Measurement method for determination of the ratio of biogenic and fossil-derived CO2 in stack gas
ABSTRACT In this paper, we present a measurement method for sampling and analysis of the ratio of biogenic and fossil-derived CO2 in stack gases from the combustion of mixed fossil and biogenic fuels. The measurement method was developed as a part of a project performed for Energinet.dk and the association of waste incineration and treatment plants in Denmark. The methodology for sampling and ...

Axetris Sensor Field Test
The Axetris LGDs were operated continuously for two years. After intensive laboratory testing, they went out into the field in 2015. Axetris was able to test the functionality of its sensors under real-life conditions thanks to the support of the Linth waste incineration plant. The gas concentration measuring devices called laser gas detectors (LGD sensors) are used for measuring hazardous ...

Dust filter damage monitoring on clean gas site - Case Study
Client: Waste incineration plant (Southwest Germany) Product: Lime dust What measuring process was used previously: There was no monitoring system available for the limestone silos. Client benefits: Increased dust concentration, due to filter leakages, used to be noticed at quite a late state because only sporadic sight checks were carried out. With the installation of "Dusty", holes in ...

Model comparison in simulating the atmospheric dispersion of a pollutant plume in low wind conditions
This study investigates the performance of different air pollution dispersion models in low wind conditions. The models have been applied to two sites frequently characterised by weak winds: the cities of Modena and Reggio Emilia, in the Po River Valley (Northern Italy). The emission sources are the municipal waste incinerator (Modena) and a turbogas plant (Reggio Emilia). Total Suspended ...

WI BAT conclusions finally published – key findings
The final draft of the Best Available Technology Reference document for Waste Incineration (WI BREF) was accepted by European Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control Bureau (EIPPCB) on summer 2019 and the WI BAT conclusions published on 3rd December 2019, under the IED Directive 2010/75/EU. This BAT conclusions covers the incineration and co-incineration of waste, including the following ...

Pollutant reduction control and Continuous Emissions Monitoring at Waste-to-Energy Plants
Waste is generally undesired, and best not generated at all. The second best alternative to manage waste is to recycle it. However, there is also waste that for various reasons is not recycled. Landfills have then been the old-school solution, but it is for environmental reasons becoming a less viable option. What then remains is waste incineration, in most cases while recovering the energy ...

Impact of CO2 Emission Trading Schemes on Residual Waste Management
ABSTRACT The EU-Emission trading scheme (ETS) in its current design hardly affects residual waste management directly: methane from landfill-sites is not included although it is one of the “Green-House-Gases” (GHG) of the Kyoto Protocol, CO2-emissions from waste incineration plants are generally exempted from the regulation of the directive and emissions from combustion of landfill-site gas can ...

Dust monitoring with AirSafe - Case Study
Application A waste incineration plant burns waste. A fi nal product of this incineration process is fi lter dust, which is stored in silos before being evacuated. For the ambient air monitoring of the silos, convey lines and connected rooms, the plant manager looked for a maintenance-free way to detect dust leaks and malfunctions. Optical techniques were not considered because of the degree ...

The math behind long-term dioxin sampling
Can I let you in on a secret? Your current method of measuring dioxins is probably not giving you the whole picture about your dioxin emissions. A typical waste incineration plant will run for about 8000 hours per year. Many waste incineration plants are still using the old method of periodic sampling. With periodic sampling, dioxins are only measured for 6-8 hours at a time. You don’t need ...

Like a phoenix from the ashes
Thanks to growing environmental awareness, waste is increasingly being separated and recycled. However, residual waste always remains that can't easily be recycled. This ends up in waste incineration plants (referred to as KVAs in Swiss German) for disposal and reclaiming, such as the KVA Linthgebiet in Niederurnen in the Swiss canton of Glarus. Due to the strict environmental specifications ...

Continuous measurement of mercury emissions in combustion plants (Overview and new measuring method)
Introduction Continuous measuring devices have been used for continuous recording of Hg emissions in waste incineration plants since the early Nineties. Operators of combustion plants must maintain a 24-hour measured value of 30 μg/m³ mercury and a half-hourly average value of 50 μg/m³ in accordance with the 13th and 17th BImschV. In order to meet these requirements, measuring ...

Microbial characteristics of landfill leachate disposed by aerobic moving bed biofilm reactor
An aerobic moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) was applied to treat landfill leachate generated from a domestic waste incineration plant. Pollutant removal efficiency of this reactor under stable operating condition was studied. The biomass, bacteria species, and microbial metabolism in this reactor were investigated. These results showed that the average removal efficiency of chemical oxygen ...

Concentrations of gaseous trace elements such as mercury in the ambient air of the Netherlands
ABSTRACT Around the world, there is increasing concern about mercury in the environment. Sources of mercury emissions to the air include municipal waste incineration plants, coal-fired power plants and municipal sewage sludge disposal. The emission of mercury from coal-fired power plants in the Netherlands is well documented. However, to assess the environmental consequences of the emissions of ...
