MSW BIO-DRYING: AN ALTERNATIVE WAY FOR ENERGY RECOVERY OPTIMIZATION AND LANDFILLING MINIMIZATION

摘要

In the management of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW), in agreement with the new European directives concerning the materials valorization and energy recovery, a recent approach is based on a one-stream Biological Mechanical Treatment (BMT). The bio-mechanical treatment of MSW is an increasing option either as a pre-treatment before landfilling or/and before combustion. In the present paper some aspects related to the scientific introduction of the bio-drying process in Romania, and the use of Refused Derived Fuel (RDF) in industrial district, with a consequent minimization of land-filling volumes are presented. The results have been obtained in the frame of an international collaboration between the University of Trento, Italy and Politehnica University, Bucharest, Romania.
