Cegelec Fire Solutions helps with the reconstruction of AVR Rozenburg

AVR Rozenburg specialises in processing residual waste, which it converts into energy and raw materials for households and businesses. AVR aims to create a clean world, where everything is used completely. AVR supplies electricity to the grid, steam to businesses, and city heat to approximately 160,000 households.

A devastating fire on its site caused enormous damage in 2023, particularly in the energy plant. It meant that the supply of steam and electricity was out of action for a long time.

AVR selected Cegelec Fire Solutions for the reconstruction project, where securing the complex waste bunker and safety were paramount. Cegelec Fire Solutions designed and installed a certified foam extinguishing system in the household waste bunker and the domestic fuel oil (HBO) tanks. The system comprises a pump room with 4 automatic foam generators.

In 2024, AVR was able to commission the larger part of the plant and has resumed converting residual waste into electricity and steam.
