Flexible management for separate treatment of organic and residual waste in one plant at the waste management centre Rhein-Lahn

In the waste management centre AWZ an MBT pant (Final rotting process) is operated and in addition an organic-waste-treatment plant with a biological drying of the oversize grains for the energy recovery in external biomass power plants. Both technologies are operated almost similarly. At the current optimization of the exhaust air situation, the main focus is on flexible adaptability with respect to future changes. The quantities of the residual- and organic waste could be changed in the future by waste management measures and modified regional partnerships. Currently, experiments are made with the aim to investigate, whether a modification of the MBT from composting-process to a purely biological drying process of the mid-calorific fraction is possible and economically useful. Through the reduction of the duration in the intensive rot phase, a tripling of the throughput is conceivable. The energy efficiency of the plants can be improved significantly. Furthermore, the biogenic content of the mid-calorific fraction could be used as a substitute for fossil fuels.
