Turning Waste Into Efficiency:
Advanced Heat and Emissions Control Systems

Tailored rotary gas heater solutions for SCR and FGD

Durable heat exchange systems for flue gas applications

The Waste-to-Energy (WtE) sector plays a vital role in the circular economy—converting municipal and industrial waste into renewable energy. But it also faces complex operational challenges: highly variable flue-gas streams, acid-gas formation, and strict emissions limits.

LJUNGSTRÖM helps WtE and biomass facilities turn those challenges into efficiency gains through integrated heat-exchange, flue-gas treatment, and carbon-capture technologies engineered for long-term reliability and compliance.

Engineered for Cleaner,
Smarter Energy

Waste Heat Recovery

Recover more from every ton of waste. Our compact regenerative heat exchangers capture thermal energy from dirty flue-gas streams and transfer it back into plant processes—improving overall cycle efficiency and reducing auxiliary steam consumption.

Boost boiler efficiency and
district-heating output.

Reduce stack losses through
high-efficient gas-to-gas heat recovery.

Advanced Flue-Gas Treatment

At the heart of every WtE plant is effective flue-gas conditioning. LJUNGSTRÖM’s systems integrate waste heat recovery, and SOₓ reduction into one optimized solution.

SBS/LBS Injection™
reduces SO₃ and acid-gases

AQCS and DeNOₓ Systems

Our Air Quality Control Systems (AQCS) are tailored for biomass, RDF, and mixed-waste combustion. We deliver systems that achieve stringent environmental compliance while maintaining uptime.

SOₓ, HCl, and HF control through precise
injection and temperature conditioning.

Carbon Capture
Integration

Prepare your WtE operation for the next phase of decarbonization. LJUNGSTRÖM’s flue-gas pre-cooling, polish, and compact CO₂ Wheel® systems create a ready interface for carbon-capture units—enabling both carbon-neutral and BECCS (Bio-Energy with Carbon Capture and Storage) applications.

Stable inlet conditions for amine, membrane, or cryogenic capture.

Modular pre-treat skids for retrofit and new-build carbon capture. 
Integrated energy recovery
for lower parasitic load.
