NOAH ensures at least seven years of reception capacity for fly ash on Langöya
The BAT plant in Langöya has received a building permit for a chamber filter press and thereby extended its service life, at the same time as investment in recycling solutions is being intensified.
The construction of the chamber filter press is now starting, which provides processing capacity for inorganic hazardous waste until at least 2030 and enables the recycling of fly ash.
"This ensures safe and environmentally friendly treatment and gives us and our partners the long-term opportunity to develop the solutions of the future", says NOAH's CEO Anders Lægreid.
Nordic solution with low climate impact
NOAH is an important part of the Nordic waste management system. A large proportion of Norwegian household waste is sent to Sweden for burning and forms the mainstay of Swedish energy production. The jet gas is then used in the neutralization process and contributes to rehabilitating Langöya in a safe and secure manner.
Restoration of Langöya
The timetable for complete rehabilitation of Langöya follows the original plan.
"The filter press means that we can use dry gypsum product for finishing the island instead of virgin masses. It provides a homogeneous building element and sufficient volume to be able to complete according to the deadline of 2034", says NOAH Solutions CEO, Tove Stuhr Sjöblom, operations manager at Langöya.
85% of the island will be restored as an open air area. The remaining 15% will be developed into a hub for recycling activities under NOAH's auspices.
NOAH continues to develop circular solutions for fly ash
The chamber filter press is central to the recycling technicians that NOAH works with. Development is being intensified in several areas: recovery of pure salts from process water (Resalt), development of cement and concrete products containing fly ash, recovery of CO2 from flue gas (Carbontech) and production of pure gypsum from sulfuric acid.
