At the heart of this project, the household waste energy recovery unit is being completely modernized to strengthen its performance and reduce its environmental impact. This initiative, led by a major player in environmental engineering, aims to integrate new equipment such as more efficient boilers and state-of-the-art smoke treatment systems.
The main challenge is to coordinate these installations within an infrastructure that is already in service, requiring careful planning and careful management of the interfaces between existing and new equipment. The work also focuses on optimizing processes, in order to increase energy production while complying with current environmental and safety standards. In this complex technical environment, Vulcain Engineering's mission is divided into several components, from general installation studies and site supervision, to the supervision of the solutions selected in terms of performance and sustainability.
This global approach places the safety of operators, the reliability of systems and the respect of deadlines at the forefront, thus contributing to a concrete energy transition in the field of waste recovery.
The client was looking for an engineering partner who could conduct technical studies and oversee the integration of new equipment, such as high-performance boilers and smoke treatment devices. The main difficulty lay in bringing a site already in operation into compliance, where the continuity of operations had to be maintained. Optimizing energy efficiency, ensuring safety and maintaining environmental standards were among the key priorities at each stage of the project.
Reconciling technological modernization with the continuous operation of the existing unit.
Respect increasingly demanding environmental and safety standards.
Optimize processes to increase energy efficiency and reduce carbon footprint.
Vulcain Engineering took charge of general installation studies, integrating the new equipment into the current infrastructure with particular attention paid to interfaces. Dedicated teams supervised the implementation on site, ensuring smooth coordination between the mechanical, electrical and instrumentation trades. This approach is based on Vulcain's expertise in environmental engineering, aimed at simultaneously optimizing the energy efficiency, safety and sustainability of installations.
Studies and precise sizing of boilers and associated pollution control systems.
On-site supervision to ensure technical consistency and respect agreed deadlines.
Interdisciplinary coordination, the cornerstone of a successful and efficient modernization.
