Hitachi Zosen Corporation has received its first ever order for an Energy-from-Waste Plant (stoker type waste incinerator: 600t/day, power output: 18,000kWh) for Malaysia from Cypark Sdn. Bhd. (hereinafter known as Cypark), a company specializing in waste management, renewable energy and other environmental projects in Malaysia.

The federal government of Malaysia has commissioned Cypark to construct and operate an integrated waste management facility consisting of an energy-from-waste plant, a sanitary landfill site and other components through a PPP (Public Private Partnership) scheme at Tanah Merah in the district of Port Dickson, Negeri Sembilan, and Hitachi Zosen has established a consortium with local partner KNM Process Systems Sdn Bhd, to construct and operate the energy-from-waste plant.
Municipal solid waste volume is increasing in line with economic development in Malaysia, and the open-air storage and illegal dumping of refuse, etc., are burgeoning problems. The federal government therefore examined ways of reforming urban waste management and adopting renewable energy in its 10th Five-Year Plan (2011 to 2015). The current project was commissioned as a part of this plan and represents the country's efforts to move ahead with the formulation of a recycling-based society.
The plant in question will hygienically and safely incinerate the city's refuse, with facilities which can generate up to 18,000kWh of electricity to contribute to the nation's heightened demand for energy.

The Hitachi Zosen Group has so far received more than 830 orders for world-leading energy-from-waste plants, mostly from Japan, Asia and Europe. This includes twelve in mainland China, five in Taiwan and eight in South Korea in the Asia area, and we also received an order for the construction of an energy-from-waste plant for India in April of last year, which represents the first order of its kind received by a Japanese company. With regard to Southeast Asia, the company also implemented a verification project for an energy-from-waste plant in Vietnam, and we are actively involving ourselves in the field of energy-from-waste plants in anticipation of future increases in demand from overseas.

An outline of the project is shown below:
1. Client: Cypark Sdn. Bhd.
2. Project Name: SMART WTE Project
3. Facility Scale: Stoker type waste incinerator: 600t/day of processed waste (600t/day x 1 incinerator), power output: 18,000kWh
