Glorinda’s services
Waste Management
Glorinda engineers incineration and leachate collection and treatment, with energy recovery built into both.
Waste Management
The composition of a waste stream determines how it is treated. Incineration takes solid, hazardous and mixed waste with calorific value. Leachate collection and treatment takes the liquid fraction generated by landfill sites and industrial processes.
Both are delivered as new plants or as upgrades to installations already in service, under EP, EPC or EPCM contracts, with equipment specified from a global supplier network rather than a single manufacturer’s range.
Your solution can be waste management solutions
"The landfill we rely on is running out of space".
What problem does it solve?
An industrial site produces only while a route out for its waste stays open, and that route is licensed, priced and scheduled by a third party. A permit change upstream becomes a production risk, not a procurement one, and regulatory liability stays with the generator either way.
For a landfill, the exposure runs forward instead: a cell keeps producing leachate for decades after its last load. Treating both on site ends that dependency, and leaves a fraction of the volume to dispose of.
Benefits
Rated for hazardous areas
Incinerator packages built for Zone 1 and Zone 2, compatible with gas groups IIA, IIB and IIC.
Disposal cost becomes revenue
A stream that is paid to remove today becomes fuel or biogas feedstock, which changes the payback case for the plant.
One project, not two contracts
Sites that need both incineration and leachate treatment get a single design, with no interface risk between separately engineered plants.
German engineering, local delivery
Engineered from Wiesbaden and delivered through branches across Europe, the Middle East, North Africa and CIS.
How it works
01
Characterisation
Composition, phase, moisture content, calorific value, hazard classification and, for leachate, flow variability across a full seasonal cycle.
02
Route selection
The treatment route is fixed and documented before design work begins, against the characterisation and the constraints of the site.
03
Concept and feasibility
Equipment sizing, emissions and energy modelling, and capital and operating cost comparison across the shortlisted route.
04
Procurement and vendor engagement
Incinerators, membranes, evaporators, digesters, turbines and associated safety systems, sourced through structured RFQ management, bid evaluation and negotiation.
05
Engineering integration
Process, mechanical, electrical, instrumentation and civil interfaces coordinated across all suppliers to a single design basis.
06
Construction, commissioning and support
On-site technical supervision, pre-commissioning, start-up support, operator training and performance verification against the original characterisation.
Sustainability
Diverting material from landfill counts directly toward circular economy and 2030 Agenda targets, without reliance on offsets purchased elsewhere.
Glorinda operates an integrated management system certified to ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001, applied across engineering, procurement and site activities.

Typical usages
- Sludge incineration where dewatering and drying alone do not reduce volume enough
- Waste-derived fuel preparation for cement kilns and industrial boilers
- Mobile separation units where the volume does not justify a fixed installation
- Leachate lagoon drawdown before a cell can be capped
- Sites too remote for bulk chemical deliveries to be practical
- Combined heat and power where a heat user sits next to the plant
Which waste management system suits your needs?
Selecting a process is an engineering decision, not a purchasing one. We run feasibility and pre-feasibility studies, characterise the stream, compare the routes on capital and operating cost, and act as owner’s engineer while somebody else builds it if that suits you better.
Frequently asked questions
At the origin of the liquid. Water circulating through a plant’s own process and utility systems is engineered under water and wastewater treatment. Leachate is scoped here because its composition comes from the waste mass it has passed through rather than from a known production process.
Often, and it is usually the lowest-cost megawatt available on the site. The constraints are the capacity of the existing gas cleaning line, the space available, and whether the plant can accept the outage required to install it.
Larger projects may qualify for Glorinda’s German authority-backed financing framework, covering real-economy infrastructure with a total project value between €20 million and €350 million. Eligibility is assessed during project development.
Bottom ash is collected through a dedicated ash handling system. Flue gas and particulates are cleaned and, where the permit requires it, continuously monitored before release through our analyzer and metering line.
