Japanese Waste to Energy Firm JFE Completes Hazardous Waste Incinerator in Malaysia

A joint venture between Japanese waste to energy technology firm, JFE Engineering and Tsukishima Engineering Malaysia has completed a hazardous waste incineration plant in Sarawak State, Borneo Island, Malaysia. JFE explained that the plant was ordered by Sarawak Wastes Management, which is a joint venture of the Government of Sarawak State, Malaysia, and Trienekens GmbH, a German waste treatment company. The kiln stoker furnace adopted in the plant was supplied by Tsukishima Kankyo Engineering, which is a Tsukishima Kikai Group company specialising in thermal treatment plants. The plant is said to be capable of treating a wide range of wastes, including both liquids and solids, and offer high combustion efficiency and reduced discharges of greenhouse gases through the utilisation of gas collected from an adjoining landfill site as supplementary fuel. According to JFE, Sarawak Wastes Management is the only waste management agency in Sarawak State, and the plant makes it possible to expand incineration treatment of industrial wastes generated by oil refineries, as well as medical wastes from hospitals in East Malaysia. The order for this plant was said to have been received based on an evaluation of JFE Engineering Group’s track record in the construction of urban-type environmental plants, and the various thermal treatment technologies of the Tsukishima Kikai Group. In particular, JFE said that one key point was the creation of localised implementation system, under which every possible effort was made to carry out the project by the local subsidiaries of JFE Engineering and Tsukishima Kikai. In the future, the JFE said that it will continue to actively expand its presence with Tsukishima Kikai Group in the nations of Southeast Asia, beginning with Malaysia, by supplying urban-type environmental plant technologies.
