Article from: OGEL 3 (2016), in Waste-to-Energy (WtE)
Abstract
Perhaps the most important classification in relation to Waste-to-Energy (WtE) production is the recovery operation status of the installation. It has a significant effect on the applicable legislation, on the position in the waste hierarchy and on the practical arrangements of the operation. For the WtE operation to be an efficient energy plant it is crucial that it is classified as a recovery operation according to the definition in the WDF. In the waste hierarchy WtE operations are placed on the two bottom steps but the distinction between the two in relation to WtE operations has a ...
