Energy Recovery • Steam turbine generator: Rated output of 50 MVA with an estimated 30 MW exported to the national grid after meeting plant 
power requirements
Composting • Incoming waste: organic fraction from Dano Drums®
• Anaerobic fermentation: 5 lines of three thermophillic fermenter tanks followed by dewatering in centrifuges
• Gas engine/generators: Gas engines utilising methane gas generated from fermenters producing 8 MW
• Aerobic treatment: Post maturation of dewatered material from fermenters in windrows with turning equipment
• Odour control: foul air collection and treatment in biofilter system
• Compost storage and bagging
Landfill • Engineered landfill with composite liner system and leachate collection system to accept treated incinerator bottom ash 
and stabilised fly ash plus street sweepings (arrive separately at the plant)

Domestic Solid Waste Management Centre
at a glance
Keppel Seghers, the environmental engineering
arm of Keppel Infrastructure, was awarded two
contracts by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs
and Agriculture in Qatar (now known as Ministry
of Municipality and Urban Planning) to design
and build four Waste Transfer Stations and one
Integrated Domestic Solid Waste Management
Centre (DSWMC), and to operate and maintain
the DSWMC for 20 years.
Since October 2011, Keppel Seghers has
formally handed over the DSWMC to its clients
and has commenced the Operations and
Maintenance phase of this large Design-Build-
Operate (DBO) project with excellent operational
and safety record.
The 300 ha modern DSWMC facility is located
near Mesaieed, and is designed to treat up to
2,300 tonnes of mixed domestic solid waste
per day, serving the waste treatment needs for
The rise of Qatar has been one of the most remarkable developments in the recent history of the Middle East. The gas-rich
Gulf state entered a new era of modernisation over the last two decades and rapidly became a country with a modern and
well-developed infrastructure. The DSWMC serves the waste treatment needs for the whole of Qatar, and is designed to
treat up to 2,300 tonnes of mixed domestic solid waste per day.

Benefits of Keppel Seghers’ integrated waste
management system:
• Maximum recovery of recyclable materials
• Maximum energy recovery in
refuse-derived fuel
• Maximisation of landfill diversion rate
• Minimal community impacts by
state-of-the-art environmental controls
Flue gases from the waste incineration are cleaned with
the removal of acidic components and metals through
neutralisation with hydrated lime and absorption by
activated carbon to ensure compliance with stringent
emission standards.
Harnessing
technological
synergies
The strength of an integrated waste management
concept is the combination of several
technologies in one installation. The combination
of pre-processing, mechanical and organic
recycling and power-generating technologies
offers synergy which would be unattainable if
each technology was employed individually.
This synergy leads to more energy and material
recovery, and a maximum landfill diversion of
up to 95 percent.
Incinerator bottom ash (IBA) produced during incineration
is processed at the IBA Treatment Plant to standardise the
material and remove contaminants. The treatment plant is
equipped with magnetic separators that separate ferrous
metals from the IBA which are sent for recycling as well as
screening and sieving.
An integrated
waste management
system
A key feature of an integrated waste
management system would be the
pre-processing of waste received. Through
pre-processing, materials suited for processes
such as recycling and energy recovery through
WTE technology are separated and transferred
to their respective processing lines. This
allows each process to achieve the highest
performance, and obtain the maximum value
out of e
 ach waste fraction.
The organic fraction is further decomposed by aerobic
microorganisms in the Aerobic Composting Hall. Active
composting generates heat and releases carbon dioxide
and water vapour into the air, thereby reducing the volume
and mass of the final product.
