Waste Management in India and Experience with the Implementation of Projects Based on Public Private Partnership Model
© ThomĂ©-Kozmiensky Verlag GmbH (9/2016)
Decades of improper Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) Management has resulted in the creation of huge dumpsites in cities. These dumpsites are causing considerable environmental pollution and are full to capacity in most cities. Land for new disposal sites is not easily available due to increasing urbanization and population pressure. In many cases there is considerable protest from surrounding villages for setting up of a new MSW disposal site.

Mechanical-Biological Treatment Plant in Hanover, Germany – Experience in Mechanical Processing, Anaerobic Digestion and Refuse Derived Fuel Quality –
© ThomĂ©-Kozmiensky Verlag GmbH (12/2015)
The Hanover mechanical-biological treatment (MBT) plant can look back on 15 years of operator´s experience. The mechanical treatment facility has been working largely without any issues due to the simple technique and the comfortable redundancy and design. The biological treatment facility faces growing damage due to ageing of materials, which is accelerated by microbiological attack, and corrosive and abrasive ingredients in the residual waste. Comprehensive maintenance, renovation and replacement measures are planned.

Shaft Furnace Type Gasification and Direct Melting System – Technology, Input Flexibility, Operational Characteristics and Emissions –
© ThomĂ©-Kozmiensky Verlag GmbH (12/2015)
Gasification of municipal solid waste has been widely researched all over the world and is recognized as an alternative thermal technology for waste treatment. The Direct Melting System is shaft-furnace type gasification and melting technology for various kinds of wastes. It has more than 40 references and has been operated for 36 years. This gasification technology is employed to treat municipal solid waste, but can also treat various kinds of wastes together and can achieve both the energy and material recovery from waste in one process.

The Waste Framework Directive of the European Union (EU) from 2008 is the legal framework for waste legislation of the Member States. Article 4 of the Framework sets a five-step hierarchy with regards to the handling of waste in the order of prevention, preparing for reuse, recycling (recycling including reprocessing of organic substances), other kinds of utilization (e.g. thermal) and disposal.

Industrial and technological developments have increased rapidly throughout the world including Turkey. Furthermore, the population of Turkey is also increasing and the ever-increasing consumption creates larger amounts of waste and adversely affects the environment and human health.

Markets for Solid Waste Management in Arabic Countries
© ThomĂ©-Kozmiensky Verlag GmbH (12/2015)
Solid Waste Management (SWM) is a very challenging activity all over the world, especially with the rising world population, the growth in industrialisation and the expansion of urbanisation. Land scarcity and environmental and public health implications are raising serious concerns on the landfilling of solid waste as a disposal route. It is, therefore becoming exceedingly urgent, for the Arab region, to develop and implement disposal methods for MSW that is cost effective and environmentally sustainable.

In 2012, 493 kg of municipal waste were produced per person in Europe. Denmark, with 668 kg of municipal waste per person, produced the highest per-capita amount of waste, followed by Cyprus, Luxembourg and Germany with each generating more than 600 kg per person. An enormous amount of goods used in everyday life is produced from plastic: bottles, shopping bags, disposable tableware, pipes, discs, textile fibres, furnishings, and many more.

Material Recycling of Polyolefin-Rich Plastic Fractions

The material recycling of plastic waste has still an enormous potential, even in countries like Austria or Germany, which have a highly developed waste treatment system. At the moment, approximately 2/3 of the utilized packaging plastics are treated thermally, i.e. as waste derived fuels, and only 1/3 are routed for material recycling.

Whilst in the past investment costs in machinery took centre stage in the deliberations of Recycling plant operators, today operating costs in the form of energy, wear and personnel, and machine availability, are the focus of attention. Operating costs are infl uenced to a high degree by the process flows of material treatment, maintenance strategy and machinery technology deployed.
