MHIEC Receives Contract for Improvement of Core Equipment at Municipal Solid Waste Incineration Facility in Kanazawa Repair of East Environmental Energy Center to Extend Operational Life, Enhance Energy Efficiency, and Reduce CO2 Emissions
– Renovation of incinerator devices with processing capability of 250 tons/day, arranged for conclusion in March 2029
– Renewal of combustion devices and other core centers intends to extend the functional life of the center

Kanazawa city’s East Environmental Energy Center

TOKYO, October 16, 2025-(JCN Newswire)- Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Environmental & Chemical Engineering Co., Ltd.(MHIEC ), a part of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI)Group, has actually gotten an agreement from the city of Kanazawa (Ishikawa Prefecture) to recondition and enhance the core centers of the city’s East Environmental Energy Center, a community strong waste (MSW) incineration plant. The restoration of the stoker-type incinerators(* 1) with processing capability of 250 lots each day (tpd) intends to extend the life of the center, boost energy effectiveness, and decrease CO2 emissions. The overall worth of the agreement is 4.3 billion yen before tax, with work set up to be finished in March 2029.

The East Environmental Energy Center was crafted and constructed by MHI, and finished in March 1991. It makes up 2 stoker-type incinerators, each with processing capability of 125 tpd. Power generation capability making use of recurring heat from the plant is 3,000 kilowatts (kW).

The plant’s core centers have actually formerly been reconditioned two times, initially over a four-year duration from 2004, followed by a round of building over a four-year duration from 2014. This 3rd repair intends to extend the functional life of the center through renewal of significant devices that has actually ended up being difficult to preserve due to wear and tear gradually and production discontinuation, consisting of the centers for waste reception and feeding, combustion, combustion gas cooling, exhaust gas treatment, and waste heat usage. In addition, energy performance will be improved with the adoption of high-efficiency motors and transformers, while upgrades to MHIEC’s exclusive brand-new combustion control system, formerly set up as part of the earlier enhancement work, will permit a lower air ratio(* 2) and offer more steady combustion.

Recently, the variety of restoration tasks for MSW centers has actually increased as a procedure to extend the functional life of such plants, and lower their influence on worldwide warming. MHIEC took control of the waste treatment plant company in 2008, obtaining MHI’s technological advancement abilities in ecological systems and broad-ranging competence in the building and construction and operation of waste management centers both in Japan and overseas. This comprehensive experience enables MHIEC to supply detailed services, from plant building and construction to operations. Moving forward, leveraging this most current order and its previous outcomes, MHIEC will proactively propose more energy-saving improvements and system enhancements for steady operation at existing waste treatment centers, in addition to methods to minimize lifecycle expenses, consisting of upkeep and management expenses, resulting in more organization agreements.

(* 1) A stoker-type incinerator injects air from underneath heat-resistant fire grates, blending the waste and other product by pressing it up, and enabling effective incineration. It is the most typical system utilized for local strong waste (MSW).
(* 2) The air ratio is the worth of the real quantity of air provided to the incinerator for combustion, divided by the theoretical minimum quantity of air needed for total waste combustion.
