The challenge

The Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality decided to build a waste-to-energy plant. It is the first of its kind in Turkey and located in Istanbul, close to the new international airport. When working at full capacity, the three incineration lines were to process 1 million tons of waste per annum generating around 70 MW of electricity – saving landfill space and providing clean energy to the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality. DOMINION through its local Turkish branch received the order to supply the complete refractory lining work for the three waste-to-energy boilers.

DOMINION's +

For more than a century, DOMINION has been an expert in refractory linings. We continually improve engineering solutions and installation techniques and develop new refractory materials such as DOMINION tile systems. In addition to the traditional refractory materials such as abrasion-resistant brickwork, SiC mass and refractory concrete, approx. 2.800 m² of the innovative DOMINION tile system was installed to protect the tube walls. The tile system has been tested for more than 10 years in many WtE plants. It is easy to install, reliable and offers excellent heat transfer from 5 to 20 W/m²K depending on material quality.

Results

Once the plant has started operation, DOMINION will provide inspection, maintenance and repair services as a contribution to both the safe and reliable operation of the WtE plant and ecological, sustainable waste management.
