JFE Engineering Corporation has set up the Innovation Centre for Environmental Technology in Singapore to carry out research activities on ‘Development of Enhanced Utilisation Methodologies for Direct Melting Gasification’. This innovation centre is a first-of-its-kind for JFE outside Japan.
The centre will aim to develop advanced waste treatment technologies based on a Research Collaboration Agreement with the Nanyang Technological University (NTU) Singapore using NTU’s upcoming waste-to-energy facility which will feature JFE’s shaft-type gasifying and direct melting furnace.
The main research activities of the centre are: verification of the gasifying and direct melting technology using biomass fuel; exploration and testing of diverse waste treatment; and development and validation of applications for slag produced by the direct melting gasification process.
