EUWID - Recycling and Waste Management

Three new waste to energy (wte) plants featuring technology from the Austrian Energy & Environment (AE&E) group will be built in the Far East, said AE&E's parent company A-Tec Industries on Thursday. The plants had been ordered during the last quarter from Hitachi Zosen Corporation Ltd., AE&E's licensing partner in Japan. One of the plants is to be built in Laogang near Shanghai, and will be among the world's largest energy from waste plants with four incineration trains and a combined capacity of 1m tonnes per year when it is completed, said A-Tec. Hitachi Zosen is to provide the engineering design and the combustion system. AE&E's licensee also landed a contract during the past quarter for a wte plant in Nishiharima, Hyogo prefecture. Hitachi Zosen Corp. Ltd. has a licence agreement with Von Roll Umwelttechnik AG going back to 1961. Von Roll Inova, the successor company was rebranded as AE&E Inova in June.
