Environmental Plant Business Company Evolving Toward a Brighter Future
- From Manufacturing to Service with Reliable Technologies and Flexible Innovation -

One cannot overlook the importance of environmental plant business companies in EBARA Group. EBARA environmental plant business companies have been expanding their scope of business activities and are performing remarkably well.

Ebara’s Efforts Toward Next-Generation High-Efficiency Waste Power Generation Technology

In Japan, waste treatment facilities have been changing along with the living environment and social needs of the times. In addition to their intended purpose of sanitation treatment of refuse, they are now required to play more multifaceted roles, including highefficiency energy recovery and utilization as disaster prevention bases.

The Evolution of Internally Circulating Fluidized-bed Boiler for Wood Biomass Electric Power Generation

Since the introduction of the feed-in tariff (FIT system) for renewable energy, the certified capacity of biomass electric power generation has been on the rise, so to handle this, we must ensure the stable and sustainable procurement of woody biomass fuels.

A Boiler Manufacturing Plant Making Full Use of Advanced Technologies, such as IoT and Automatic Welding Robots

Founded in 1992, Ebara Qingdao Co., Ltd. now designs and manufactures municipal solid waste incinerators, waste heat boilers for power generators, transfer systems, etc. It receives orders directly from municipal solid waste incineration plant manufacturers in Japan, and exports them from China to other countries.

Automatic Crane System with Waste Identification AI

In February 2019, an automatic crane system outfitted with waste identification AI started operation at the Funabashi Hokubu Incineration Plant. Previously, waste crane operation was dependent on the experience and judgment of operators, but this system automates it by utilizing AI while maintaining stable incinerator operation.

Sophisticated Operation of Waste Incineration Facilities through Remote Support
- Example of Utilization of the Fujisawa Field Support Center and the Haneda Technical Support Center and Outlook for the Future -

In the aim of more stable and sophisticated operation of waste incineration facilities, we established the Fujisawa Remote Support Center (hereinafter, “FSC”) in the Fujisawa District of Ebara Corporation in June 2016 and started real-time operation support services for waste incineration facilities.

Improving Municipal Solid Waste Incineration Processing Technology in China

In recent years, the amount of solid waste generated in China has been on the increase, and so controls of appropriate treatment for solid waste have been tightened. Here, we report on the upsizing of facilities in response to market demand for solid waste treatment in China, the stable treatment of solid waste according to the quality and characteristics of local waste, and the improvement of energy recovery technology.
