Material Recovery Facility

Municipal Solid Waste / MRF

Material Recovery Facility (MRF)

Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) refers to mixed waste generated daily by households, commercial, and public facilities. An MSW MRF plant is an intelligent sorting center integrating AI vision recognition, hyperspectral near-infrared sensing, and robotic technology to achieve fully automatic sorting of mixed waste, producing high-purity recyclables (PET/HDPE/paper/metals), high-calorific-value alternative fuel (SRF/RDF), and organic matter. Through data-driven monitoring, sorting strategies are optimized to maximize resource recovery rates and reduce operational costs. This system serves as a "reverse logistics" system, combining mechanical, biological, and chemical methods to convert mixed waste into bio-fertilizer, recycled plastic pellets, and solid recovered fuel (SRF), achieving efficient resource reuse.

SOLUTION

What Can We Do?

Through intelligent sorting technology, we solve the three major problems of complex composition, low manual efficiency, and resource waste, achieving over 60% reduction in waste landfilling. Using AI vision systems for 24/7 automated sorting, we produce high-purity recycled resources such as plastics and metals, reducing labor costs by 40%. Equipped with an intelligent monitoring platform for real-time tracking of recovery data, we help increase urban waste recovery rates to 45%, reducing greenhouse gas emissions by over 100,000 tons annually, providing governments and enterprises with a dual-benefit solution for environmental compliance and circular economy.

PROJECT CASES

Project Cases

Singapore Mixed MSW MBT Project

Location
Singapore
Daily Processing Capacity
600 T/D

The Singapore waste treatment project occupies 1 hectare, processing 600 tons of mixed waste per day, with an investment of 400-500 million RMB. The process flow is: pre-sorting to recover plastics/metals → biological drying (moisture content <30%) → post-sorting to remove inert materials and grade fuel. Supporting deodorization, dust collection, and wastewater treatment systems ensure environmental compliance.

Vietnam Mixed MSW Project

Location
Vietnam
Daily Processing Capacity
1000 T/D

This project's pre-sorting system has a single-line processing capacity of 50 tons per hour. The process aims to screen out undersized materials (primarily organic matter) from the municipal solid waste components for composting, separate metals (for external sale), combustibles (for incineration), and plastic bags, achieving a certain degree of resource utilization while improving the calorific value of furnace feed materials.

Taiwan Yangbao 150 T/D Dry Waste + 150 T/D Wet Waste Project

Location
Taiwan, China
Daily Processing Capacity
300 T/D

The project occupies 1.5 hectares with a total investment of 400 million RMB, processing 300 tons of mixed waste per day. Using a "crushing + multi-stage sorting + drying + fine crushing" process, it separates metals, inorganic materials, and PVC through mechanical sorting and optoelectronic technology, dries and sorts combustibles, ultimately producing SRF fuel. Outputs include ferromagnetic metals, non-ferrous metals, inert materials, PVC, fine sand, low-value combustibles, and finished SRF, transported to power plants for incineration or sold externally.
