Siveco was awarded a contract in Taiwan by SITA Waste Services (), the operator of the Renwu Waste Incinerator in Kaohsiung. The project covers the implementation of a maintenance management system, with a step-back-step implementation approach aimed at promoting maintenance improvement at the plant, through a progressive structuring of the maintenance activity towards systematic analysis and preventive maintenance.

The facility is designed to incinerate 1,350 tonnes each day of blended non-hazardous combustible solid waste with a weighted-average heating value of 2,300 kcal/kg. The energy generated is converted to a total of 33 MW of electricity. The plant is owned by the Kaohsiung County Government and operated by SITA Waste Services under a 20 year contract. Since December 2000, the facility is managed by a high-caliber crew trained by SITA for the purpose of maximizing energy efficiency and meeting the most stringent environmental protection standards in the world. SITA Waste Services is a subsidiary of SUEZ ENVIRONNEMENT, world leader exclusively dedicated to water and waste management services, with over 65,000 employees.

The choice of Siveco was based on the company' successful experience at another SITA facility located in mainland China. SITA, in joint venture with the Shanghai Chemical Industry Park (SCIP), has designed, built and operates a 60,000t/year hazardous waste incineration plant near Shanghai. It is the reference plant for China both in terms of size (the highest throughput capacity to date) and technology. EU emission standards are being followed. Read the SCIP SITA case study here.
