Wet-to-Dry conversion at Tampieri biomass plant

Are you aware of the challenges water consumption and dust emissions pose to biomass power plants?
At Magaldi, we support the biomass industry with dependable solutions that prioritize efficiency and environmental responsibility. The impressive outcomes of our projects speak for themselves!
Take Tampieri Green Energy’s biomass plant in Faenza, Italy, for example. We replaced their Submerged Chain Conveyor, which caused costly downtime and a polluted work environment, with our Ecobelt® BIO system.
The implementation of the Magaldi dry bottom ash handling system led to remarkable results, including:

  • Elimination of downtime
  • Reduction in water consumption and potential ash disposal costs (-25% in the weight of dry ash compared to wet ash)
  • Dust emissions containment through the atomization system installed at the Ecobelt® BIO discharge
  • Improved overall work environment quality and cleanliness
  • Reduced TOC and potential combustion efficiency improvement

Contact us to discover how Magaldi can help you boost efficiency, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness at your biomass plant. Let’s make a positive impact, together!

Poland’s Waste-to-Energy Expansion Makes Incinerator Bottom Ash a Strategic Resource

19 February 2026

As Poland rapidly scales its thermal treatment capacity toward the 4.2 Mt/year target, a crucial question remains: are you still paying to bury your profits? With the KPGO 2028 targets in sight, Incinerator Bottom Ash (IBA) is no longer a waste to be landfilled but a massive stream of recoverable metals and minerals. Traditional wet systems are becoming a financial drag, degrading metal quality and inflating disposal costs. Are you leaving value on the table for someone else to monetize? Discover how the shift toward dry management solutions, like MADAM (Magaldi Dry Ash Management), is redefining the economics of Polish WtE projects, turning disposal liabilities into high-purity secondary raw materials and boosting plant EBITDA.

TrAsh or Treasure? The Circular Promise of Dry Ash Management

01 July 2025

Every ton of municipal solid waste processed in WtE plants contains valuable metals hidden within Incinerator Bottom Ash (IBA). Recovering these metals offers a significant opportunity, with potential revenues reaching up to €30 per ton of waste. Moreover, recycling these materials could prevent 20–30 million tons of CO₂ emissions each year. MADAM (MAgaldi Dry Ash Management) system transforms this process by keeping IBA dry, which enhances recovery rates and preserves the quality of the metals. This innovative approach not only increases market value but also contributes to substantial carbon savings.
