US: Italy-based Buzzi-Unicem subsidiary Alamo Cement Company has signed a contract with Italy-based renewable power supply expert Renergetica for the construction of a solar power plant at its 1.1Mt/yr integrated Plant 1604 cement plant in San Antonio, Texas. Renewables Now News has reported that the plant will have a capacity of 10MW.

Netherlands: Waste management service N+P has said that it will aim to supply 1.2Mt of refuse-derived fuel (RDF) to UK recipients expected to include cement producers. It will release full details of the contracts in question in early 2020. N+P said that due to import tax it would seek to supply its Netherlands contracts with waste from sources other than the UK.

India: Waste-processing company Green Worms has won a contract for landfill extraction, refuse-derived fuel (RDF) processing and transportation to cement plants from the town authority of Fort Kochi in Kerala. The New Indian Express newspaper has reported that recyclable material will be removed before the waste is processed into fuel. “89% of waste is recyclable. But the rest can be converted into RDF,” said Green Worms project manager Thajudeen Abubacker.

UK: CWM Environmental has awarded a five-year contract to Geminor to distribute refuse-derived fuel (RDF) sourced from CWM’s Nantycaws material recycling facility in Wales to its European export market. The agreement, which followed a competitive tender process, has the option for extension of up to five years, in one-year increments. No value for the deal has been disclosed.

“Carmarthenshire’s waste will become a highly beneficial source of green energy,” said James Maiden, UK Country Manager at Geminor. “What’s more, through the use of empty load logistics, the entire project will result in minimal CO₂ emissions – a highly sustainable and economical solution.”

Mexico: France’s Veolia has signed a deal with Cementos Moctezuma to build a US$4.8m waste processing unit in San Luis Potosí state. Once operational the unit will be able to process up to 40,000t/yr of industrial waste, according to the Expansión newspaper.

UK: Andusia has signed a solid recovered fuel supply (SRF) supply contract with Powerday, a recycling and waste management company based in London. Powerday can process up to 1.6Mt/yr of construction, demolition, municipal, commercial and industrial waste.

Powerday completed a Euro2.25m upgrade to its materials recovery facility (MRF) in west London in mid-2018. Andusia and Powerday have formed a partnership in order to export 10,000t/yr of SRF to be recovered at a cement plant in the Mediterranean. This is one of Powerday’s first SRF trades since completing its MRF facility upgrade.

Iraq: Germany’s Eggersmann Group has sold a drying system for municipal solid waste (MSW) to Faruk Group for use in a mechanical-biological waste treatment plant (MBT) being built at Suleymaniyah. 1040t/day of refuse-derived fuel (RDF) will be produced at the plant from MSW and commercial waste. Faruk Group intends to use the RDF at its cement plant.

The MBT plant includes 22 drying lanes with aeration and membrane cover. It is being built on a 40,000m² plot of land. Each lane has a capacity of 2600m³ MSW and will be fitted with aeration and process control. The project also includes a sanitary landfill with leachate collection for the processing residues.

Faruk Group assigned Eggersmann Group with the planning, supply and commissioning of the biological drying process phase. Eggersmann will use its Backhus Con system using a combination of the membrane-covered Convaero process and the self-propelled Backhus turner.

Eggersmann says that the Backhus Con 100 is the world's largest turner with an effective operation width of 10m and a total width of 14.5m. It is fitted with tracks to run along the outside of the lane walls, while the waste will be turned within the lanes. In addition, the Backhus Con is equipped with two membrane cover winders to simultaneously wind and unwind membrane covers during turning. Since the system is effectively closed during turning, this method is suitable for sites where emissions are a critical issue. A further advantage of the system is the short processing time. Even materials with a high moisture level and high density can be efficiently composted or dried.

At the front end of the treatment process at the Suleymaniyah MBT, an Eggersmann single-shaft Teuton ZS 55 shredder will allow continuous shredding and a uniform discharge of shredded waste to the conveyor systems towards the drying area. One Teuton ZS 55 in two-shift operation is sufficient to cover the site’s daily throughput.

The plant is designed for a throughput capacity of 380,000tyr. The plant will be in operation seven days a week with two operation shifts and one cleaning and maintenance shift per day.

The ground works at Suleymaniyah are being built and installation of aeration system for the drying lanes is scheduled to begin in May 2019. The delivery of the other components and machines is planned to start in June 2019 and the warm commissioning is expected to start at the end of 2019.

UK: Sweden’s Metso has signed a service partner agreement for its M&J waste recycling equipment with Core Industrial Solutions. The deal will allow Metso to improve the availability of its services to the waste recycling industry. It has over 100 waste recycling machines in the UK.

"Complemented by Core Industrial Solutions' expertise and commitment, our services will enable maximised plant and operational efficiency with continuous maintenance," said Jens Peter Martensen, General Sales Manager, Metso Waste Recycling at Metso. Metso has also strengthened its overall setup and customer service in the UK and Ireland, by increasing sales personnel amongst other measures, to respond to growing customer needs.

UK: N+P says that Subcoal production will start at its Teeside plant in July 2019. Following nearly a year of de-commissioning and site preparation works. The project has achieved financial close and construction work has commenced following nearly a year of de-commissioning and site preparation works. The plant will consume 0.25Mt/yr of commercial and industrial waste feedstock and will produce 0.19Mt/yr of N+P’s Subcoal product. The engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractor is Fairport Engineering.

The Teeside plant will supply Subcoal pellets to different outlets including Simec Atlantis Energy (SAE) for use in its Uskmouth 220MW coal-fired power station, which is being converted from coal to waste-derived fuel. N+P and SAE have agreed a fuel-supply agreement to supply nearly 1Mt/yr to the power station once it has been converted to using Subcoal in place of coal in 2021. To meet demand for the contract, N+P plans to build a further three Subcoal plants.

Germany: Beumer is supplying a conveying and feeding system for alternative fuels for Deuna Zement’s plant in Thuringia. Umweltdienste Bohn, based in Alsfeld, was commissioned to supply the subsidiary of Dyckerhoff with alternative fuels and will build a processing plant on Deuna’s premises as part of this partnership.

As the general contractor, Umweltdienste Bohn engaged the Beumer Group for a conveying and feeding system using a pipe conveyor. The scope of supply also includes three feeding hoppers with a screw conveyor, belt conveyor, rotary starscreens and scales as well as steel structure, electronics and controls. Commissioning is scheduled for February 2018.
