Project Description
For years Cartiere Burgo delayed facing their mounting sludge disposal dilemma by placing this problem waste in an on-site, lined landfill.  With the landfill reaching capacity, landfill monitoring requirements increasing and alternatives dwindling, Burgo determined the best solution was to install a fluidized bed combustion system to convert the new sludge and the landfill sludge into usable energy.  This forward thinking decision was the most economical and environmentally sound alternative available.   After a world wide search for the best suited technology, Burgo selected EPI as the most experienced supplier of waste to energy systems in the marketplace.

New paper sludge from the mill and reclaimed paper sludge from the existing landfill is converted into usable energy in the EPI fluidized bed combustion system  The waste-to-energy system supplies 46 MBtu/hr (48.5 GJ/hr) to a waste-heat style, superheated steam generator.  Superheated steam powers a 3.2 MWe turbine/generator set.

The EPI energy system at the Burgo facility meets stringent air emissions requirements established by the plant operating permit.  This unique system uses selective noncatalytic reduction to reduce NOx emissions by as much as 75%, well below levels achievable with other competing grate or suspension technologies.  Emissions of other pollutants such as SOx, CO and VOC's are also inherently low in the EPI energy system.

Scope of Supply

EPI supplies the fluidized bed combustion system, NOx abatement, bed additive system, bed recycle system, and the process design for the entire boiler island.
