Industry leading waste to energy sector manufacturing.

In the waste-to-energy (WtE) sector, metal products play a crucial role in the infrastructure and equipment used to convert waste into usable energy

These products need to withstand harsh conditions such as high temperatures, corrosive environments, and constant wear from waste processing.

Boilers and Heat Exchangers
- Stainless steel is commonly used for constructing boilers and heat exchangers in WtE plants due to its excellent resistance to high temperatures and corrosion. These components are essential for converting the heat generated from burning waste into usable steam or electricity.
- Alloy steels like Inconel or Hastelloy may also be used in more extreme temperature or corrosive environments, particularly in waste incinerators.
Incineration Systems
- Carbon steel and stainless steel are used in incinerators for burning municipal solid waste. The steel must withstand high temperatures while resisting corrosion from the acidic gases produced during the combustion process.
- Heat-resistant alloys may be used in areas exposed to direct flame contact to ensure durability.
Reactors and Pressure Vessels
- Carbon steel, stainless steel, and alloy steels are used to build reactors, pressure vessels, and tanks for handling and storing chemicals under high pressure and temperature.
- Nickel alloys, such as Hastelloy, are also used for more aggressive chemical reactions.
Gasification and Pyrolysis Systems
- Nickel alloys and stainless steel are used in gasifiers and pyrolysis reactors for converting waste into gas and other byproducts. These metals can endure the high temperatures and corrosive gases produced during the gasification process.
- Ceramic coatings are often applied to metal parts to enhance their resistance to corrosion and erosion.
Piping and Tubing
- Stainless steel and carbon steel pipes are extensively used in WtE plants to transport gases, liquids, and slurries. They must resist both the physical stresses from high pressures and the chemical stresses from exposure to flue gases and other byproducts.
- Titanium or alloy steels may be used in specific applications where extremely aggressive chemicals or high temperatures are present.
Storage Containers and Tanks
- Stainless steel tanks are used for storing liquid byproducts, such as leachates or biofuels, generated from the waste-to-energy process. They offer resistance to corrosion, ensuring the safe storage of chemical byproducts.
- Corrosion-resistant alloys like Hastelloy and Inconel are sometimes used in more aggressive environments where chemical exposure is significant.
