A joint venture of JFE Engineering (M), a wholly owned local subsidiary of JFE Engineering Corporation and Tsukishima Engineering Malaysia, a wholly owned local subsidiary of Tsukishima Kikai Co., announced the completion of a hazardous waste incineration plant in Sarawak State, Borneo Island, Malaysia. A completion ceremony was held in November with a number of distinguished guests in attendance.
This plant was ordered by Sarawak Wastes Management, which is a joint venture of the Government of Sarawak State, Malaysia, and Trienekens, the major waste treatment company in Germany. The kiln stoker furnace adopted in the plant was supplied by Tsukishima Kankyo Engineering., which is a Tsukishima Kikai Group company specialising in thermal treatment plants. The plant can treat a wide range of wastes, including both liquids and solids. High combustion efficiency and reduced discharges of greenhouse gases are also realised by utilising the gas collected from an adjoining landfill site as supplementary fuel.
Sarawak Wastes Management is the only waste management agency in Sarawak State. The plant makes it possible to expand incineration treatment of industrial wastes generated by oil refineries, etc., and will also treat medical wastes from hospitals in East Malaysia.
