Lomellina Energia S.r.l., the operator of the Parona waste-to-energy plant in the Lombardy province, has awarded a consortium involving MARTIN the contract to build a new turnkey combustion line for the thermal treatment of residual household and commercial waste. On behalf of its Italian consortium partners, MARTIN will supply the grate-based combustion system, including the combustion air system. As of 2022, the new line will thermally treat 200,000 t/a of residual waste and will use the heat released to generate electricity to be fed to the grid.
For the new line, MARTIN will supply and start-up a reverse-acting grate Vario with 5 runs, which corresponds to a total width of 13.14 m. The gross heat release will be up to 110 MW with a throughput of up to 36.3 t/h.
Following start-up of the new line, one of the two older lines of the plant will be taken out of service.
