W?rtsil? Incinerator

The Wärtsilä incinerator combines innovative technology with benefits of using paddle technology and the wet-de ashing system. The (Water Cooled Paddle System) requires only a short combustion chamber, due to the forward and backward movement, resulting in an optimal mixing of waste during the incinerating process. Since the combustion process takes place on the bottom of the incinerator, the air supply is above the burning waste, which results in reduced airborne ash. The paddle system has water cooled shafts and paddles made from Inconel, which cannot be overheated.

The wet de-ashing system eliminates airborne ash in the dry waste compartments, resulting in a cleaner and healthier working environment for personnel. In addition, it is easy to handle ash bags and reduces maintenance on other equipment installed nearby.

Unique incinerator for a cleaner and healthier environment

Operating in today’s cruise market can be a challenge with all the new environmental regulations applying to cruise ships. It is a requirement that the effluent from a ship must be clean and safe. Wärtsilä’s Hamworthy has a proven track-record in developing technology to meet these anticipated environmental standards. Our solutions have set the global benchmark for wastewater management. Wärtsilä can provide a complete, fully integrated package for wet and dry waste treatment.

Wärtsilä incinerator vs. conventional

System technology	Wärtsilä incinerator	Effect	Conventional	Effect
Airborne ash reduction	Unique wet de-ashing system with air supply from above eliminates airborne ash	Cleaner and healthier working environment for personnel	Moving grate with an air supply from below results in a high amount of airborne ash	Working environment with unhealthy ash to breathe
Ash handling	Easy handling of ash bags	Less work for personnel	Challenging handling of dry ash	More unhealthy work for personnel
Side effects of airborne ash	Eliminated airborne ash reduces maintenance need on other equipment installed nearby	Savings in the form of reduced maintenance need	High amount of airborne ash requires costly maintenance on nearby equipment	Increased costs for equipment maintenance
Operational reliability	The forward and backward movement of the paddle technology results in an optimal mixing of waste	The optimal mixing of waste during incineration and water-cooled shafts and paddles made from Inconel ensures system cannot get overheated	A moving grate can transport the waste only in one direction, which is not the most efficient process	Will become blocked with solid particles after a very short time resulting in overheating and stoppage
Space requirement on board for same burning capacity	The forward and backward movement of the paddle technology requires only a short combustion chamber for the necessary retention time	The compact and short combustion chamber saves valuable space on board	A moving grate can transport the waste only in one direction, thus requiring a longer design for the necessary retention time	The long combustion chamber results in a much larger footprint taking up much valuable space that could be used for something else
