Abstract

The objective of this project is to build and demonstrate a commercial operating PyroArc plant south of Trondheim in Norway. The proposed capacity of the plant is 10500 tonnes of waste per year. The plant will be capable of processing all types of waste, other than radioactive waste. The plant will recover the energy from the combustible part of the waste and produce slag and metal from the non-combustible part. Energy will be recovered as hot water and electric power. The hot water will be utilised in the local district heating grid and the electric power will be used partly internally, the rest being exported on the local net. Slag can be sold as a construction material while the metal can be sold to foundries for the production of simple foundry products, for example counter-weights on trucks. The plant will generate no, or very little, residue (for example ash) which has to be buried in landfill.

Project Partners

The coordinator of the project is EnviroArc technologies (Norway). The partners are ScanArc (Sweden), SINTEF (Norway), Tronder Energi (Norway), Sita (Sweden) and CF Nielsen (Denmark).
