The order was placed by POSCO Engineering & Construction (POSCO E&C), a Korea-based engineering, procurement and construction contractor. The plant is owned and operated by the waste management company Miejskie Przedsiębiorstwo Oczyszczania in the city of Warsaw (MPO Warszawa).
Valmet’s delivery consists of a Valmet DNA Automation System and an information management system to control the boiler of the new plant. It helps to ensure efficient and environmentally sound energy production from waste-derived fuels.
The new waste-to-energy plant will be started up for commercial operation in 2024. It will process 305,000 tons of municipal solid waste from Warsaw per year to produce electricity and district heating.
“It’s crucial to have the right and reliable partner to secure a successful project delivery. We have been satisfied with our previous collaboration with Valmet in another waste-to-energy project in Krakow, Poland, and hence we are glad to work with Valmet again,” says Junho Moon, general manager, POSCO E&C.
