Landfill-free treatment of waste at the Persian Gulf

18/06/2019

On the south-eastern edge of Sharjah, our partner CNIM builds a waste combustion line in close proximity to the Dubai border. Local waste management company Bee'ah and project developer Masdar are the contracting entities.

As of 2021, CNIM will operate the plant for 25 years and combust approx. 300,000 t of household and commercial waste per year. The released heat shall be used to generate approx. 30 MW of electricity. What is more, Sharjah will be the first major city in the Middle East to achieve the goal of a fully landfill-free disposal of waste.

The plant is located in the desert and near the sea so that high temperatures and a significantly fluctuating air humidity necessitate an open building that still offers protection against dust and sandstorms.

MARTIN will supply a 5-run reverse-acting grate Vario with a width of 13.140 m. The gross heat release will be 109.4 MW with a maximum throughput of 42.3 t/h. The MICC system will be used for combustion control.
