Thermal Waste Treatment Plant Spittelau – New Construction to the Existing Plant –
© Thomé-Kozmiensky Verlag GmbH (12/2015)
The thermal waste treatment plant Spittelau is steeped in history and tradition. It is one out of four municipal solid waste incinerations plants in Vienna. The plant was built from 1969 until 1971 for the purpose of thermal utilization of municipal waste and household-type commercial waste as well as energy supply of the new General Hospital Vienna two kilometres away via district heating. The plant was equipped with two hot-water boilers to ensure heat supply at all times. Although it is located in the town-centre of Vienna its architectural structure did not differ significantly from the traditional plant structure.

Waste Availability, Successful Regional Strategies and New WtE Projects Shaping – The Benefits and Application of the Optimization Tool NERUDA –

There are more than 2,000 waste-to-energy plants (WtE) in operation worldwide. Only in Europe are there facilities with an overall processing capacity of around 100 million tons. These are mainly located in Western Europe and their erection took place between 1980 and 2000 when these countries were in the process of transiting their waste management systems into more efficient forms. Even though 120 million tons of municipal solid waste (MSW) was still landfilled in 2010 in EU, the outlook for new plants within Europe in this decade is pessimistic. There are only a number of several new plants planned and the centre point of future construction has shifted to Asia.

In principle the typical technologies known from the thermal treatment of municipal solid waste are applicable for the thermal utilization of residues from the paper industry. The most commonly used technologies are the grate firing systems and fluidized bed combustors. Grate systems are a well proven technology. Their advantages are their robust construction, ability to handle large fuel particles and contraries as well as a comparatively simple fuel feeding.

How Construction Standards Can Reduce Carbon Emissions: An African Case Study

Building techniques typically employ cement, a material with high embedded carbon. Rammed Earth, a traditional building material, has a far lower carbon impact. In the search for sustainable development across the developed and developing world, building techniques have an important role to play.

The ECO-TEC method, a system where individuals and families learn by working together to form a structure that will be of benefit to the community, utilizes non-­returnable PET bottles as bricks, filling them with soil, gravel, plastic trash, or other materials from the site. The PET bottle bricks are linked together to form a coherent structure.
