Hitachi Zosen to build energy-from-waste plant in Thailand

A consortium of Hitachi Zosen and KPN Green Energy Solution (KPN) has
received an order from WPGE Phetchaburi (WPP) to build a energy-from-waste
plant in Thailand.

The cpower plant includes a stoker-type waste incinerator with a processing
capacity of 476 tons per day and will ahve a power output of 7,900
kilowatts.

Hitachi Zosen and KPN are set to construct the Energy-from-Waste plant in a
municipal solid waste treatment and power generation project undertaken by
WPP, a joint venture formed by STP&I Public Co., Ltd. Group specializing in
the steel structure and module fabrication business in Thailand, and WP
Green Energy Co., Ltd., a developer in the renewable energy business.
Hitachi Zosen is responsible for designing the plant and supplying key
equipment.

Thai environmental and energy situation

Thailand's economic growth has triggered an increase in the amount of solid
waste generated and problems such as open-air landfilling and illegal
dumping. The government is promoting reforms in solid waste management and a
shift to renewable energy. Carried out as a part of these efforts, the
project seeks to create a "sound material cycle" in Thailand. The
Energy-from-Waste plant will enable safe, hygienic incineration of waste
that was previously sent to landfill, and with a power generating capacity
of 7,900 kilowatts, meet the rising demand for energy.
