Solutions for Municipal and Industrial Waste

WTE – RDF Plants

The specifications and basic conditions for the production and utilization of refuse derived fuels are based on the following legislative and technical frameworks:

• EU Directive on the incineration of waste and relevant national implementations
• German circular economy and waste law (KrWAbfG), which sets out a hierarchy of objectives: Avoid – Recycle – Dispose
• Technical instruction on municipal waste (TASI), which aims to ensure that waste can be dumped without further treatment
• Act on the environmental-friendly (AbfAbIV) disposal of municipal waste
• German federal ambient pollution control act, including important regulations: 4th BImSCHv, 13th BImSchW, 17th BImSchV.
• Avoidance of landfill
• Reduction of climate-damaging landfill gases (methane)
• Prevention of groundwater pollution from landfill residues

Refuse-derived fuel is produced from the high-calorific components of  domestic waste, bulky waste, commercial waste similar to domestic waste, residues from the sorting of recyclable material (paper, cardboard, wood, textiles, plastics) as well as product-specific residues from commercial and industrial waste.

Oschatz offers comprehensive know-how and experience in the field of incineration and steam generation for turn-key solutions, and is making an important environmental contribution to the reduction of emissions by applying its competencies within the Christof Industries 360° portfolio.

Our competence does covers not only the technology from chute to stack, but also includes electric power generation and, if desired, even the process (plant output) and municipal heat generation.
