Generating energy with disposal:
thermal treatment of hazardous waste.
Materials recycling from hazardous waste is not always technically possible. In these cases, incineration in our high-performance facilities is the safest and most environmentally-friendly type of treatment, because even this method preserves natural resources – in three different ways: First, the energy use from incinerating the waste saves primary energy sources such as coal, oil and natural gas. Second, the slag that accumulates in the incineration is so processed that it can be used as building materials. And third, even residues that accumulate in the flue gas scrubbing can be recycled – particularly gypsum which accumulates in large quantities and which the REMONDIS company RADDiBIN uses to manufacture various different types of products.
Range of facilities
- High-temperature incineration plant (HTVA), Bramsche. Liquid, pumpable wastes are incinerated here. Reactive and toxic chemicals burn at temperatures of over 1,000°C.
- Hazardous waste incineration plant SAVA, Brunsbüttel, for the harmless removal of hazardous waste. Residues are fed into recycling.
- Lünen powerplant, with efficient fluidised-bed combustion and the most modern flue gas scrubbing.
- Biomass power station, Lünen, for producing energy from scrap wood. The CO2-neutral incineration saves the environment around 100,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide in comparison to conventional power generation. For more information, see BMK
- We also have holdings in the following waste incineration plants: TRV Wesseling, MVA Bremerhaven, MVA Frankfurt, MVA Köln, GMVA Oberhausen.
- And we have assured access to fixed quotas: RZR Herten, MEAB Schöneiche, RVA Schwarzheide and various cement and industrial factories.
