The facility is seen as a lighthouse project for GHG mitigation. |
| Role of MBT in increasing the number of composting facilities in Iran Dr Nader Mokhtarani, Jahesh Kimia Company Manigeh Khaleghi Sarnamy, Babak Mokhtarani In I.R. Iran with respect to 0.64 Kg/Cap.day garbage, near 48,000 ton of solid waste is produced daily. Regarding to high percentage of biodegradable material in this waste, production of 10,000 ton/day of fine compost is possible. At this time, only 15 active composting plants are available in Iran and if all of them act with nominal capacity, only 12% of the total produced municipal solid waste will be processed and reminder will be disposed with the other methods. |
| Practice of Waste Management in the Arab Region Dr.-Ing. Abdallah Nassour, Mohamad Al-Ahmad, Ayman El Naas Almost in all Arab countries general waste management concepts are still in the initial stage. Partly suitable laws were passed and some administrative structures have been established, but technical implementation, management, monitoring and financing of appropriate waste management systems are still considered to be a major challenge. |

| MBT/MRF state of art and possible development in Norway M.Sc. Frode Syversen Norway has implemented a modern waste management system in compliance with European directives. But there is potential for improvements. In 2010 the amount of mixed household waste disposed via landfilling amounted to about 5-6% of waste generated, due to a new landfill ban for waste containing 10% TOC or more. Source separation, recycling, biological treatment and incineration are common solutions. MBT facilities are not a part of the system so far. |

Also different logistical alternatives for the collection of recyclable materials, drop-off systems or curbside collection of biowaste, as well as the production of Refuse Derived Fuels are discussed. |
| Municipal Solid Waste Management Policies and Problems in Naples Head of the Italian Trust Fund Stefania Romano Waste management is gaining importance in today’s decision-makers’ agenda; the effectiveness of political actions on waste management directly affects the daily life of citizens, who are more and more sensitive to how waste plans are implemented and waste processes take place. Over the last decades waste started to be associated with management because of the need for plans and methodologies for its disposal; a procedure which requires specific and well-tailored policies. |
| Maximum utilisation of municipal solid waste with the efficient Maximum Yield Technology system Dr.rer.nat. Georg Person, Dipl.-Ing. Matthias Schreiber Against the background of increasingly scarce raw materials, the use of alternative resources is becoming ever more important. In this context, municipal solid waste is also gaining in importance as a resource. |
| Preparation of biological waste and municipal solid waste using the VMpress Karl Dirkes Municipal waste has always been considered a problem, something that no one wants to see, something to be removed and hidden as soon as possible. However, the mixed fraction of municipal solid waste (MSW), the materials that remain after separate collection of the recyclable components of urban waste, still contains large quantities of energy. |
| Current Status and Prospects of Mechanical-Biological Treatment in Germany Thomas Grundmann, Dipl.-Ing. Michael Balhar A total of around 25 % of urban wastes is pretreated by means of MBT technology (MBT = Mechanical-Biological Waste Treatment) in Germany. This technology is based on a material stream specific waste treatment. It means that the material properties of residual wastes - which are varying to a large extent - determine the selection and specification of treatment steps. |
| The impact of increased differientiate collection on existing MBT plant and possible upgrading scenarios: the experiences of a central Italy plant Prof-Ing. Francesco Di Maria, Dr. Moreno Marionni The management and the production of MSW has been interested by many changes, during the last twenty years, mainly related to the new policy strategies in recycling and recovering. A large part of the Italian existing MBT facilities operates since the 1990, designed when the waste quality and quantity were quite different from the current one. |

Burkart Schulte The Waste Management Center Pohlsche-Heide is responsible for the management of the waste generated from the 330,000 inhabitants and the commercial waste at the district of Minden-Lübbecke. This district is located in the east – north end of the state North Rhine-Westphalia. |
| Treatment of Municipal Solid Waste before Anaerobic Digestion - CAPEX and OPEX as model calculation Dr.-Ing. Michael Langen Treatment of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) before Anaerobic Digestion (AD) is highly considerable in terms of capital expenditure (CAPEX) and operational expenditure (OPEX). The paper determines different treatment options like “Standard” and “AdvancedBioSolids” and characterizes the treatment options. The “Standard“ option is relatively simple and comprises only few process steps. The “AdvancedBioSolids” option is more complex and refines the biosolid fraction by sorting of inorganic items and other non-digestibles in a multi-stage dry refining process. |

| Adaption of a German MBT Process to the Boundary Conditions of Newly Industrialized Countries - Results of a pilot plant operated in Thailand Sebastian Platz, Dr.-Ing. Uwe Menzel, Dipl.-Ing. Martin Schaub, Dr. Jochen Amrehn 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.
