Incinerators, Melting Furnaces, and Power Generation

Various wastes are incinerated at high temperature with no emission of toxic gas, and the ash is recycled as materials for steel-making.

Overview kiln-type incinerator

The waste is incinerated at 800℃ or higher in a kiln (rotary drum).
The exhaust gas is released through gas cooler, dust collector and denitrification system.

Features of the kiln-type incinerator

  1. 1.Handles a wide range of waste

    Wide range of waste can be treated at same time such as sludge, oil, acid, alkali, plastics, rubber, paper, wood, textile, metal, and glass.

  2. 2.High recycling efficiency

    Incinerated ash is reused as steelmaking material.

  3. 3.Exhaust gas Treating measures

    The gas exhausted by pyrolysis is sprayed with caustic soda to remove hydrogen chloride and sulphur oxide. Then bag-filters and catalysts remove dioxins and nitrogen oxides.

Power Generation - Initiatives to supply electricity using waste as fuel at Pacifico Yokohama

J&T Recycling create "Waste to Power recycling system" in Rinko Park area;
1)Collecting waste from Rinko Park,
2)Generating electricity using HEAT Recovery system of J&T incinerators and biogas from JBIO,
3)Suppling power to Rinko Park through Urban Energy Corporation※
※Urban energy Corporation is a PPS(Power Producer and Supplier)
Urban Energy Corp. offers a power rate discount service called "Sodenwari®" corresponding to the amount of waste discharged by the customer.

*Rinko Park
This is the largest green space in the Minato Mirai district, with a lawn plaza, south entrance plaza, tidal pond, and an outstanding location overlooking the Port of Yokohama.
(From the Pacifico Yokohama website)

Each facility in Pacifico Yokohama, the source of the discharged waste, is equipped with sorting boxes to ensure a more efficient collection of waste and resources.

Overview Fluidized bed gasification and melting furnace/vertical furnace

Waste is gasified at 600℃ in a fluidized bed furnace and then turned into slag in a cyclone melting furnace for final disposal through recycling.
(Manifest E can be issued as a final disposal company)

Features of fluidized bed type gasification and melting furnace

  1. 1.Stable pyrolysis and gasification
    Possible to perform pyrolysis and gasification stably with any type of waste, by keeping contact with 600℃ heated sand.
  2. 2.Resource recovery with high asset value
    Metals are polished with sand and can be sorted without oxidizing, so they can be recovered with high asset value.

Tokyo Waterfront Eco Clean

Processing capacity: 550 t/day (275 t/day x 2 systems)
Exhaust gas treatment: Soot and dust, HCI, SOx, NOx, dioxin
Types of waste: acid, alkali, sludge, plastics, paper, textile, rubber, metal, animal and plant residue, glass and ceramic

Overview of vertical incinerator

By supplying combustion air in the tangential direction and swirling like a vortex, waste is slowly burned over 3 to 4 hours with the temperature inside the furnace at about 900 ° C without bias. This system is one of the most suitable method for treating medical waste.
(Incinerated ash will be re-gasified and recycled, thus no additional disposal is needed)

Features of the vertical incinerator

Optimized for medical waste.

  • The incinerator can be heated to an even temperature of approximately 900℃, which means total combustion and total sterilization is possible.
  • Stable gas (temperature, volume) can be obtained and fly ash can be reduced.
