Incineration plant of Tournai - IPALLE

published on September 21, 2010

Considering the increase of municipal waste quantity and the delivery of non-dangerous industrial waste, IPALLE decided to modify an existing waste disposal plant by replacing existing incineration streams and by 2 new lines.

From 1992 to 1996, IBH provided basic design, tender documentation and analysis of bids relating to additional equipment for the existing sorting/composting incineration plant of 80.000 tons/year in the Tournai area. The project included a flue gas cleaning equipment (160.000 Nm³/h) and an aerobic composting of “green” waste (12.000 tons per year).

From 1995 to 2004, IBH managed the extension of the Municipal Solid Waste incineration plant (240.000 tons/year) of the Occidental Hainaut Province with the addition of 2 incineration units of 16 tons/hour (38 MWth) and the refurbishment of existing facilities (reception hall, waste loading crane ...). A turbo generator of 18 MWe is added. A flue gas treatment equipment is installed in accordance with DUE/94 regulation (dangerous waste). The bottom ash treatment facilities is extended.

From 2002 to 2011, the municipal and non-dangerous industrial incineration stream N°6 is added. This stream is designed to burn 12 tons/hour waste each with a NCV (Net Calorific Value) of 10,500 kJ/kg (38 MW) or 90.000 tons/year.
Two existing incineration streams without energy recovery are replaced by a 38 MWth unit. The energy recovery is delivered by superheated steam to a 9 MWe turbo generator. Sludge combustion device (2 tons/hour) with pulverization in combustion chamber. A SCR Denox flue gas treatment for 3 incineration units (3 x 80.000 Nm3/h) is installed.

From 2008 to 2013, IBH works on the new incineration stream N°7. Civil works and refuse silo are extended. The existing incineration unit (17 MWth) is replaced by a 38 MWth unit. The existing flue gas treatment equipment is reused.
