Waste to Energy/ Energy from Waste
Waste to Energy plants, also known as Energy from Waste plants, process waste into a fuel source to generate electricity and/or heat. Waste, typically plastic, is incinerated creating steam which is used to generate heat or electricity.
The high concentration of particles in the flue gas means that heating surfaces in the incinerators are coated in a particulate layer. Norgren Impact Cylinders (Rapping Cylinders) are used to rap against the heating surfaces which shakes off the build-up material.
