Abstract
The processing of heterogeneous waste is a major challenge for waste treatment equipment used in mechanical-biological (MB) waste treatment plants. This conference contribution focuses on the technical feasibility and efficiency of different technologies for the processing of a heavy waste fraction from a MB-plant which contains a high portion of high caloric components. The aim is to meet the requirements for waste to be landfilled in Austria. Also economic considerations with regard to the implementation of an additional separation step and the resulting changes in the waste routing are discussed. The processing technologies looked at comprise sensor-based sorting technologies (NIR, X-ray transmission) as well as traditional mechanical density separation technologies such as a jigger and cross-flow air classification.
