HOBAS Industrial Pipes for a Lean Gas Pipeline in a Waste Incineration Plant
In 2009 ground was broken for the new incineration plant of Linz AG to ensure an orderly disposal of waste and sufficient energy supply for Greater Linz.
The plant consists basically of two facilities: a prefixed waste processing unit with integrated fuel storage and the actual power plant where waste is burned and transformed into heat by fluidized bed combustion. Hot steam and high pressure that are subsequently generated in a calorifier are converted into electricity with a steam turbine and the heat remaining in the processed steam is then used for warm water to feed the district heating system. With this new power plant the Linz AG can supply electricity for an extra 37,000 households and district heating for another 11,000 dwellings.
