New garbage-burning power plant to be built in Senegal

China National Electric Engineering Co Ltd (CNEEC), an affiliate of Sinomach, has recently partnered with Mitsubishi Electric Research Laboratories (MERL), a US subsidiary of the corporate research and development organization of Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, to build a 10-megawatt (MW) garbage-burning power plant in Senegal.

The world's advanced Martin Waste-to-Energy (WTE) Technology will be applied in the project, along with a WTE incineration plant which is capable of handling 450 tons of waste every day. The project also includes a waste heat boiler, systems for flue-gas treatment and dust removal, and a 10 MW condensing unit.

The project aims to help local people deal with household solid waste and improve the urban environment. It is designed to increase the share of non-fossil fuels in the country's primary energy consumption through harmless treatment, reduction, and resource utilization for solid waste disposal, which will ease the local supply and transportation pressure of coal and other fuels and optimize the structure of the energy sources industry. Economic and social benefits will also be brought with the project.
