Material flow analysis of combined mechanical waste treatment plants

Within these developments, the Institute for Sustainable Waste Management (IAE) has examined the mass flows for single plants (biological degradation, biogas, mechanicalbiological treatment and burning, clinker brick production). By mature sampling plans and sorting campaigns, for the first time single substances could be investigated for more than two plants in series over four weeks, in coordination with the facility stuff (line operation) and logistics (storage and transports between the plants). In short these mass flows can be described about process chains as material flow chains. So, optimization potential for the plant configuration can be shown and the pollutant transfer can proved with this tool.
