JFE Engineering Corporation (President: Kazumi Fukuda, Head Office: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo) has recently received an order from the Yamanashi Seibu Wide Area Environmental Union [※1] for the "Yamanashi Seibu Wide Area Environmental Union New Waste Treatment Facility Development and Operation Project" (hereinafter, "this project").
This project involves establishing a wide-area treatment system for 11 cities and towns in the western Yamanashi area, and developing new waste incineration facilities (stoker-type incinerators, 137t/day x 2 furnaces) and bulky waste treatment facilities (20.3t/day). In this project, our company has comprehensively undertaken the design and construction of these facilities, along with 20 years of operation services under the DBO method [※2].
The newly constructed waste incineration facility will achieve the highest level of high-efficiency power generation among general waste treatment facilities in Japan, by adopting ultra-high temperature and pressure boilers.
The incinerator will employ the "Counter-Flow Combustion Method [※4]", which is an evolution of our proprietary "High-Temperature Air Combustion Technology [※3]". Furthermore, by introducing the fully automated operation system "BRA-ING [※5]", it aims to stabilize combustion and improve power output across a wide range of waste volumes and qualities.
In addition, we will introduce our proprietary fire prevention technologies, including the AI smoke detection system "Smoke AI [※6]". Through remote operation monitoring and operational support from our "Global Remote Center [※7]" located at our Yokohama Head Office, we will ensure even safer and higher-quality facility operation.
Furthermore, by collaborating with numerous local companies from design and construction to operation, we will contribute to the revitalization of the regional economy.
As a leading company in waste-to-energy plants, we will continue to aim for the achievement of SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) and the resolution of social issues through the effective utilization of waste, providing optimal technologies tailored to our customers' needs.
※1 The constituent cities and towns are Nirasaki City, Minami-Alps City, Hokuto City, Kai City, Chuo City, Ichikawamisato Town, Hayakawa Town, Minobu Town, Nanbu Town, Fujikawa Town, Showa Town.
※2 DBO: A method of comprehensively ordering Design, Build, and Operate.
