Ace Waste Incinerator, Willawong, QLD Stepped hearth incinerator 10,600 tpa Currently treats medical waste, quarantine waste, drugs, oil filters and solvents. Predominantly southeast Queensland and some volumes from Australia’s east coast The facility currently treats about 7,000 tonnes of waste per annum and has approximately 3,600 tpa additional capacity. It can treat additional volumes of similar waste if required. There are currently no plans to modify or upgrade this facility other than to consider energy recovery options. Energy recovery options would require a boiler and turbine to be retrofitted to the plant/site. This could be undertaken in approximately 12-24 months. The Ace Waste Willawong facility is currently a key hazardous treatment facility in Queensland and has additional capacity to treat similar types of waste (3,600 tonnes per annum). The process uses a stepped hearth systems so is not suitable for treatment of liquid waste. Dandenong, VIC incinerator operating at 1100 - 1200 °C. 70,000 tpa Facility recently commissioned taking contaminated soil and hazardous waste with a high calorific value. Mostly Victorian region. The facility can potentially take a broad range of hazardous waste types predominantly contaminated solid and liquid wastes. As this is a new facility, many wastes have not been applied at this stage. The current facility can take both a significant volume of similar waste and additional hazardous waste. The facility has continuous monitoring 24/7. The primary requirement will be licence amendments as materials are proven to be treated through the existing system. A small thermal facility that has potential capacity to treat additional hazardous waste streams. Veolia are interested in exploring these options.
