Problem
Energy-from-waste plants face operational risks and inefficiencies from undetected contaminants and poorly characterized waste streams. Without real-time analysis of incoming material, plants experience equipment damage, unplanned downtime, and suboptimal combustion conditions that reduce profitability and complicate regulatory compliance.
Solution
Wasteer installs high-resolution cameras at bunker gates and uses custom-trained AI to analyze every incoming waste delivery in real time. The system identifies contaminants across nearly all object types and materials—from gas cylinders to machine parts to concrete blocks—configured for each facility's individual requirements. Beyond contaminant detection, it calculates key metrics such as calorific value, biogenic content, waste codes, and emission-relevant risk factors like SO₂ and HCl. Critical findings trigger immediate alerts to operational staff, typically the crane operator, enabling rapid response to prevent damage or downtime. All analyses are automatically documented and securely stored, supporting legal documentation requirements and providing a data foundation for operational decisions.
Target Audience
Primary customers are operators of energy-from-waste plants, waste-to-energy facilities, and associated waste handling operations that need real-time contaminant detection and waste characterization to improve combustion efficiency and operational safety.
Features
