Incineration slag is a valuable building material | | |
| | In the past, slag was only used in civil engineering, mining and for building landfill sites. A new technology can now keep the material in circulation. [more ...] |

Gas from shredder residues | | |
| | The Swiss company Wiederkehr Recycling AG is developing a process for the gasification of shredder residues. The industrial gas recovered is to supply a cement works. The life cycle of a car is always the same. Sooner or later it has to be scrapped and then the recycling industry concerns itself with the question of the recyclability of its various materials. When it comes to shredder residues, this has been by no means a simple matter, but soon they could possibly be used for supplying energy. [more ...] |

Additives for optimal incineration | | |
| | An atomisation system enables operators of waste incineration plants to minimise both the emission of nitrogen oxide (NOx) and the ammonia slip rate. ERC Emissions-Reduzierungs-Concepte GmbH, a company based in Buchholz, in the German state of Lower Saxony, points out this fact. [more ...] |

Cooling from heat | | |
| | The energy efficiency of waste incineration plants has become more important than ever. The production of cooling from heat has now provided an additional reason.
When operators talk about the merits of their waste incineration plants they often like to mention the disposal reliability they guarantee for the particular areas they serve. They can always be relied upon, both in summer and winter. That is one aspect of their work: the other one is unrelated to the pure disposal of waste. And that is when they often start to speak of electricity and district heating. [more ...] |

Working guide for Solid Recovered Fuel | | |
| | A new working guide from the "Gütegemeinschaft Sekundärbrennstoffe und Recyclingholz" (BGS), a German organisation dedicated to achieving the standardisation and greater acceptance of solid recovered fuels throughout Europe, is to help ensure the quality of the high-calorific fractions of solid recovered fuels. The BGS wants to close the gap in this field because until now there have not been any basic standards to safeguard the quality of this type of fuel. [more ...] |

Energetic recycling rigth next door | | |
| | Not in my backyard – is something you will seldom hear from people in Sweden. Even if a waste incineration plant is built more or less right next door to them, hardly anyone is likely to oppose it. [more ...] |

"Waste incineration is a licence to print money" | | |
| | Waste incineration in Europe is becoming increasingly widespread. Whereas in Germany the incineration market is largely saturated and technologies such as mechanical-biological waste treatment are receiving more attention, incineration capacities in Europe will have grown by 13 million tons by 2012. This is the conclusion that Frost & Sullivan came to in a study carried out last year. [more ...] |

SRF plant distinguished for climate protection | | |
| | The solid recovered fuel treatment plant of the Westphalian waste disposal organisation Ecowest has been distinguished for its contribution towards climate protection. This was announced by the Registered Association for Material Specific Waste Treatment (ASA). [more ...] |

THERMAL TREATMENT
District heat: Local sources of energy | | |
| | The additional heat generated by waste incineration plants is often not made sensible use of due to the costs. Waste incineration plants contribute towards protecting both the climate and natural resources and for this reason it is necessary to include them in any promotional measures. [more ...] |
