The implementation of separate collection opened the

possibility to treat biowaste. Despite this, the treatment

of residual waste is still very important

In these cases AD is typically part of a

The mechanical-biological-treatment (MBT) is

combination of two processes:

the first one, mechanical, is dedicated to the separation

of recyclable materials and the organic fraction from the

bulk waste while the second one, biological, is dedicated

to the stabilization of this organic material.

The biological step can be either aerobic or anaerobic.

The main benefit of MBT technology is its capability of

reducing the mass and volume of waste sent to

landfills. At the same time, recyclable or thermally

reusable fractions can be separated.

y AIMS

typical aims of MBT plants include the:

�Pre-treatment of waste going to landfill;

�Diversion of non-biodegradable and biodegradable MSW

going to landfill through the mechanical sorting of MSW into

materials for recycling and/or energy recovery as refuse

derived fuel (RDF);

derived fuel (RDF);

�Diversion of biodegradable MSW going to landfill by

reducing the dry mass of BMW prior to Landfill and the

biodegradability of BMW prior to landfill;

�Stabilisation into a compost-like output (CLO) for use on

land;

�Conversion into a combustible (RDF and biogas) for energy

recovery

y The mechanical stage of the process generally has two

main roles:

� to brake down the waste in smaller parts and

� recovery some recyclable materials

The net result will be the reduction of the mass and volume

of the treated waste due to the removal of materials for

recycling and both carbon and moisture losses.

Clearly, recycled material has a worst quality than the one

coming from separate collection !

Beside the recyclable materials and the biogas the residual

outputs are a biostabilized material and RDF.

The typical AD application is the DRY process.

In case of the application of a WET AD process, a further

“purification” step is needed to remove the residual

fraction of inert material

MARKETS & OUTLETS FOR THE OUTPUTS

Recyclables derived from the various MBT processes are

typically of a lower quality than those derived from a

separate household recyclate collection system and

therefore have a lower potential for high value markets.

Materials which may be extracted from

MBT processes include metals, glass, textiles,

MBT processes include metals, glass, textiles,

paper/card, and plastics. The most common of these is

glass, which may be segregated with other

inert materials such as stones and ceramics.

exceeding 60 m3 per tonne of treated material

(equivalent to some 120-140 kWh).

Where the MSW is sorted / treated to produce a high

Application of the WET anaerobic digestion in MBT systems

The organic material recovered from a MSW through

the mechanical processes can undergo to an aanerobic

treatment for energy recvoery. However, this material

is generally of bad quality.
