Solutions for Municipal and Industrial Waste

The utilization of high calorific portions of residual waste has gained in importance in the circular economy model and under relevant legislation (especially in Germany). The production of energy from refuse derived fuel (RDF) is of increasing economic importance across the globe.

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.
