The commitment to

sustainable waste management

is realised by:
BAVIRO, or the BedrijfsAfvalVerbrandingsInstallatie Roosendaal
in full, is the latest of SITA ReEnergys acquisitions. This new
construction project will be fully operational in 2011. For SITA,
the realisation of the BAVIRO waste incineration plant signies
a key strategic addition: an enormous expansion of the waste
disposal capacity (290,000 tons per year) and the generation of
32 MW of what is for a large part sustainable electricity. As a result,
the company will strengthen its position as an important player
in the eld of collection and recycling of waste, and in which
sustainability is a leading principle. The contractors consortium
BAM Civiel Von Roll Inova vof is responsible for the turn-key
erection of the complete plant.
Green energy
The decision for BAVIRO is a decision
for sustainability. As much as 48%
of the electricity generated by BAVIRO
is labelled green. This makes it one of
the leading Energy-from-Waste plants
in Europe in this respect. From 2011,
the plant will be able to generate as
much as 246,000 MWh of electricity,
which is enough to serve the power
needs of 70,000 homes. The energy
will be provided directly to the grid.
In addition to electricity, negotiations
are under way to also provide district
heating to a housing estate yet to be
built. The neighbouring greenhouses
will continue to be supplied with district
heating. The current incineration plant
will be shut down and demolished after
BAVIRO will go on line.
A vefold increase
BAVIROs capacity creates a vefold
increase in existing capacity. The plant
will process waste from more than
550,000 citizens (290,000 tons) every
year. The expansion also has positive
consequences for employment, given
that the number of employees will
double. A number of the current staff
(operators and maintenance personnel)
will after specialized training be able
to operate and maintain the new high-
quality and more complex plant. Before
operations commence, the consortium
will also provide installation-specic
training for personnel. In order to satisfy
stafng requirements, SITA will also look
outside the organisation for technical
and maintenance personnel.
Step 1: Waste delivery and storage
The waste is delivered in trucks to the reception
hall of the plant and tipped into the bunker.
It is important that the waste i.e. the fuel
is thoroughly mixed by the waste cranes, so that
combustion is as even as possible. The waste is then
fed into the feed hoppers of the two process lines.
Step 2: Combustion
The waste is combusted on a ve-zone
Von Roll Inova reciprocating grate, the rst
zones of which are water-cooled. This
process reduces the volume of the waste
by 90%. A fully integrated control system
ensures safe and efcient operation,
low emissions and improved quality of
the residual materials. The bottom ash is
re-used at a later stage for embankments
and foundations.
Generating sustainable energy
In 2005, SITA ascertained that the
existing capacity (60,000 tons per year)
at the current power plant in Roosendaal
was insufcient to meet the increasing
demand for waste disposal. In addition,
there was the ambition to recover more
(sustainable) energy from the waste.
And only the new generation, high-yield
plants have the ability to create this.
Whilst not all heat could be recovered
in the existing plant, BAVIRO now uses
this thermal energy to generate electric
power and to provide heat. This is in
line with the approach taken by SITA,
one of the most important companies
in the waste sector, nationally and
internationally. The companys
operations are as sustainable as
possible; BAVIRO, therefore, meets
the most stringent environmental
requirements. The negative effects on
the environment and the surrounding
area are kept to a minimum.
The energy from waste process
The consortium
The consortium comprises the Dutch
company BAM Civiel and the Swiss
company Von Roll Inova as the
consortium leader. BAM Civiel is
responsible for the civil engineering
aspects (roads and buildings),
the building-related installations
and the generation of electricity
(water/steam cycle), while Von Roll Inova
provides the process design and process
equipment, such as the furnaces, boilers
and ue gas cleaning systems. The
two partners have been cooperating
for over 18 years on similar projects,
with Von Roll Inova being responsible
for the plant design and the erection
of the incineration, boiler and ue gas
treatment technologies. BAM Civiel is
the local partner for the design and
erection of the civil works and energy
recovery systems.
Proven solutions
The challenges in the BAVIRO project
are diverse. There is the existing
plant on the Potendreef that must
operate continually. BAVIRO will
be built close alongside it, which
demands sophisticated logistics
solutions. A signicant advantage
is that SITA ReEnergy, as part of
SUEZ ENVIRONNEMENT, has its own
knowledge centre, thus being familiar
with the way in which such projects need
to be carried out. Proven technologies
have been chosen for the waste
incineration process, such as water-
cooled grate furnaces. This ensures
a high energy efciency and a smooth
transition from the old plant to BAVIRO.
Step 4: Flue gas cleaning
The ue gasses leaving the boiler
are rst cleaned from y ash by
means of an electrostatic precipitator.
Downstream in the Von Roll Inova
dry ue gas cleaning system sodium
bicarbonate and lignite coke are
injected within the dry reactor.
The acid gas reaction products,
adsorbed dioxins/furans and heavy
metals as well as particles are
separated in the following fabric lter.
Thereafter NOx levels are reduced
in a low temperature Selective
Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system.
The cleaned gas coming out of
the 80 metre stack is continuously
monitored and keeps the plant in safe
compliance with the worlds strictest
emission limits of the European Union.
Step 3: Energy recovery
The hot combustion gasses are cooled in the boiler while
the water of the closed water/steam cycle is vaporised
and superheated up to 62 bar and 422C. The energy of the
superheated steam is converted by means of a steam turbine/
generator set into electricity. The exhaust steam of the turbine
is condensed in an air-cooled condensor and fed back as water
to the boilers. Of the original energy content of the waste,
approximately 28% is recovered as electricity.

Sustainability has been a central issue in SITAs mission for several years now:
offering sustainable solutions in the eld of waste management with respect
and integrity towards both society and the environment as our core values. SITA aims
to collect and process waste more effectively and by using smarter means. Eighty
percent of the waste we collect is applied usefully and it is our ambition to see this
percentage rise even further. Burning the waste that remains after the separation
of recyclable materials provides a sustainable contribution to the environment.
All of SITAs activities focus on contributing to a safe and clean environment.
SITA Nederland co-operates with SITA organisations in Belgium, Germany and
Luxembourg. This co-operation operates under the name SITA NEWS, with NEWS
standing for Northern Europe Waste Services.
By joining national forces, SITA is able to anticipate international developments
in the waste sector and other developments in the market as a whole. This close
cross-border co-operation creates opportunities and chances for SITAs ambitions
to grow nationally and internationally.
SITA NEWS has more than 8,200 staff and an annual turnover of more than
1.5 billion. The four countries collect 5 million tonnes of waste from 9.5 million
inhabitants and 190,000 companies in the Benelux and Germany annually.
