ABB has implemented the first industrial IT based automation solutions for a WTE plant at the waste to energy plant in Malmoe, Sweden. The plant is highly automated and uses Operate IT to provide operators and management with real-time plant information data.
The document describes the highly automated thermal waste treatment plant installed for SYSAV in Malmö, Sweden. It highlights the Industrial IT based automation solution, Operate IT, which integrates plant control with information systems to deliver real‑time data, optimized operator efficiency, and streamlined process optimisation.
The scope of supply includes the process control system, instrumentation, medium‑ and low‑voltage switchgear, transformers, motors, frequency converters, turbine controller, UPS, and auxiliary equipment. Key plant data such as a 25 t/h combustion capacity, 100 t/h steam production, 26 MW electricity generation, and district heating capacity are also listed.
