On 24 November 2008, MARTIN was awarded the contract to supply a combustion line to replace line 1 in the waste-to-energy plant of Stadtwerk Winterthur. This contract marks the successful and ongoing cooperation between Stadtwerk Winterthur and MARTIN, a cooperation that began in 1974 with placement of an order for the line now being renewed, expanded in 1995 with start-up of line 2, and now continues with replacement of line 1.

The order includes the combustion system, steam boiler, flue gas dedusting in a 2-field electrostatic precipitator and an SNCR system for denitrification of the flue gases. Our scope of supply also covers the electrical/instrument and control system technology including the automation level required for process control.

The combustion line consists of the reverse-acting grate with 2 runs and 13 steps and has a total width of 5.16 m. The waste throughput and gross heat release are a maximum of 13.5 Mg/h and 38 MW respectively.

The steam boiler is a MARTIN-designed vertical-type boiler. At the customer's request, the boiler is designed in such a way that components integrated in the 3rd boiler pass can be installed and removed comparatively easily.

Start-up is expected to take place in the first quarter of 2012.
