Plant technology
In the plant, some 650,000 tons of waste can be incinerated and thermally utilised annually. It involves waste feedstock with a heating value from 7,200 to 15,000 kJ/kg. Operating with 4 incineration lines, the waste-to-energy plant has a rated output of 22 Mg/h of waste per line. The rated thermal input per line is 66.7 MW.
