Kwinana Waste-to-Energy Plant (41 MWe) in Australia: Advanced Engineering and Sustainability
Australia
The Kwinana waste-to-energy plant, located 40 km south of Perth (Australia), is the country’s first “Waste to Energy” facility and is designed to process 400,000 tonnes of municipal waste per year. This waste-to-energy plant, owned by Kwinana WTE Project Co Pty Ltd with Acciona as the EPC contractor, generates 34 MWe net and by-products such as ash and metals, contributing to sustainability and efficient urban waste management. IDOM carried out the basic and detailed engineering, as well as procurement support for all mechanical, electrical, instrumentation, steel structure, and auxiliary supplies.
First Waste to Energy plant in Australia
The Plant will treat 400,000 tons annually of municipal waste to produce 34 MWe (net) plus sub‐products (ash and metals).
The Plant will consist of two integrated moving grate fired furnace/boiler lines, each with a Selective Non‐Catalytic Reduction (SNCR) system and a Dry or Semi‐Dry Air Pollution Control flue gas cleaning system, with zero aqueous emissions. Each of the lines has a capacity of 600 t/d.
IDOM has carried out the basic and detailed engineering of the project, as well as assisting in the procurement of all mechanical and electrical equipment, instrumentation, metal structure, and other auxiliary supplies.
