The retrofit includes ANDRITZ TurboSorp technology, which will significantly reduce emissions of harmful substances such as sulfur oxides, hydrogen chloride, hydrogen fluoride, dioxins, furans, heavy metals, and mercury. This will ensure full compliance with Germany’s stringent air quality regulations.

“With ANDRITZ’s proven expertise and advanced technology, we can significantly reduce emissions and extend the life of our waste-to-energy plant. This retrofit will help us improve local air quality while ensuring long-term, environmentally responsible operations for our city,” states Patrick Kosiolek, Section Manager at TBS.

The project is scheduled for completion within a year and a half. Construction and commissioning are set to begin in November 2025 and conclude in March 2027.

“This project showcases our commitment to sustainability and innovation. We’re proud to partner with Technische Betriebe Solingen to deliver solutions that make a real environmental impact,” says Andreas Arizzoli, Vice President, Clean Air Technologies, ANDRITZ.
