Waste Energy Recovery
The project started in January of 2008 and had a duration of 18 months. The main objective of the project was to evaluate the possibility of building one or more Waste Energy Recovery plants to process Urban Solid Waste (USW) collected in the Santiago metro area. The project had to consider environmental, economic, and social aspects.
The technical complexity of the project allowed an identification of a specific Recovery Technology. Using this asset, the energy recovery from USW would be commercially feasible and complaint under local environmental norms. The process also included an extensive study of other available technologies in Chile and abroad where the USW Classification was a key factor in order to compare the different options. This information paired up with an Inferior Heat Power (IHP) analysis was inputted to the evaluation. The study was able to determine the techno-economical feasibility of building an incineration plant to recover energy.
