Energy from Waste

In order to optimise Energy-from-waste (EfW) processes and achieve more efficient energy production, inputs need to be closely monitored and controlled.

The composition of waste from different sources can vary significantly. Measuring inputs, tracking waste sources and keeping the burner supplied with a uniform volume of waste can help EfW plants to maximise the amount of energy extracted from each tonne of waste.

One of the important factors that determine the revenue from an EfW facility is its gate fees. With gate fees levied on each tonne of waste accepted at site for treatment, it is important that the weighing equipment in place is accurate, reliable and able to stand up to fraudulent transactions.

Weighing equipment and solutions from Avery Weigh-Tronix can help to monitor inputs and outputs to provide the data required to make your operation more efficient.
