The expansion and modernization of the ZUSOK plant in Warsaw is the largest investment in the thermal processing of mixed waste in Poland. The new plant is currently undergoing numerous commissioning tests. An impressive infrastructure has been built on the same land as the original plant was. Find out about some facts: 👉 built-up area: 29 850 m2 👉 total area (on three levels): 48 400 m2 👉 cubic capacity of the facilities: 670 000 m3 👉 green roofs: 20 000 m2 👉 safe processing of 300 000 tons of mixed waste into heat and power for Warsaw 👉 the…
POSCO E&C has been operating in Poland since 2012, implementing top-class construction and engineering investments. The first project was the construction of a thermal waste treatment plant in Krakow https://khk.krakow.pl/pl/ekospalarnia/. In the spring of 2021, we started work on the ZUSOK site in Warsaw. This has aroused the interest of various circles from all over the world, including Korean circles, which are curious about our experience in operating or entering the Polish market. On 28 October (2024), we hosted representatives of KIND - Korea Overseas Infrastructure & Urban Development Corporation - a promoter of public-private partnerships in business https://lnkd.in/dRgCADax.
The Warsaw ZUSOK (Municipal Solid Waste Treatment Plant) is an important part of the capital's waste management. As such, we regularly meet with local government representatives at the site. On 7 and 8 October, we hosted at ZUSOK the Environmental Protection Commission of the Warsaw City Council, the Development Commission of the Targówek District Council and the Management Board of the Targówek District, as well as members of the Social Council for the Expansion of ZUSOK, which cooperates with the MPO and has supported and commented on the investment since its inception. The visits were hosted by the President of…
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…
