Regenerative Energie
The current development in the field of the mechanical-biological treatment of municipal and industrial wastes in Austria is a clear indication of the rising importance of this form of waste treatment. In the beginning of the year 2007, 17 mechanical-biological treatment plants were in operation with a treatment capacity of approximately 686,500 tons.
method to thermal treatment.
Two more facilities were being planned. This means that Austria has made a successful step in the direction of decentralized facilities for the pre-treatment of waste before landfill as much before incineration. The mechanical-biological treatment of waste and of municipal waste in particular is now firmly established as an alternative and complementary The rapid developments in Austria require a higher level of standardization for the operation of mechanical-biological treatment plants than provided for in the Landfill Ordinance, in order to be able to cut emissions into environmental media or to control them. A first step in this direction was already made in Austria in 2002 when a guideline was issued on the mechanical-biological treatment of waste. This guideline specifies a standard state-of-the-art technology and is intended to provide orientation for all parties concerned (especially planners, plant applicants and authorities). The documented results from investigations on 16 MBT plants in the year 2006 show that adaptation according to the state-of-the-art technology have been achieved only to a limited extent. Particularly need for action can be seen for the requirements concerning collection, reduction and cleaning of emissions into air. This is why a binding legal regulation (according to § 65 (1) of the Austrian Waste Management Law 2002 as amended) is recommended which would provide a suitable instrument in order to speed up the implementation of standard state-of-the-art technology as stipulated in the national guideline on the mechanical-biological treatment of waste.

Europäische Rechtsvorgaben und Auswirkungen auf die Bioabfallwirtschaft in Deutschland

Bioabfälle machen 34 % der Siedlungsabfälle aus und bilden damit die größte Abfallfraktion im Siedlungsabfall in der EU. Rund 40 Millionen Tonnen Bioabfälle werden jährlich in der EU getrennt gesammelt und in ca. 4.500 Kompostierungs- und Vergärungsanlagen behandelt.

Auch mittel- bis langfristig steht zu erwarten, dass die Kaskade aus anaerober und aerober Behandlung Standard für die Biogutbehandlung sein wird.
Die Mischung macht‘s - Der Gärrestmischer in der Praxis

Zur Nachbehandlung von Gärrest aus Bio- und Restabfall entwickelte Eggersmann den Gärrestmischer, der aus Gärresten und Zuschlagstoffen homogene, gut belüftbare Mischungen erzeugt. Damit wird den besonderen Anforderungen der Gärreste mit hohem Wassergehalt begegnet und eine effiziente Kompostierung ermöglicht.
