Imdaad sets up waste-to-fuel treatment plant in Dubai

Imdaad, a leading integrated facilities management company in the Middle East, has set up an innovative refuse-derived fuel (RDF) plant within its material recovery facility, FARZ, located in the National Industries Park, Dubai.

The advanced RDF plant possesses the capacity to treat 300 tonnes of incombustible and unrecyclable waste and convert it into clean energy suitable for industrial use and manufacturing processes.

This will empower Imdaad and FARZ to divert a significant amount of municipal solid waste from landfills, aligning with the UAE’s larger environmental mission.

Established in 2020, FARZ can treat 1,200 tonnes of waste per day, of which 50% are reclaimed as recyclable valuables. However, the remaining waste refuse is directed to the landfill, said the statement from Imdaad.

With the establishment of the advanced RDF facility at FARZ, the remnants of the recycled waste can now be converted into clean energy to power various industries, it added.

On the significant project, Mahmood Rasheed, Chief Operating Officer, said: "Setting up the RDF plant is a remarkable achievement and an important addition to our waste management capabilities. It empowers us to make a positive impact on the environment by reducing carbon emissions at a time when the world is grappling with the adverse effects
