SILO AND FEEDING HOPPER – WASTE-TO-ENERGY PLANT ENGLAND PROJECT

Completed Project Reference – KDT Industry

Introduction: Transforming Waste into Power

The Silo and Feeding Hopper Installation at the Waste-to-Energy Plant in England marks a significant step in the global transition towards sustainable energy and resource efficiency. Waste-to-energy (WtE) facilities convert municipal and industrial waste into clean, renewable electricity, reducing landfill dependency and carbon emissions.

KDT Industry played a vital role in this project by supplying custom-engineered silos, feeding hoppers, and auxiliary storage systems, ensuring reliable, safe, and efficient waste handling operations for continuous power generation.

Challenges and Solutions

The Waste-to-Energy Plant project in England posed several technical and environmental challenges:

1. Irregular Waste Composition – Municipal waste streams contained varying levels of moisture and density.
2. Continuous Operation – Feeding systems had to operate 24/7 without clogging or downtime.
3. Environmental Compliance – Strict UK and EU regulations required maximum efficiency and minimal emissions.
4. Durability Requirements – Silos and hoppers had to withstand heavy loads and abrasive materials.

KDT Industry’s Solutions:

• Designed variable-feed hoppers with automated flow control.
• Installed reinforced silos with high-capacity handling for waste storage.
• Applied wear-resistant coatings to extend equipment lifespan.
• Integrated modular components for easier maintenance and scalability.

These solutions ensured the plant operated with maximum efficiency and sustainability.
