Eggersmann Anlagenbau was commissioned with the engineering planning and construction of a recycling plant for industrial, commercial and household waste in Dubai.
In addition to engineering design and planning, the scope of the order also included the procurement, manufacture and delivery of the entire plant technology and components as well as assembly and commissioning.
The waste recycling plant in Dubai was designed for a throughput of around 700 tons of commercial waste and 500 tons of household waste per day. The day to day industrial and commercial waste from the offshore industrial park, Jafza Jebel Ali Free Zone, is processed here in three stages.
In the material receiving area of the two line plant, the material composition is assessed to determine whether the material must be pre-sorted as a first step or whether it can be forwarded directly for processing in the plant.
The recycled fractions of PET, HDPE, paper, cardboard, ferrous and nonferrous are then pressed into bales and returned to the material cycle. The residue fine waste fractions are pressed into containers for subsequent disposal to landfill. The remaining high calorific value fraction is supplied to cement works for use as an alternative fuel.
