Processing 210,000 tons of waste per year for ~720,000 people, the facility relies on an advanced flue gas treatment system where lime slurry neutralizes acid gases.
The challenge:
A Wallace & Tiernan paste slaking system installed in 1995 had become obsolete, with no spare parts available.
Sodimate Deutschland GmbH designed a targeted retrofit, preserving existing tanks and pumps while upgrading key components:
- silo discharge and dosing systems
- lime slaking units
- water dosing systems
- Brother washers
During installation, a mobile plant ensured continuous lime slurry supply, avoiding downtime. The result:
- smooth operation of both lines
- stable lime slurry production (~2,700 L/h)
- improved reliability and long-term maintainability
This project proves that aging installations can be modernized efficiently and sustainably.
