JFE Engineering Corporation (President: Kazumi Fukuda, Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo) recently received an order from the Ashigarakami Sanitary Association in Kanagawa Prefecture for the "New Combustible Waste Treatment Facility Construction and Operation Project" (hereinafter referred to as the "Project").
This Project involves the establishment of a wide-area treatment system by one city and five towns (Minamiashigara City, Nakai Town, Oi Town, Matsuda Town, Yamakita Town, and Kaisei Town). It will build a new incineration facility (stoker-type incinerator, 40t/day x 2 furnaces) as a consolidated facility replacing the Minamiashigara City Incineration Plant, Oi Beautification Center, and Ashigara Western Environmental Center. Our company established a joint venture with JFE Environmental Technology Corporation (Representative Company: JFE Engineering Corporation) and was collectively contracted for the design and construction of this facility, along with a 20-year operation business, under the DBO (Design, Build, Operate) method.
The newly built incineration facility adopts the "counter-flow combustion method," which is an advancement of our proprietary "high-temperature air combustion technology." This realizes stable combustion at a low air ratio for a wide range of waste volumes and qualities. Furthermore, by introducing the fully automated operation system "BRA-ING," we aim to stabilize combustion and improve power generation output.
In addition to introducing our proprietary fire prevention technologies, such as the AI smoke detection system "Smoke AI®," we will provide remote plant operation monitoring and operational support from the "Global Remote Center" located within our Yokohama headquarters, enabling even safer and higher-quality facility operation.
As a leading company in waste-to-energy plants, we will continue to aim to achieve the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) and solve social issues through the effective utilization of waste, providing optimal technologies tailored to the needs of our customers.
