Turnkey plants for energy recovery from waste
CNIM provides turnkey waste-to-energy conversion plants, for use either by local authorities or designated operators. The plants are able to turn this waste into electricity, heating for urban areas, or steam for industrial processes and air conditioning, among other applications. CNIM guarantees the energy performance of its equipment, which meets the strictest environmental standards. As a specialized European provider with a well-established portfolio of proprietary technology, CNIM’s solutions have been successfully deployed around the world for more than 60 years.
CNIM’s expertise in the construction of turnkey plants lies in its technological mastery of processes and in its ability to manage, within the deadlines and from a technical and contractual point of view, the thousands of interfaces with the stakeholders of a project. The proof of this is that the 17 plants delivered over the last ten years provide excellent performance on a daily basis.

CNIM’s services are a guarantee of optimum environmental performance and profitability for the installed equipment.
Operation and maintenance of waste treatment plants
CNIM has been operating energy-from-waste conversion plants of its own design, along with those of other providers, for more than 50 years. CNIM works on all types of energy recovery and treatment of flue gases. More recently, this activity has been extended to include areas such as organic waste recovery and renewable energy. The technology used for the maintenance of such equipment makes it possible to reduce the operating costs of the plants and enables CNIM to maintain the public service mission of its clients.
CNIM supports its clients over the long term in the management of domestic waste. The Group is able to intervene at every stage of a project – from design, financing, installation and operation to maintenance.
Along with the supply of waste-to-energy conversion centers, CNIM also supports its clients with recycling and organic resource recovery, including material such as green algae. The Group provides facilities for waste sorting and recycling, compost production and mechanical-biological treatment to reduce residual waste.
CNIM designs and operates systems for the treatment of hospital waste, which includes items that carry the risk of infection, along with sludge from water treatment plants. CNIM has wide-ranging expertise in all the processes involved in the treatment and recovery of these hazardous types of waste, all of which is carried out according to the strictest regulations. Whatever its nature, the material collected is integrated with the recycling of domestic waste, in order to optimize the cost of treatment.
The advantage of Sterilwave is associated with the use of microwave technology in comparison with the solutions for the treatment of infectious waste by autoclave, which are much more restrictive in terms of installation and of operating costs.
