Best Available Techniques (BAT) for Mechanical-Biological Waste Treatment Plants

The European BREF documents (Best Available Technique Reference Documents) describe the Best Available Techniques (BAT) for low-emission operation of industrial plants which also include waste treatment plants. The definition of the best available techniques in terms of the BREFs is similar to that of the German term state of the art. The legal basis is the Industrial Emissions Directive 2010/75/EU (IED Directive) which replaced the Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control Directive of 15th January 2008 (IPPC Directive). With the adoption of the IED Directive, the BREF Documents have been gaining increased legal weight. They must be observed in setting permit conditions and constitute a major element of the permitting process.

Mechanical Biological Treatment (MBT) is a generic term for the integration of a number of waste management processes such as materials recovery facilities (MRF), refuse derived fuel (RDF) production, mechanical separation, sorting, composting and pasteurising. Originally the development of MBT in the last twenty years took place in Germany and Austria but the technology is spread all over in Europe and worldwide in the meantime. The MBT process is designed to take residual or black bin waste and process it so that valuable recyclable materials can be separated out and the biomass or compostable element is separated out and processed through an In Vessel Composting (IVC) or an Anaerobic Digestion (AD) system.

One main advantage of the MBT technology is the fundamental flexibility. The construction and layout can be adapted to the legal and technical circumstances on site.
