JFE Engineering Corporation

JFE Engineering Corporation (President: Kazumi Fukuda, Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo) has been awarded the "New Combustible Waste Treatment Facility Development and Operation Project" (hereinafter referred to as "This Project") by the Ashigami Upper Waste Management Association in Kanagawa Prefecture.

This project involves the establishment of a new incineration facility (stoker type incinerator, 40t/day x 2 furnaces) as a consolidated facility for the Minamiashigara City Cleaning Plant, Oi Beautification Center, and Ashigami West Environmental Center, with Minamiashigara City, Nakai Town, Oi Town, Matsuda Town, Yamakita Town, and Kaisei Town forming a wide-area treatment system of one city and five towns. Our company, in a joint venture (representative company: JFE Engineering Corporation) with JFE Environment Technology Co., Ltd. [※1], has been entrusted with the integrated design, construction, and 20-year operation of this facility through the DBO method [※2].

The new incineration facility will adopt the "Counter-flow Combustion Method" [※4], an evolution of our proprietary "High-Temperature Air Combustion Technology" [※3], which achieves 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" [※5], we aim to stabilize combustion and improve power generation output.

In addition, we will implement our proprietary fire prevention technologies, including the AI smoke detection system "Smoke AI®" [※6], and provide remote operation monitoring and operational support from our "Global Remote Center" [※7] at our Yokohama headquarters, ensuring even safer and higher quality facility operation.

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.
