    In waste treatment, the priorities include achieving stable reduction of waste volume and lowering the environmental impact. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Environmental & Chemical Engineering Co., Ltd. (MHIEC) has developed a new stoker-type waste incinerator by improving and sophisticating the conventional one under the concept of realizing stable volume reduction of waste with wide-ranging properties and contributing to lowering the environmental load. In January 2021, our first delivery of the new unit was made to Xiaogan City, Hubei Province, China. It has started commercial operation. This report summarizes this improved stoker-type waste incinerator and presents how it has been operated thus far.
