ADVANCED PROCESSING OF MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE FOR THE PRODUCTION OF HIGH-GRADE QUALITY FUELS
Due to the ever running short resources and increasing prices for primary energy, alternative fuels are more and more becoming the focus of interest for energy producers and industrial consumers. In Europe, in particular refuse derived fuels have, over the last few years, increasingly gained in importance in the context of co-incineration in industrial combustion plants. Since the end of landfill for organic waste in May 2005, the German waste management industry grew even more interested in producing and commercializing refuse derived fuels. Whilst, in the German cement industry, today already roughly 50% of the fuel requirements are covered by RDF (VDZ, 2005), its use in the area of coal-fired power plants has only just begun.
Refuse derived fuels (RDF) from waste materials are increasingly becoming a focus of interest as an alternative for standard fuels in industrial combustion plants. For this purpose, they have to meet high quality standards. This can be achieved through a combination of state-of-the-art processing technologies and organisational measures of quality control. Using the RDF plant Neuss as an example, process engineering and quality control for the production of premium-class RDF will be explained and convincingly confirmed by results from the practice.

COMPARATIVE EVALUATION OF SRF AND RDF CO-COMBUSTION WITH COAL IN A FLUIDISED BED COMBUSTOR
© IWWG International Waste Working Group (10/2007)
Increasing fossil fuel prices and greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction requirements compels energy users to utilise cost effective materials that also have a significant biomass fraction. The biomass fraction is considered ‘carbon neutral’ and does not contribute towards GHG emissions. The UK, like many Member States, is facing challenging landfill diversion targets for BMW (biodegradable municipal waste) to fulfil the Landfill Directive (Council Directive, 1999) requirements (Garg et al., 2007). According to the latest data, the UK landfilled ca. 62% of total MSW in 2005-06 (Defra, 2006).
Improvement of hazardous waste management in Turkey through introduction of a web-based system for data collection and quality control

The Waste Framework Directive (WASTE FRAMEWORK DIRECTIVE, 2008) specifies certain measures to ensure that waste is recovered or disposed of in accordance with Article 13, i.e. without endangering human health or harming the environment. Specific measures laid down in the WFD include the introduction and common use of appropriate classification systems (LoW: Art. 7; recovery and disposal codes: Annex I and II), the principle of producer responsibility (Art. 14, Art. 15), the issue of permits for waste treatment facilities (Art. 23), the drafting of waste management plans (Art. 28), the requirement that the actors of waste management shall be subject to appropriate periodic inspections (Art 34) and their obligation to keep records on their activities (Art. 35).
Strom- und Fernwärmeversorgung durch Abfallverbrennung
© Thomé-Kozmiensky Verlag GmbH (6/2009)
Der Umgang mit Siedlungsabfall hat sich in den vergangenen zwanzig Jahren grundlegend verändert: wurden Abfälle vormals noch als lästiges Gut unbehandelt auf Deponien abgelagert, werden sie heute sortiert und teilweise gezielt aufbereitet als Ersatzbrennstoff zur Energieerzeugung genutzt und können dort auch fossile Brennstoffe ersetzen. Mit der Veränderung der abfallwirtschaftlichen Rahmenbedingungen, im Wesentlichen durch die TA Siedlungsabfall (TASi) und die Abfallablagerungsverordnung, ist die Ablagerung unbehandelter, organischer, biologisch abbaubarer Siedlungsabfälle nicht mehr zulässig.
Situation und Perspektiven der Abfallwirtschaft in der Schweiz
© Thomé-Kozmiensky Verlag GmbH (6/2009)
Mitte der achtziger Jahre bewirkten erhebliche Missstände eine gemeinsame Anstrengung von Behörden, Umweltorganisationen und Industrieverbänden bei der Definition von Zielen und Strategien der schweizerischen Abfallwirtschaft. Die eidgenössische Abfallwirtschaftskommission publizierte 1986 ein Leitbild für die schweizerische Abfallwirtschaft. Dieses noch aus heutiger Sicht visionäre Papier beeinflusste seither sowohl die Gesetzgebung als auch die öffentliche Haltung zu Abfallfragen sehr stark.
MICROBIAL FUNCTIONAL GROUPS IN A THERMOPHILIC ANAEROBIC SOLID WASTE DIGESTOR REVEALED BY STABLE ISOTOPE PROBING
© IWWG International Waste Working Group (10/2007)
The total production of municipal solid waste (MSW) is continuously increasing. Among the different MSW treatment procedures, anaerobic digestion presents major advantage over alternative methods as a rapid and complete stabilization of the organic waste. It directs the organic flux towards renewable energy source (biogas) and an almost-stabilized residual organic matter fraction. The biogas is collected to minimize the greenhouse effect and can be valorized to heat or to electricity.
