La primera planta de conversión de residuos en energía de América Latina está operando en la Ciudad de Cancún al 100% desde el pasado 20 de Agosto del 2015. Esta planta, evitará la emisión de 900 toneladas de CO2 a la atmósfera por año y es un proyecto público-privado en el que participan como socios las multinacionales Tratamientos de Residuos Sólidos Urbanos quien es la encargada de garantizar el montaje de la infraestructura tecnológica y HURST Boiler & Welding, Co. quien es la dueña de la patente de la tecnología para la combustión de residuos sólidos Municipales. El ingeniero mecánico Alemán, Oliver Hoffman, explicó a la agencia Notimex el proyecto en Cancún, durante la Conferencia Panamericana Waste To Energy 2016, que se realiza en Medellín, Colombia. El ingeniero señaló que a diferencia de otros Países en 2010 TRS / HURST hicieron una propuesta conjunta a los Municipios de Mérida en Yucatán y a Benito Juárez en Quintana Roo para una invitar a las Municipalidades a tratar los residuos sólidos dando el primer paso para montar las dos primeras plantas de WTE (Waste to Energy). “El 99% de los Municipios en México tienen botaderos de basura. No hay ningún tratamiento y la ley no obliga que las autoridades locales desarrollen proyectos a favor del medio ambiente", explicó el experto Alemán, quien tiene un master mecánico de la Universidad de Barcelona (España). Las plantas de conversión de residuos en energía, conocidas como Waste To Energy (WTE), se están convirtiendo en una necesidad para garantizar energías limpias hacia el futuro, en especial en América Latina, una de las regiones más rezagadas en el tratamiento de residuos sólidos urbanos. La planta esta localizada en un espacio creado y destinado especialmente para tratar 1,200 toneladas de residuos diariamente, en una área de 67,237 metros cuadrados. Tendrá una capacidad de generación eléctrica de hasta 20 MWth, con una salida de vapor de caldera de 76,500 kg/h. "Evitara la emisión de 900,000 toneladas de CO2 en la atmósfera por año. El 90% de los residuos convertidos en energía eléctrica beneficiará a 80,000 residencias ó al alumbrado público de la mundialmente famosa zona turística, logrando importantes ahorros para el Municipio", subrayó el experto. Aseguró que las plantas WTE "permiten reducir hasta en un 90% el volumen de los residuos, utilizando tecnologías de alto rendimiento, con seguridad ambiental probada". Las WTE utilizan sólo materiales no reciclables de lo recolectado en forma selectiva y se presentan como una parte complementaria de la cadena de reciclaje. Este tipo de instalaciones –dijo– contribuyen "a la reducción de gases de efecto invernadero a la atmósfera. En el proceso de operación se garantiza una baja generación de metano, que se produce en la descomposición de las materias orgánicas presentes en las basuras".

OXY-MISER SERIES “Deaerator” Feed Water Systems
Deaerators have long been used in power plants and water-tube type boilers,
primarily to remove the dissolved oxygen and other non-condensable gases while
also pre-heating the feed water. An additional advantage is the capturing of more
“flash loss” from higher temperature condensate returns. These same advantages
are important today for all boilers due to higher capital investments. This can be
used to heat the feed water and lower operating costs. The protection of all the
steel within the entire system easily justifies the cost of the “OXY-MISER”.
BOILER PARTS IN STOCK
Hurst is a major supplier of boiler parts and controls that are commonly found on most boiler systems. We stock parts and supplies for gas, oil,
coal or solid fuel systems. No matter the maker, Hurst can fill all your parts needs.
