Waste Treatment Plant Sofia, Bulgaria
Project: Implementation of Phase II of the Project “Integrated system of solid waste treatment facilities of Sofia Municipality– Design and Construction of a Mechanical-Biological-Treatment (MBT) Plant for processing waste and production of Refuse Derived Fuel”
Employer: Municipality of Sofia, Bulgaria
Contractor: Consortium Aktor S.A. – Helector S.A.
Type of contract: F.I.D.I.C (International Federation of Consulting Engineers) based contract of type Design-Build (Yellow Book).
Type of project: Design, Build, Commissioning and Trial Operation.
Capacity: 410.000tn/year of municipal solid waste (MSW)
The Project includes design, construction, commissioning and trial run of “Plant for Mechanical Biological Treatment of Waste and Production of RDF-fuel” of capacity 410.000tonnes per year.
More specifically, the following process are performed in the MBT Plant:
Acceptance and pre-treatment of the incoming solid municipal waste.
Mechanical separation and sorting of recyclables materials.
Bio-drying of the waste.
Mechanical treatment of the bio-dried material for the separation of the recyclable fractions and production of RDF.
Biological composting of the organic fraction.
Mechanical treatment of compost for the production of compost-like output (CLO).
The infrastructural/auxiliary facilities of the Plant for MBT of waste include:
Dust and odor removal system consisting of bag filters, biofilters, scrubbers and stacks.
Wastewater water treatment plant.
RDF storage building.
CLO storage building.
Storage building for the separated recyclable materials.
Water supply and sewage networks.
Reduction and distribution substation 110/20 KV and transformers.
Water supply and sewage net works
Process water tank
Electronic weighbridge.
The entire process in the MBT Plant is managed by an automated data control and acquisition system (SCADA system)
