Incineration Technology for Municipal and Industrial Waste Described by Way of Executed Projects

The thermal treatment of waste in grate firing systems is a technology for which the experience of many decades is available. Therefore, it is well-developed and assures safely a high degree of availability. These plants can be designed for operational capacities ranging from a few tons up to a through-put of 40 Mg/h. Also the calorific value range which can be handled is wide. From low-calorific wet domestic waste to high-calorific plastics residues.

Inerting and hygienisation of domestic refuse and similar waste materials by means of thermal treatment has a long history. The first plant of this kind on the European continent, for example, became operative in Hamburg in 1896. Since that time the technology has progressed considerably, based on advances in manufacturing and materials. Substantial contributions to this development were delivered by the firms of L & C Steinmüller, Deutsche Babcock Anlagen and Noell KRC, our predecessor companies. Figure 1 is showing a drawing from year 1936 on which a moving grate with combustion chamber and the lower part of the radiation pass are illustrated. The photograph affords a look into a typical design and drawing office at that time.

Combustion and boiler engineering have been improved enormously, especially during the past 15 to 20 years, based on growing knowledge, increased requirements and improved production possibilities. The following is a description of the current state of the art and technology.

In the context of the European Climate Law (EU) 2021/1119), the Governance Regulation (EU) 2018/1999 and the Nature Restoration Regulation (EU) 2024/1991, the KAnG came into force on July 1, 2024.

Transformatives Klimarecht: Raum, Zeit, Gesellschaft

This article contends that climate law should be conceived as inherently transformative in a double sense. The law not only guides the necessary transformation of economy and society, but is itself undergoing transformation.
