Keppel unit wins US$13.7m contract for Nanshan II waste-to-energy plant

KEPPEL Seghers Belgium, a unit of Keppel Infrastructure Holdings, has secured a US$13.7 million contract to provide technology and services to the Nanshan II waste-to-energy plant in Shenzhen, Guangdong province, China.

The contract, awarded by repeat customer Shenzhen Energy Environment Engineering on Nov 19, is for the expansion of the existing facility through the provision of the core equipment, design and technical services for the plant's furnace and boiler.

Scheduled to be operational by end-2018, the Nanshan Phase II expansion will add 1,650 tonnes per day (TPD) of incineration capacity, enabling the facility to process up to 2,450 TPD of municipal waste, up from the current 800 TPD.

The plant will provide about 45 megawatts of electrical energy to the grid, with more than 7 per cent of this generated by using methane from the leachate treatment process as an additional fuel source to boost energy output.

The Nanshan Phase II expansion is Keppel Seghers' sixth contract win in China for 2016.
