Waste Press for the Mechanical Treatment of Organic Waste

An efficient biological treatment of organic waste from household, kitchens and gardens requires an adequate upfront mechanical preparation. The challenge of an efficient contraries separation is that the contraries are distributed in the wet and pasty organic matter. Hence during the mechanical
pretreatment contraries are milled with the organic matter and these small contraries particles are hardly to remove from the organic.

If contraries are not removed before or after the biological treatment, they end up in the compost or digestate. In case of fermentation contraries like glass or stone can reduce the volume of the digester and can cause increased wearing of various parts ofthe fermentation plant, e.g. pumps, pipes, etc. In this work organic waste was mechanically treated with a waste press (VMPress). The pressse parates the waste into a wet fraction for biological treatment and a dry contraries fraction forincineration or further treatment. The press consists of a cylinder tube which is perforated at oneend with bores of 10 mm diameter and a hopper for feeding the press. A hydraulic post pushes the waste with high pressure (20-30 MN/m2) into the cylinder to the perforated end where the liquid and soft parts of the waste are pressed out. After the pressing step the cylinder bottom at the perforated end is opened and the remaining material is pushed out of the cylinder. Subsequently new material is filled into the hopper and the pressing process starts again. The aim of this work was to assess the contraries separation efficiency of the waste press.

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.
