Autaro™ by Kanadevia Inova

A combustion management system that doesn’t only produce steam on a stable basis.​ The main job of a combustion control system is to ensure even plant operation and the constant production of steam. Another key factor is flexibility. Fluctuations in waste compositions and calorific values at different plants require correspondingly flexible processes – and thus the right control system. This is also important if the waste does not burn as desired. In such a case, it must be dried and moved, and oxygen must be fed in additionally.​

Optimum combustion with little oxygen

With Autaro™ the plant can operate with significantly lower oxygen levels than usual and keep the oxygen content downstream of the boiler below 4% – an impressively low value. With combustion optimised by the adaptive reduction of oxygen, a reduction of NOx is also achieved without exceeding CO limits. This in turn leads to a reduction in the use of DeNOx additives. If less air is blown in, less fly ash and exhaust gases are produced. This means new plants can be designed with smaller flue gas systems. ​

There are also considerable savings in energy consumption and a lower overall environmental impact, which makes the plant particularly sustainable. In retrofits, new reserves can be created by operating at a low oxygen level, meaning that higher loads can also be achieved.

The muscle and brain of your WtE plant

Waste to Energy plants treat waste thermally to generate environmentally friendly energy.

To maximise cost-effectiveness and efficiency, the incineration system must satisfy the most demanding requirements.

A good incineration system consists of a good grate and a good management unit. Kanadevia Inova now offers its new Kanadevia Inova grate in combination with the AutaroTM combustion management platform for the ideal interplay of hardware and software: the muscles and brains of your plant. It’s a combination that ticks all the boxes if you’re looking for a modern and efficient incineration system for your Waste to Energy plant.

Drawing on our decades-long experience and wastespecific know-how, we’ve now set new standards for the incineration technology used in Waste to Energy plants, giving you greater flexibility in dealing with different compositions of waste and greater steam stability, all at surprisingly low levels of oxygen.

Decisively more space for maintenance work

Access to the grate hydraulics and the grate hopper has also undergone a significant improvement, with additional space and stairs to the ash transport systems facilitating regular maintenance work, as does access through doors without stairs. The fact that each element of the grate can be controlled directly also simplifies work.

More stable and reliable in operation

Fuels are conveyed into the combustion chamber via the feed hopper. The ram feeder and its sloping rear wall ensure that the fuel is pressed evenly and thus distributed homogeneously on the grate. All important systems in the process have been made more compact and can be controlled individually. All these optimisations create more space and allow easy access for maintenance work.
