Northern Ireland company Kiverco was appointed as a specialist plant provider by the UAE based company Dulsco to supply a material recovery facility (MRF) plant, supporting Dulsco?s vision to transform its waste into reusable and recycled products
Kiverco, a specialist in engineering and manufacturing, was selected by Dulsco, an integrated solutions provider and the official waste management partner for Expo 2020 Dubai, to design, manufacture, install and commission a complete turnkey solution to help divert waste from landfill. The state-of-the-art Material Recovery Facility in Dubai, located at Ras Al Khor, is a recycling processing plant with a capacity of 80,000 tonnes per year and forms a key component of the company?s comprehensive environmental solutions offering.
This project, showcasing Kiverco?s engineering and manufacturing credentials to the world, has helped the company - a leader in the design, build and installation of recycling solutions globally - grow their overseas business by more than 600 per cent in the past year alone.
Waste to Resource
While incorporating partner component technologies, some 90% of Dulsco?s Dubai plant was manufactured at Kiverco?s 36,000 sq ft headquarters and factory in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland.
The waste separation plant is capable of sorting 240 tonnes of multiple waste streams per day. Waste is sorted into different types of dry mixed recycling based on material type before going through various processes, depending on the type of waste. For example, oversized elements are separated from the rest of the feedstock, with the remainder being segregated into different fractions and undersized materials. Product material then runs through a further separation process to recover metals.
David Stockton, CEO of Dulsco, commented, ?At Dulsco, we pride ourselves on only working with the best. As this was a vitally important project for us, it required the right contracting partner. Kiverco has a stellar reputation for the design and build of these types of projects. That, coupled with their excellent support and customer service, made them the perfect choice for helping us achieve operational excellence.?
