Waste-to-energy — turn what you throw away into power and heat.
Glorinda converts municipal and industrial waste into energy through advanced separation, high-efficiency incineration, biogas, waste-heat recovery and gas-flare recovery — cutting disposal cost and generating power.
Overview
Waste-to-energy — turn what you throw away into power and heat.
Glorinda provides leading-edge waste-separation technology that works with both selected and unsorted municipal waste, altering its molecular structure through a mechanochemical process to make it available for combustion and to stabilise and sanitise it. The plant can operate downstream of shredding and even as a mobile unit.
In high-efficiency incineration, municipal solid waste fuels a turbine or gas engine, and recovered flue gas superheats steam — giving a combined-cycle plant or cogeneration of heat and power. Alongside combustion we deliver biogas, waste-heat recovery and gas-flare recovery.

Our approach
Waste is a fuel with an unusually variable specification
The engineering problem in energy-from-waste is not combustion — it is consistency. Municipal solid waste varies by season, by district and by day, and a plant designed around an average composition will underperform against the real feedstock it receives.
This is why our approach starts upstream of the boiler. Our waste-separation technology works with both sorted and unsorted municipal waste, using a mechanochemical process that alters the molecular structure of the material to make it available for combustion while stabilising and sanitising it. The plant sits downstream of shredding and can even be deployed as a mobile unit.
Downstream, high-efficiency incineration uses that prepared waste as the primary fuel for a turbine or gas engine, with recovered flue gas superheating the steam entering the water turbine — producing a combined-cycle plant or cogeneration of heat and power rather than a simple boiler. Alongside combustion we deliver biogas from the organic fraction, waste-heat recovery and gas-flare recovery, so more than one route out of the waste stream is available.

FAQ
Good to know
What waste can become energy?
Municipal solid waste, industrial organic residues and sludge. Our separation technology handles sorted and unsorted MSW, and high-efficiency incineration or biogas turns it into power and heat.
Is this combined heat and power?
It can be. Municipal solid waste can fuel a turbine or gas engine with recovered flue gas superheating steam, giving combined-cycle power or cogeneration.
