Compliant energy recovery from commercial and municipal waste
Infraserv Höchst's integrated waste-management system is launching a brand-new way of recycling refuse: The waste-to-energy plant (WTE plant) will efficiently and compliantly dispose of high-calorific-value constituents of commercial waste and non-recyclable municipal waste, also known as refuse-derived fuel. This fuel, also known as RDF, consists of pre-sorted, dried and prepared high-heat-value fractions of municipal and commercial waste. This is exactly the type of waste that was banned from landfills as of June 1, 2005 under the Technical Instruction on Municipal Waste (TASi).
Your benefits: The waste-to-energy
plant is designed to handle a wide range of waste types. It offers high-reliability disposal with exceptional
availability thanks to its numerous delivery gates, five-day bunker and three combustion lines. Once
delivered, the refuse-derived fuel undergoes a multi-stage quality-control process in the plant.
Excellent
access to highways and a dedicated express gate will keep deliveries flowing smoothly.
