The city of Arapongas, in Paraná, will receive a new urban waste processing plant, which will transform waste into energy
A new urban waste processing plant, through the process of thermal conversion of waste by anaerobic pyrolysis, for the production of electricity 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, on the banks of the PR-444. The capacity of the plant should be 500 tons/day, it is possible that other cities in the region, if interested, also participate in the project.

Installation of the plant in Arapongas, in the state of Paraná
In a meeting held in Londrina, the mayor of Arapongas and president of the Association of Municipalities of the Middle Paranapanema (Amepar), Sérgio Onofre, announced that the entire bureaucratic stage for the installation of the plant has already been completed. “We already have the environmental licenses and the Ok from the state government. Practically everything is ready for the beginning of the implementation of what will be the first plant with this profile in Paraná”, said the mayor.
The municipal secretary of Industry, Commerce and Tourism, Nilson Violato, said that the forecast is that the construction of the plant will start later this year. “The plant is part of our proposal for the Technological Park of Renewable Energy and Emerging Technologies”, stressed Violato.

The process of turning waste into electricity
Technically, pyrolysis is molecular rupture/recombination by heating in an environment without oxidation. Among others, this modern technological process ensures the following advantages: patented technology, modular and flexible system (meets the most varied waste processing capacities).
The plant does not generate gases that are harmful to health and the environment, allows adapting the project to demand and investment capacity - flexibility, easy maintenance, high reliability, helps in the elimination and recovery of dump and landfill areas and can be adjusted to the specific need of the customer with regard to the production of syngás or pyrolytic oil. Still according to the mayor, the group that will install the plant in the city of Paraná is from the state of São Paulo.

A project that has been generating energy using biogas for over 15 years in western Paraná has just taken another essential step in terms of operational and technological innovation for decentralized energy generation, known as distributed generation (GD). Through an agreement between the Itaipu plant and Copel, which will come into force this week, Granja Colombari, in Sao Miguel do Iguaçu, will form a micro supply grid for your property and other neighboring units, increasing energy security in the Field.
With the implementation of the microgrid in Paraná, in the event of a failure in Copel's energy distribution system, the generating unit will automatically isolate itself from the system and will be able to supply energy to the area during the contingency period. Two weeks ago, an islanding operation test was carried out in the region, as a result of three years of hard work, made possible through a protocol of intentions closed between Copel and the Itaipu plant in Paraná.
