The City of Arapongas, in Paraná, Will Receive a New Urban Waste Processing Plant That Will Transform Waste into Energy

A new urban waste processing plant, through the thermal conversion process of waste by anaerobic pyrolysis, for the production of electric energy will be installed in the city of Arapongas, in the state of Paraná. The investment will be R$ 100 million and the land will be in the municipality, along the PR-444 highway. The capacity of the plant is expected to be 500 tons/day, and it is possible that other cities in the region, if interested, will also participate in the project.

The Installation of the Plant in Arapongas, Paraná

In a meeting held in Londrina, the mayor of Arapongas and president of the Association of Municipalities of Médio Paranapanema (Amepar), Sérgio Onofre, announced that the bureaucratic stage for the installation of the plant is almost completed. “We already have the environmental licenses and the state government’s approval. Everything is practically ready for the start of the implementation of what will be the first plant of its kind in Paraná,” said the mayor.

The municipal secretary of Industry, Commerce, and Tourism, Nilson Violato, stated that the expectation is for the construction of the plant to begin this year. “The plant is part of our proposal for the Technological Park of Renewable Energy and Emerging Technologies,” emphasized Violato.

The Process of Transforming Waste into Electric Energy

Technically, pyrolysis is the molecular breakdown/recombination by heating in an oxidation-free environment. Among others, this modern technological process ensures the following advantages: patented technology, modular and flexible system (meets various waste processing capacities).

The plant does not generate harmful gases to health and the environment, allows for adapting the project to demand and investment capability – flexibility, easy maintenance, high reliability, helps in the elimination and recovery of dump and landfill areas, and can be adjusted to the specific needs of the client regarding the production of syngas or pyrolytic oil. According to the mayor, the group that will install the plant in the Paraná city is from the state of São Paulo.

A project that has generated energy using Biogas for over 15 years in Western Paraná has just taken another essential step in terms of innovation in operation and technology for decentralized energy generation, known as distributed generation (DG). Through an agreement between the Itaipu plant and Copel, which will take effect this week, Granja Colombari, in São Miguel do Iguaçu, will form a microgrid to supply its property and other neighboring units, increasing energy security in the rural area.

With the implementation of the microgrid in Paraná, in the event of a failure in the Copel energy distribution system, the generating unit will automatically isolate itself from the system and can supply energy to the area during the contingency period. A regional islanding operation test was conducted two weeks ago, as a result of three years of hard work, made possible through an intention protocol established between Copel and the Itaipu plant in Paraná.
