NCC in the autumn of 2000 was chosen as turn-key contractor for the entire building activities. The final layout was decided during the course of 2000, and all information necessary for the building activities was procured.

BBP has in co-operation with the Client selected all sub-suppliers, and the production has been going on all over Europe. The installation of ma-chinery started in mid-August 2001. In Septem-ber 2002 BBP went bankrupt and consequently could not complete the project. A contract was signed with FISIA Babcock Environment GmbH (FBE) for completion of the project. In April 2003 waste was incinerated in the new unit for the very first time, and in June 2003 power was supplied to the power network. Rambøll assisted the Client in connection with the bankruptcy of BBP. The plant is dimensioned in accordance with the latest EU environmental requirements. In some areas, including NOx, the guarantee require-ments at the new plant are stricter than future requirements. Rambøll is also assisting the Client in the up-grading of the two existing heat producing units to ensure compliance with future requirements.

UPGRADING OF WASTE-TO-ENERGY PLANT IN MALLORCA

Client: TIRME S.A. Financed by: The Client Start: 2004-09 End: 2004-12 Referee: Mr. Rafael Guinea, TIRME, S.A.Ctra. de Sóller, km 8,2, 07120 – Palma de Mallorca, Spain. Tel.: +34 971 43 50 50

The waste-to-energy plant at Son Reus (in Palma de Mallorca) reduces the volume of waste by 92% and allows for the production of electric-ity, which accounts for 4.7% of Mallorca’s and Minorca's consumption. The flue gas cleaning system and the continuous environmental con-trol ensure that contamination levels of emis-sions to the atmosphere are lower than the lim-its fixed by European and Spanish legislation. In 2004 TIRME decided to further upgrade the flue gas cleaning system by establishing SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) technology at the plant. Rambøll provided assistance in the evaluation of tenders for the implementation of such SCR technology.

Our services included a technical as well as an economic evaluation:

Technical evaluation − Robust solutions of high quality − Documented operation experience with

the suggested technical solutions − Design philosophy − Operation and maintenance needs − Energy consumption and recovery

Economic evaluation − The economic evaluation was based on

the received tender prices supplemented by an evaluation of the operating costs of the system during its technical life-time.

Furthermore, Rambøll prepared a detailed rec-ommendation, which included the following is-sues: The evaluation criteria applied Comparison of the individual tenders regard-

ing design, technical concept etc. Commercial conditions and economy (devia-

tions from demands in the tender docu-ments, comparison of time schedules, guar-anteed efficiencies, operating and mainte-nance costs etc.).

Economic comparison of tenders Recommendation for choice of contractor

NEW WASTE-TO-ENERGY UNIT IN MALMÖ, SWEDEN, SYSAV

Client: Sydvästra Skånes avfallsaktiebolag (SYSAV) Financed by: The Client Start: 1998-10 End: Ongoing Referee: Manager of SYSAV Energy Jonas Eek, SYSAV, Box 50344, 202 13 Malmö, Sweden. Tel.: +46 40-680 18 50

The waste-to-energy plant of SYSAV in Malmö has been extended by a new unit producing both heat and power on the basis of municipal solid waste and industrial waste from approx. ½ mil-lion inhabitants in the nine municipalities in Greater Malmö. The plant supplies heat and power to 30,000 households. The capacity of the plant is 250,000 tonnes of waste annually, and it produces 540,000 MWh heat and 135,000 MWh power. The plant is dimensioned in accordance with the latest EU requirements. In some areas, including NOx, the guarantee requirements are stricter than the future EU requirements. RAMBØLL is SYSAV’s representative, responsible for planning, design, tendering, contracting, pro-curement and construction supervision. In April 2000 the contract for the machinery was signed with MARTIN GmbH for the fur-nace/boiler, LAB SA for the flue gas treatment system and Alstom Power Sweden AB for the turbine/generator set. In the autumn of 2000

KCI Special Cranes AB was chosen as the over-head crane supplier. PEAB was in the spring of 2000chosen as the constructor of the concrete structures, while NCC in the autumn of 2001 was chosen as the constructor of the steel struc-tures. Rewiring and excavations for the waste pit and slag bunker were carried out in the summer and autumn of 2000 followed by pile foundation of the building with approx. 2200 piles. In September 2001 the concrete structures were finished to such an extent that the installation of machinery could begin. MARTIN, LAB and Alstom have in co-operation with SYSAV standardised the selection of com-ponents and sub-suppliers in order to ensure optimal maintenance conditions and a high de-gree of quality. The first firing with waste took place in December 2002. After this the produc-tion of heat and power started at the new plant.
