Facility Assessment & Optimization

Get more from an existing thermal treatment system.

Thermal treatment facilities do not always operate as originally intended. Waste streams change. Equipment ages. Maintenance practices evolve. Regulations become more demanding. And systems that once performed well may gradually lose capacity, reliability or efficiency.

EWS provides technical assessments of existing incineration and thermal treatment systems to identify problems, establish priorities and develop practical improvement plans.

Following an assessment, EWS can provide a prioritized set of recommendations ranging from operational changes and maintenance improvements to equipment modifications, controls upgrades or larger system retrofits.

This work can support facilities seeking to improve reliability, throughput, operating cost, emissions performance or remaining service life.

Services may include:

• System and equipment inspections
• Performance assessments
• Operating cost and lifecycle cost assessment
• Capacity and throughput reviews
• Combustion and thermal performance analysis
• Waste and feedstock assessment
• Air pollution control and emissions review
• Maintenance program assessment
• Review of operating records and procedures
• Spare parts and inventory review
• Electrical and controls modernization
• Equipment modifications and upgrades
• Process and operating cost optimization
• Updated drawings and technical documentation
• Standard Operating Procedure development
• Maintenance procedure development
• Preventive maintenance program development
• Training and maintenance self-sufficiency programs
