Introduction: Advanced Screening Solutions for Waste-to-Energy Efficiency
The Ivry II Waste-to-Energy (WtE) Plant Bottom Ash Tube and Cage Screening Project demonstrates how KDT Industry provides innovative ash handling and screening technologies to maximize the efficiency and sustainability of modern waste-to-energy facilities. Bottom ash screening ensures that metals, aggregates, and usable by-products are separated from residual waste, enhancing both resource recovery and environmental performance.
KDT Industry played a central role in this project by designing and fabricating tube and cage screening systems, structural steel supports, silos, and auxiliary handling equipment, enabling Ivry II to meet world-class operational and sustainability standards.
Project Scope and Objectives
The Ivry II facility required specialized bottom ash screening systems to improve ash recovery and reduce landfill dependency. KDT Industry’s objectives included:
- Designing and manufacturing tube and cage screening systems for ash separation.
- Delivering conveyors, silos, and feeding hoppers for ash handling.
- Providing auxiliary storage tanks for water and chemical treatment processes.
- Fabricating structural steel frameworks, pipe racks, and maintenance platforms.
- Ensuring compliance with EU Waste Framework Directive, ISO 14001, and WtE industry standards.
These contributions allowed the Ivry II facility to become a benchmark in ash management and sustainable waste recovery.
Engineering and Manufacturing Excellence
Tube and cage screening requires precision engineering and materials capable of withstanding abrasive and high-temperature ash. KDT Industry delivered:
- Tube Screens: Heavy-duty cylindrical designs for efficient ash size separation.
- Cage Screens: Reinforced systems for fine sorting and recovery of aggregates and metals.
- Ash Silos and Hoppers: Abrasion-resistant structures for storage and handling.
- Auxiliary Tanks: Safe systems for water and chemical additives used in cooling and dust control.
- Structural Steel Supports: Frameworks for conveyors, screens, and maintenance access.
- Protective Coatings: Heat- and corrosion-resistant finishes ensuring long service life.
- Compliance: All systems designed in accordance with EU and international WtE standards.
These solutions ensured that Ivry II’s bottom ash processing achieved efficiency, safety, and sustainability.
Challenges and Solutions
The Ivry II Bottom Ash Tube and Cage Screening Project faced several key challenges:
- High Abrasion Levels – Bottom ash is extremely abrasive and corrosive.
- Continuous Operations – Systems required 24/7 operation with minimal downtime.
- Environmental Compliance – Meeting strict EU standards for emissions and recycling.
- Integration with Existing Systems – Screening units had to fit seamlessly into the plant’s infrastructure.
KDT Industry’s Solutions:
- Applied abrasion-resistant alloys and coatings to prolong screen life.
- Designed modular prefabricated units for fast installation and easy maintenance.
- Integrated dust suppression systems for safer ash handling.
- Coordinated closely with technology providers for seamless system integration.
These measures ensured reliable, long-term performance under demanding waste-to-energy conditions.
