Two gripper cranes for transferring waste from the bunker to the furnaces have passed technical supervision tests. Once the cranes have been approved for use, further inspections can be carried out within the bunker. The grippers are powerful, each capable of moving 5 tonnes of waste at a time.
Today marks the beginning of the Korean Thanksgiving holiday - CHUSEOK. Literally meaning 'autumn evening', it symbolises the end of summer, but also reminds us that everything is temporary. During these days, Koreans give thanks for the harvest, hope for better times and visit family homes and ancestral graves. Part of the tradition is the preparation and sharing of rice delicacies enriched with natural ingredients - sesame seeds, beans, nuts, jujube, honey or ginger. We believe that tradition helps to build social relationships and maintain bonds. We are together…
Commissioning work is underway at ZUSOK. Monitoring of the drying and "cooking" of the boilers continues from the control room, using final control systems. The next step will be the so-called boiler blowdown, or more precisely, the blowing of steam collectors from the boilers to the turbine. The blowdown will clean and prepare the inner surfaces of the boilers for operation. We will also obtain optimal performance parameters for the power equipment – an important aspect because the incineration plant, while managing waste, will produce heat and electricity for Warsaw too.
As part of a development program run by the Jeonnam Human Resources Lifelong Education Promotion Center, South Korea, officials from Jeollanam-do province visited us on September 2, 2024. The participants, during their week-long stay, will visit many new investments in Poland and Germany. The first meeting was held at the Information Center, which we operate for public communication and environmental education, in connection with the expansion and modernization of the Municipal Solid Waste Disposal Plant in Warsaw. The director of incineration plant / ZUSOK, Sławomir Cięciara, presented the history of the unit and the principles of the capital's waste management.…
On 22 August we had the pleasure of hosting at ZUSOK Ms. Marta Gurin - Head of Policy & Technology CEWEP (Confederation of European Waste-to-Energy Plants), who came to visit us from Brussels. The history of the plant and the new investment was presented by ZUSOK's long-time director, Mr. Sławomir Cięciara. 💬 My visit to the construction site of the Warsaw WtE plant provided a firsthand look at the circular economy in action. This project is vital for the city of Warsaw, as it will significantly reduce non-recyclable waste, lower emissions, and deliver sustainable heating and electricity, contributing to a…
Korean tradition points to and celebrates the special three days of summer: the beginning (ChoBok), the middle (JoogBok) and the end of the hottest season (MalBok). MalBok falls on August 14th. Hot days are an advantage when we are on vacation, and during the intense work in our Warsaw project, when we don't slow down, we need to take extra care of ourselves. In celebration of MalBok Day, there was an extra moment of relaxation for everyone, and something delicious to strengthen ourselves - an aromatic Korean dish that refers to a tradition that encourages us to strengthen ourselves on…
We are preparing for the hot commissioning of the new installation at ZUSOK in Warsaw. One of the elements is boiler commissioning work, including the drying of boiler linings using oil heaters, which is coming soon. The drying of the lining serves to make the boilers robust and airtight. The work involves two boilers, first conducted on one unit and then on the other, a few days apart.
We are consistently connecting more technological points of the Warsaw's mixed waste incineration plant under development & modernization process. In cooperation with Luehr Filter, we have successfully commissioned two flue gas fans for the new K2 and K3 lines. Both units have achieved full operational readiness. The work was very well coordinated at the level of the flue gas treatment plant and boilers by an excellent team. On our side, the process was supervised by Łukasz Baran, FGT Manager. The commissioning of the fans went smoothly and opened the way for further commissioning targets. It is worth mentioning that the…
As part of the project to develop and modernize Warsaw's incineration plant ZUSOK, we also conduct environmental workshops for residents. Most often we are visited by kindergarten and elementary school pupils - that's more than three thousand visitors so far! We operate all year round, and during the summer holidays we carry out the "SUMMER IN THE CITY" action. Green Tomorrow, with POSCO
Since the end of May (2024) we have been seeding the roofs of Warsaw's mixed waste incineration plant. Development with modernization of the plant is heading towards completion. In addition to technologically complex tasks leading up to commissioning, we are carrying out finishing, road and gardening work. The plant has been operating in Targówek for more than 20 years, and when the project is completed, in addition to its primary function of safely managing waste and producing heat and electricity from it, it will perform social and educational functions. Green roofs, with a Mazovian meadow and beehives on the unloading…
