Modernisation & upgrade

Develop your asset to enhance capabilities and throughput by system modernisation or modifications and equipment upgrades.

Let's talk

Sustaining performance over time

Modernisation and upgrade measures address ageing equipment, changing operating conditions, and evolving regulatory requirements. Targeted interventions support plant availability, operational stability, and long-term performance.

Services cover technical analyses and studies, retrofit and upgrade measures, performance and efficiency improvements, and emission reduction solutions. Measures are defined based on operational data, engineering expertise, and plant-specific requirements.

All activities are aligned with existing plant configurations and local frameworks, supporting safe operation and continued use of installed assets over their extended service life.

Improved functional capability

Targeted upgrades to improve functional capability and support higher throughput.

Technology integration

New technologies are integrated to modernise plant and equipment under defined operating conditions.

Enhanced asset value

Investment planning supports long-term asset positioning and continued plant use.

System-level modernisation addresses control, automation, and integration aspects to align plant operation with current technical requirements.

Targeted equipment upgrades and retrofits improve functionality, reliability, and compatibility with existing plant systems.

Structured studies analyse current performance and define upgrade measures to support higher throughput and operational efficiency.

Technical and economic assessments support investment decisions by prioritising upgrade measures and defining implementation pathways.

Grate combustion systems

The combustion system is the best-proven thermal waste treatment technology for mixed municipal, industrial or hazardous waste, and the heart of any modern, state-of-the-art waste to energy (WtE) plant.

Hazardous waste treatment

Treating hazardous waste is about the safe incineration (destruction) of the dangerous material contained in the hazardous waste. Moreover, issues such as the circular economy and energy recovery are also increasingly important.

Flue gas treatment

Incinerating waste produces exhaust gases laden with diverse pollutants. Different processes are used to remove these pollutants before the purified flue gas leaves the plant safely through the stack.

Carbon capture

Capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) from the flue gas produced in hard-to-abate industries and properly storing it (a process called carbon capture and storage or CCS) is a key component of most governments’ net-zero strategies.

Energy recovery

Recovering the energy content of waste is a key component of WtE technology. Since the process is largely renewable and involves only a low level of emissions, it also helps significantly reduce greenhouse gases.

Residue treatment

Thermal waste treatment produces residues which can be either reused or landfilled. The principal components are slags and ashes, consisting mostly of non-combustible waste constituents such as glass, minerals or scrap metals.

EcoFlex™ WtE plant solution

The new pre-engineered EcoFlex^™solution provides a modern waste infrastructure based on proven in-house technologies, allowing a cost-optimised design of single-line Waste to Energy plant construction and operation.
