Metso has announced that it will deliver advanced automation solutions to two greenfield energy-from-waste plants to be located in the UK that will be built by Von Roll Inova Environmental Technology Ltd. The first of the two orders will be supplied to Riverside Resource Recovery Ltd’s plant, which will be the UK’s largest energy-from-waste facility when completed in 2011. It will be located in Belvedere, London, and will process 585,000tns of municipal and commercial waste per year on average, generating 72MW of electrical energy. The second order will be supplied to Veolia Environmental Services’ 19.4MW energy-from-waste plant, which will be located in Newhaven, East Sussex, and which will go on stream in 2011, as well. Metso’s delivery to both plants will consist of a metsoDNA distributed control system, an integrated boiler protection system and an information management system. The solutions will be used to manage operations and information at the incineration plants.
