Tidy Planet Energy brings solid waste boiler monitoring system to RWM 2019

The Recycling and Waste Management (RWM) exhibition will present the opportunity to learn about Tidy Planet’s turnkey waste-to-energy plants, which feature solid waste boiler regulating technology from Sugimat.
With a focus on refuse derived fuel (RDF) and solid recovered fuel (SRF), Tidy Planet, Sugimat and filtration specialist Glosfume will all be on hand to discuss this in greater detail on the day.
Video showcases will reveal how the camera-controlled equipment is engineered to improve and optimise the combustion process. It continuously monitors the fire in the boiler, regulating air flow, grate movement and fuel feed to enhance the environment for maximum heat output and fuel efficiency.
Using a similar technology to that incorporated into TESLA’s newly developed heaters, the system uses real-time imagery to improve the efficiency of non-homogeneous fuels by up to 10%.
In 2016, both organisations worked together on a project for DHL at London’s Gatwick Airport when it became the world’s first to produce energy on-site from the RDF generated at the airport.
The AVS technology was then retrofitted to the plant in January 2018. Commenting on the rationale behind the partnership, Tidy Planet Energy’s managing director Simon Webb said: “Working together on the DHL-Gatwick project, we witnessed how well Sugimat’s advanced, boilers aligned with our philosophy of utilising waste as a valuable resource.
“The addition of the AVS enables companies to easily manage the variations in fuel feedstock and generate more energy, reduce labour input and eliminate any wastage from the fuel that they are putting in. And this, coupled with an accelerated industry demand for WtE solutions, is an exciting prospect.”
Sugimat’s Business Development Director Alex Mas added: “It’s clear that the technologies we bring to the table share a common denominator with those from Tidy Planet – they identify and optimise the energy production possibilities from organic wastes.
“As the AVS can anticipate, localise and rectify potential faults, less human interaction is required for maintenance, increasing both the machine’s uptime and a business’s bottom line. And we’re excited to speak more about this to delegates at RWM 2019.”
