Wheelabrator's Capabilities
Pioneering Clean Energy Production
Wheelabrator’s waste-to-energy facilities are engineered to meet specific customer needs and performance criteria. Several of our plants adjoin modern landfill operations and material recovery (recycling) facilities, optimizing trash delivery, recycling, disposal, energy production and ash residue management in one location.
Our 60-megawatt Wheelabrator Baltimore facility sits on a small in-city site, where it supplies electricity to the local utility and also co-generates steam for a downtown heating and cooling loop. The Wheelabrator Falls Township facility was the first waste-to-energy plant developed with a materials recovery facility integrated into the development plan and located on the same site. Both facilities are proven examples of Wheelabrator’s business innovation.
Wheelabrator has a tradition of working closely with public and private entities to develop technically viable, financially sound, long-term waste-to-energy and independent power projects meeting challenging customer needs.
We are experienced in fully addressing local, state and federal regulatory requirements and in meeting difficult engineering and infrastructure needs. And we hold the industry’s longest and most successful history of cost-effective, long-term waste-to-energy projects.
