The implementation of MBT technology

   Strong increase of waste rates since the 1980’s
   Environmental damage by leachate and outgasing of methangas
   Waste experts recognised problems caused by waste disposal and landfilling
   1993 fixed the Upper House of the German Parliament the pre-treatment of
    biodegradable waste by means of incineration in the Technical Instructions on Waste
    (TASi)
   German federal state Lower Saxony promoted 1989/1990 first basic studies to the MBT
    technology
   Center of the 1990’s encouragement and realisation of three industrial MBT plants with
    different technical concepts, technical and scientific steering of these research projects
   Examination of the equivalence of waste incineration and MBT with further research
    projects:
                 1995 -1999 collaborative project founded by German Ministry of
                           Education and Research
                 1998 North Rhine-Westfalian manual for the MBT technology
The implementation of MBT technology

Result of the Federal Ministry of environment to August 20, 1999:
                    Waste incineration and MBT technology are alike to evaluate

    1999 - 2001 scientifically/technically and politically motivated controversy over the justifiable
                                           standard of MBA plants

    Controversy phase ended then with the deposit regulation and the 30th Federal Immission
     Control Regulation (“30. BImschV”).
     MBT technology had achieved a legal requirement equilibrium in the comparison to waste
     incineration. But was it also practicable?

     High legal demands are made against the MBT technology, which were not determined by
                        practical experiences and/or by industrial MBT plants
The implementation of MBT technology

                       Challenges to the MBT operators
    Investment security starting from 2001 = four years for a new technology

                                         Road Map

March 2001            2002               2003                2004                 June 2005

         Political decisions with the publicly legal carriers had to be caused

     Bidding of the planning services, process engineering and equipment technology according
     to that assignment-legally regulations

                       Licensing procedure (at least: 6 to 7 month)

                   Execution phase/building phase: (1.5 to 2 years)
                   Further problems by insolvencies
The implementation of MBT technology

   Reasons for the decision for the MBT technology

   Existing TASi landfills could further be used in connection with the MBT plants as
    well as further use of infrastructure

   Waste incineration was not often achievable against the resistance of the
    population

   Allegedly more favourable solution/smaller invest than with waste incineration

   Creation and/or protection of jobs by an own design capacity

   Creation of value remains in the region (orders to medium-size-companies)

   Good combination in connection with mono stream power plants or cement works
    or coal-fired power stations

   Saving of fossil fuels by the employment of Solid Recovered Fuels (SRF) in (mono
    stream) power stations and thus CO2 saving

   Energy and fuel supplier for producing trade

MBT = Mechanical-Biological Treatment (30 plants)
Is a combination out
      the mechanical processing with separation of high calorific fractions (to
      be used as RDF) as well as the valuable material for material recycling
and
      the biological treatment (decomposition, digestion) of the fine fraction
      for the reaching of the deposit criteria
.

MBS = Mechanical-Biological Stabilisation (13 plants)
      the entire waste stream is dried before the mechanical processing
      biologically (under use of the self heating) and reduced by the organic
      components

MPS = Mechanical-Physical Stabilisation (3 plants)
      mechanical processing with following drying process (e. g. by means of
      drum dryer), here fossil fuels for the drying process are used

      10 weeks). The total treatment takes 10 to 15 weeks

Biological treatment
   Digestion (anaerobic treatment), dry digestion
    Dry digestion can be designed as a partial or full stream process with inoculation and turning. Full stream
    digestion requires a post dewatering. Afterwards the material is treated in post decom-position for the
    storage or in a landfill. The treatment period in a dry digestion needs three weeks
   Gas production rate 90 - 120 m3/ton waste
   Use of the fermentation gas over block heating station
    or processing of the gas
State of MBT technology in Germany

MBT – Mechanical-Biological Treatment

Biological treatment
   Digestion (anaerobic treatment), wet digestion
    At first the material is wet-mechanically prepared then transferred in the two-step full-stream digestion
    which is followed by the wet-aerobic stabilisation through dewatering and thermal drying. The treatment
    period in the wet digestion needs 3 weeks, the aerobic stabilisation additional 5 days.

Deposit
   Stabilised waste is deposited on landfills of the German class II
   Avoidance of setting and landfill gas formation
   Compression of the MBA output to approx. 1.3 ton/cbm
   Avoidance as well as reduction of landfill leachate
Thus future generations no longstanding pollution is left!

Aspects of energy with MBT

Supply and use of Refuse Derived Fuels (RDF)

   Component for the protection of disposal security

   Increasing meaning against the background rising markets for secondary raw
    materials

   Larger independence from the rising energy costs

   Contribution for the reduction of the CO2 emissions and thus to climate protection
MBT as a raw material and fuel supplier

Supply and use of RDF

   Range of the treatment depends on

    -   The whereabouts and use of the removed fractions

    -   The respective quality requirements of the customers

    -   Quality assurance necessary

   Two groups from RDF to differentiate:

    - High Calorific Fractions (HCF)

    - Solid Recovered Fuels (SRF)
MBT as a raw material and fuel supplier

 High Calorific Fraction (HCF)
  - From wastes separated components and/or fractions, which exhibit clearly higher
    net calorific values due to their composition and characteristics than the original
    waste mixture (approx. 11 to 15 MJ/kg )
  - E. g. HCF from MBT or commercial/industrial waste sorting plants
  - Smaller treatment depth, e. g. rougher grain size
  - Use in mono stream power plants

   from MSW > 100 mm             from commercial/industrial    from bulky waste > 60 mm
                                      waste > 150 mm

Result energy balance/energy efficiency
   The energy efficiency of the MBT, MBS and MPS plants is considerably determined
    of the energy efficiency of the plants for the energy recycling and of the amount of
    high calorific components in the waste
   During optimised energetic recycling higher energy efficiency can be achieved with
    MBT concepts opposite waste incineration plants
   The digestion of the fine fraction can make a significant contribution with higher gas
    yields for the improvement of the energy efficiency

Development and perspectives of the MBT technology
   MBT/MBS/MPS actually permit a flexible adjustment in case of changing basic conditions
    (market, proceeds, raw material costs, laws)
   Optimisation of the plant concepts depends on the material, raw material and energetic
    recycling
      Increased selection of metals (Fe/non-ferrous)
      Sorting of plastics
      Separation of wood/biomass
      Separation of contraries/pollutants (chlorine-lower, e. g. by NIR technology)
