Use of Solid Recovered Fuels in the Cement Industry
The European Union Directive 2000/76/EC on the Incineration of Waste limits emissions to air, only, however, so far there are still no limits considering the levels of pollutants in the fuels, residues or products themselves when waste fuels are burnt in co-incineration plants. To overcome this shortage, the Guideline for Waste Fuels and the Waste Incineration Directive, which define quality criteria for waste fuels burnt in co-incineration plants, have been issued in Austria. According to this legal framework, waste fuels are waste that is used entirely or to a relevant extent for the purpose of energy generation and which satisfies the quality criteria laid down in the Waste Incineration Directive.
This contribution describes the legal, material, plant and economic developments and properties as well as the quality and quality assurance of Solid Recovered Fuels (SRF) that are increasingly used in a wide range of co-incineration plants. In Austria, the quality criteria for waste fuels burnt in co-incineration plants are defined in the Guideline for Waste Fuels and the Waste Incineration Directive, where limits are given for the heavy metals content which are related to the heating value. The statistics about commercial and industrial amount of waste which is used for manufacturing of SRF, together with the statistics about treatment plants – Mechanical Biological Treatment plant (MBT) – and SRF-application plants – Cement Production Plants (CPP) – as well as the trends on SRF – substitution rates in Austria, Germany, EU 27 and Global are described. Additionally, the challenges of SRF developments and properties in modern waste management and its impacts on the resulting waste quality and waste processing technology are presented by reporting comprehensive examples. Another focus is the description of technical developments that will allow a one hundred percent substitution of primary fuels by secondary fuels produced out of different waste types. Also, the interdependencies between primary and secondary raw material markets and economic relevance by substituting primary material through different waste fuels are discussed on the basis of capacity model. Since first of January 2012, the quality assurance incl. waste information, sampling procedure, analysis etc. in SRF preparation plants (supplier) or cement production plants (user) has to be executed. Based on CEN/ TS-guidelines for SRF as well as national norms (ÖNORM), two common approaches for monitoring of SRF are presented.

Umrüstung der MBA zur erweiterten Ersatzbrennstoffgewinnung
© Wasteconsult International (5/2011)
Durch Umstrukturierung der MBA auf biologische Trocknung des Unterkorns der mechanischen Aufbereitung kann ein trennfähiges (Trocken)Gut erzeugt werden, aus dem mit bekannten Verfahrenstechniken ein regenerativer Brennstoff ausgetrennt werden kann. Rd. 80 % des regenerativen Energiegehaltes im Unterkorn können damit zurückgewonnen werden. Je Tonne MBA-Input kann damit eine zusätzliche Minderung von rd. 250 kg CO2 erreicht werden.
Development of local municipal solid waste management in the Western Transdanubia region of Hungary

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.

Mechanical-Biological Waste Treatment and Utilization of Solid Recovered Fuels – State of the Art
© TK Verlag - Fachverlag für Kreislaufwirtschaft (12/2015)
The EU landfill directive requires a reduction of 65 percent of biodegradable waste which is landfilled (Art. 5). The major problem with organic waste is that it degrades to the greenhouse gas methane in a landfill.
Mechanical-Biological Treatment Plant in Hanover, Germany – Experience in Mechanical Processing, Anaerobic Digestion and Refuse Derived Fuel Quality –
© TK Verlag - Fachverlag für Kreislaufwirtschaft (12/2015)
The Hanover mechanical-biological treatment (MBT) plant can look back on 15 years of operator´s experience. The mechanical treatment facility has been working largely without any issues due to the simple technique and the comfortable redundancy and design. The biological treatment facility faces growing damage due to ageing of materials, which is accelerated by microbiological attack, and corrosive and abrasive ingredients in the residual waste. Comprehensive maintenance, renovation and replacement measures are planned.
