IVRY II – WASTE-TO-ENERGY PLANT BOTTOM ASH EXTRACTOR MANUFACTURING PROJECT

Completed Project Reference – KDT Industry

Introduction: Enhancing Waste-to-Energy Efficiency with Advanced Ash Handling

The Ivry II Waste-to-Energy Plant Bottom Ash Extractor Manufacturing Project demonstrates how advanced engineering can enhance the efficiency, safety, and sustainability of modern waste-to-energy (WtE) facilities. Bottom ash extractors are essential for removing, cooling, and transporting ash generated during the combustion process, ensuring the continuous operation of WtE plants.

KDT Industry played a central role in this project by designing, fabricating, and delivering bottom ash extractor systems, structural steel supports, silos, and auxiliary storage equipment, enabling Ivry II to operate at world-class environmental and efficiency standards.
