ÅF is a leading technical consultancy for
Waste-to-Energy projects
Waste-to-Energy projects are the leading solution for minimising landfill use as well as producing power and heat from non recyclable waste fuels. By producing high quality Solid Recovered Fuel from waste it is also possible to substitute fossile fuels in power plants. The challenges caused by the difficult fuel are now managed by the advanced firing control and new materials able to withstand corrosive environment.
Thanks to the very strict requirements and advanced technical solutions the Waste-to-Energy power plants have very low emissions into air and water and actually produce less emissions than conventional power plants.
