Dry Incinerator Bottom Ash (IBA) handling and valorization
The Magaldi Ecobelt® WA conveyor system is designed to extract, cool, and transport IBA using a fully dry approach, based on the use of a stream of ambient air as the primary cooling medium instead of water.
By combining the dependable Superbelt® conveying technology with the dry cooling process, the Ecobelt® WA overcomes the limitations of conventional wet ash extractors and provides significant advantages, including utmost dependability, zero water usage, no dust or gas dispersion during transportation, and reduced Total Organic Carbon (TOC) due to afterburning on the belt.
Discharging the IBA in a dry fashion also enables an increased recovery of metals during the IBA treatment process, which improves the quality of the IBA aggregates for further utilization purposes.

Dry IBA valorization in the MADAM system can take place on-site at the WtE plant or at a centralized IBA treatment plant to serve multiple incineration plants.
Compared to other treatment approaches, dry IBA treatment provides several key benefits, such as:
- Increased metal recovery
- Increased revenue
- Greater ecological savings
- Wider range of design possibilities compared to wet treatment technologies
- Dust-free environment
- Reduced labour
