INEVA
INEVA Environmental Technologies, which stands out with its innovative technologies in the field of sewage sludge disposal, came together with the participants at the 9th International BULAQUA 2017 conference held at the Bulgarian Inter Expo Center on April 4. The conference, where main scientific titles such as circular economy, innovative technology, energy efficiency in the sector, modern technologies for wastewater treatment and sewage sludge, and economic use of water resources were discussed, was sponsored by INEVA.
INEVA, which uses waste that harms the environment and needs to be disposed of as a valuable energy source in its own technology, aims for a sustainable change by creating a material and energy cycle with this system. It also presented a model of a facility where electricity can be produced by using waste as a renewable energy source within the scope of biomass to the attention of the participants.
INEVA General Manager Onur Taş, who was a speaker at the conference, conveyed the following: Climate change and the depletion of world resources are leading humanity to a crossroads regarding the limits of the planet. In this context, the emergence of a new economic system based on raw material, resource and renewable energy usage has almost become a necessity. At this point, the necessity of Circular Economy is indisputable. Because this economy supports sustainable growth. For this new production system, on the way to a low carbon economy, one of the most important elements of sustainable production is waste management. There is a value that waste will create as raw material. If waste is included in production and economy and transformed into products, raw material imports will decrease. In this way, waste, which is almost ignored, turns into value. Achieving recycling and recovery in accordance with the waste management hierarchy is indisputably important and meaningful for our world and our country.
If we explain INEVA's contribution to the circular economy; As INEVA, we process waste at high temperatures and safely remove harmful substances in the ecological cycle. With the energy recovery method we apply in our facility, we prevent the use of fossil fuels and the disposal of waste into landfills, while also preventing methane emissions. In addition, we can provide 1.5 tons of steam energy for every 1 ton of waste disposal during this process. The steam energy obtained can be used directly, and if desired, it can be converted into electrical energy by adding turbines.
Onur Taş, who stated that INEVA solutions, which are completely domestic technology, have attracted great attention at the point where Bulgaria needs waste disposal solutions in one-on-one meetings with Deputy Prime Minister and President of European Funds Malina Krumova, Minister of Environment and Waters Irina Kostova and Minister of Economy Teodor Sedlarski, said; INEVA has a total of 6 facilities that it has installed in three years. Thanks to these facilities, we have disposed of a total of 125 thousand tons of sludge to date. Our goal is to establish 5 new facilities by the end of 2017 and create a total of 600 tons/day sludge disposal opportunity. Thus, we will be able to obtain 900 tons/day of steam. Taş, in addition to the facilities they have built and put into operation to date; He added that they won two tenders opened by Kocaeli Water and Sewerage Works (İSU) and said that for the first time in Turkey, we started the installation of the machines we produce in Kocaeli İSU facilities that can produce energy by disposing of all the urban treatment sludge of an entire city. We will start waste disposal and energy production in the facility within this year.
