Heat generated during thermal treatment or by reducing the amount of waste and sludge from the treatment plant may be utilized for theproduction of thermal and electrical energy.
The Celje Heating Plant is the first such facility in Slovenia. It was built according to strict EU standards and 70% co-financed by EU resources.
Final Stage in the Treatment of Waste and Sludge
The Celje Heating Plant presents the final stage in the treatment of waste. The waste will be preprocessed and thus made available for use by the Celje Regional Waste Management Centre. In the past, incineration plants were built with the sole intention of eliminating non-processed waste of various types. Today, heating plants allow us to carry out thermal treatment that serves as a source of energy.
The Celje Heating Plant is located on the north-eastern rim of the town of Celje. In the urban planning documentation, its location is identified as an industrial zone.
The surface area of the heating plant measures 2,000m2 while the site of the plant including all the peripheral infrastructure and related machinery covers 1.5 hectares.
