South Korea’s Doosan Heavy Industries & Construction won a project contract to build a waste-to-energy plant in Poland with a contract value of approximately 220 billion won (US$185.5 million).

According to the contract, Doosan Heavy Industries and its German subsidiary Doosan Lentjes will build a waste-to-energy plant in Olsztyn, about 200 kilometers north of Warsaw.

The project owner is Dobra Energia, a Polish energy company. The new waste-to-energy plant will be equipped with responsive equipment to convert combustible waste resources generated by industrial sites or households into energy through gasification, incineration or pyrolysis processes.

The power plant can process about 300 tons of municipal waste every day, generating about 12MW of heat and electricity. Doosan Heavy Industries will be responsible for providing comprehensive project management services, while Doosan Lentjes will provide incineration boilers and environmental protection equipment. In addition, Doosan Lentjes will be responsible for the mechanical and electrical engineering of the power plant.

Doosan Skoda Power, a Czech turbine manufacturing subsidiary of Doosan Heavy Industries, will provide a 12MW gas turbine for the sub-project. The project is scheduled to be completed in 2023.

Due to the tightening of landfill policies in Europe, the demand for replacement of old power plants continues to rise, and the demand and orders for European waste-to-energy plants are rapidly increasing. Editor/Sang Xiaomei
