Description:
The post-sorting facility, commissioned in 2019, suffered extensive damage due to a large fire in 2022. The affected area includes the reception hall, sorting hall, and technical wing over four floors, along with adjoining technical rooms and storage spaces. Equipped with NIR technology, the facility sorted residual waste and source-sorted paper waste into various categories. It comprised reception and sorting halls, stores for sorted materials, a washing/extruder hall, administration area, technical rooms, and equipment for Forus Energy Recovery.
Reconstruction Plan:
- Building Renovation: The facility will be renovated within the existing building. The reconstruction primarily focuses on replacing damaged areas and installing new equipment.
- Scope of Work: The reconstruction includes rebuilding the reception and sorting halls, technical wing, and adjoining rooms. The facility may prioritize sorting residue waste, with reduced emphasis on plastic fractions. The location for post-sorting source-sorted paper is yet to be determined.
- Safety Measures: Inergen extinguishing agents used during the fire will be replaced with water-based systems. The reconstruction will incorporate enhanced fire safety installations and coordination with all disciplines.
- Project Management: Coordination with stakeholders, consultants, and experts is critical. A fire consultant will be engaged to ensure compliance with safety standards and regulations.

Description:
The new biomass fired combined heat and power plant is to be built in Berlin with a thermal production capacity of approximately 210 MWth and an electrical capacity of approximately 50 MWel. The plant shall be designed and permitted according to the waste incineration emission law (17th BImschV). The plant shall be operated via an existing control room. The emissions of the plant shall meet the lowest BREF limits. The contractor is responsible for the conceptual design, engineering, purchasing, construction & commissioning of its scope.
Project Dates:
Following this concept, the contract is split into 2 phases: 1) The Liminted Notice to Proceed (LNTP), planned for 2025 and 2) The Final Notice to Proceed (FNTP), planned to begin in 2026. With the LNTP the contractor finalizes the design and permit engineering. With the final issue of the permit approval, the Contractor receives the FNTP. With the FNTP the “execution phase” begins. This phase is consisting of detail engineering, procurement, construction, commissioning and handover of the biomass plant. The commissioning of the biomass plant is currently scheduled for 2029.
