Mitsubishi to supply key equipment for Taiwanese waste-to-energy project

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Environmental & Chemical Engineering Co., Ltd. (MHIEC), a part of the Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Group, has signed a contract to supply key equipment for the BOT (Build-Operate-Transfer) project of the Taichung Wenshan Waste-to-Energy (WtE) Plant in Taichung City, Taiwan.

The existing Taichung Wenshan WtE Plant, located in central Taiwan’s Taichung City, has been in operation since 1995. Due to aging infrastructure, the Taichung City Government is planning to construct and operate a new plant through a BOT scheme. Mitsubishi concluded a contract on December 19th with the Special Purpose Company (SPC) awarded this BOT project by the Taichung City Environmental Protection Bureau to supply major equipment including the incinerator units. Through this contract, Mitsubishi will contribute to the stable operation of the plant.

The SPC was established as a joint venture between Onyx Ta-Ho Environmental Services Co., Ltd., Taiwan’s largest waste management company, and TCC Chemical Corporation, a subsidiary of TCC Group Holdings Co., Ltd., Taiwan’s largest cement company. The term of the BOT project is expected to be 30 years.

Mitsubishi will deliver its state-of-the-art proprietary V-type stoker waste incinerator (hereafter, “V-type stoker furnace”), which achieves high environmental performance and realizes the highest power generation efficiency among waste incineration power generation facilities in Taiwan.

Mitsubishi has a proven track record of delivering seven WtE facilities in Taiwan. Moving forward, Mitsubishi Group will further promote the expansion of the V-type stoker furnace and enhance after-sales service, contributing to the stabilization of waste treatment and the realization of a carbon-neutral society in Taiwan.

Recently, Mitsubishi Power Ltd. – part of the Mitsubishi Group – had completed the construction of a 50- MW class woody biomass-fired power plant in the city of Hyuga, in Miyazaki Prefecture of Japan.
