The contract, from Ebara Corp of Japan, has a total value of about $30 million.
The plant will produce electricity and process steam from up to 675,000 tonnes of RDF annually.
The new plant sited in Industriepark Höchst, Germany, will be the largest of its kind in Germany and will add substantial recycling capacity for RDF in the Rhine-Main region. It will operate in cogeneration mode and produce approximately 70 MW of power and 250 tonnes of steam per hour.
The Infraserv Höchst plant is planned to enter commercial operation in 2009 and has been designed to accept a wide range of RDF. The actual plant design is geared toward long-term operations.
