In this building, which is a part of Värtaverkets new biofuel cogeneration plant, ash from the boiler is processed. It is transported to the two silos (one for fly-ash and the other for bottom-ash) via conveyor belts and an elevator located in the adjacent Sift and Crush building. The processed waste is transferred to train or truck below the silos.
The access portals have been made extra high in order to accentuate the movement through the building. Its expressive steel construction is kept in the same orange color as other parts of the energy complex. This construction can be glimpsed through the Linit channel-glass openings in the façade. The metal façade keeps the same gray scale as other buildings in the area. Towards the water a smaller building contains support functions including storage and a compressor. The crane that transfers material to the pier can be serviced from the roof
