Adaption of a German MBT Process to the Boundary Conditions of Newly Industrialized Countries - Results of a pilot plant operated in Thailand
A mechanical biological treatment (MBT) process for municipal solid waste (MSW), suitable for the boundary conditions of newly industrialized countries (NIC), was developed and tested in Thailand. The main purpose was to make the process simple, robust and economic. The process focuses on the production of refuse-derived fuel (RDF) and a high biogas yield. The so-called BIOBUNK pilot plant consists of a shredder as mechanical stage and an aerobic mixed reactor as biological stage.
The plant was operated with a daily MSW capacity of 2-2.5 Mg. An average retention time in the BIOBUNK reactor of less then 1.4 days was achieved. Biological self-drying tests of the solid output material operated with a high performance. Within seven days, a dry mass content of up to 86 % could be reached. The process produced around 400 kg RDF per Mg of input. The lower calorific value of this RDF ranges from 14-16 MJ/kg with a chlorine concentration clearly below 0.5 %. Thus, it presents an optimal alternative fuel, e.g. for the cement industry. The produced waste water has a chemical oxygen demand (COD) of 30,000 mg/L with a sufficient content of the nutrients nitrogen and phosphate. The biogas potential is estimated up to 40-50 Nm³ per Mg of input.

Hungarian municipal solid wastes (MSW) management has developed tremendously over the past 15 years. More than 3,000 landfills and dumps had been closed, just to mention one improvement. However, still, lots of work is necessary to accomplish the EU’s ambitious aim of decreasing landfilling and increasing recycling and composting.
Study on the Suitability of the Different Waste-Derived Fuels for End-of-Waste Status in Accordance with Article 6 of the Waste Framework Directive - Second Interim Report

The objective of this study is to provide detailed information and analyses to the European Commission on all the relevant aspects needed for proposing the end-of-waste status of fuels derived from waste. It analyses the suitability of different waste-derived fuels (WDFs) for obtaining the end-of-waste status in accordance with the requirements set out in Article 6 (1) of the Waste Framework Directive.
