Grate Combustion System
From Combustion Systems
The grate combustion technology developed in-house is specially designed for the thermal treatment of municipal solid waste. It has been perfected through decades of operating experience and today achieves unsurpassed levels of efficiency and reliability.
Product Details
Its core is an inclined reciprocating grate and it consists of the following elements.
- Waste feeding system
- Air-cooled or water-cooled Grate – Aquaroll®
- Combustion air system
- Flue Gas Recirculation system
- Advanced Combustion Control System
- Bottom ash handling system
Well-Proven and Reliable Combustion Technology
The rugged construction of the grate and its insensitivity to highly heterogeneous waste fractions explain why grate combustion remains the most wide-spread method for thermal treatment of residual waste today. In fact, it constitutes the heart of Energy-from-Waste plants and is the technology of choice not only for untreated municipal and industrial wastes, but also for refuse-derived fuels and for pre-treated wastes.
Conveying and Stoking to Perfection
From the feed hopper and chute the ram feeder doses the waste onto the grate in a controlled way. The grate is composed of individual grate modules with alternating fixed and moving grate block rows. The hydraulically-driven moving grate blocks stoke the waste and convey it through the combustion chamber as needed to achieve optimum burn-out.
Individually Adapted
The number of grate modules depends on the specific throughput, the properties and the calorific heating value of the waste. Various grate modules are assembled in rows and lines to suit each specific situation with a capacity between 4 to about 44 tons per hour.
The air-cooled grate with its robust design has proven to be very reliable. Depending on the properties of the waste, it is the most favorable solution in terms of capital and maintenance costs.
For high thermal loads, especially those containing conditioned waste with higher calorific values, water-cooled grate bars ensure optimum burnout and increased lifetime. They offer a decisive advantage: in every zone, the airflow can be adjusted precisely to combustion requirements and if necessary even reduced to zero.
