1 Implementing a Biowaste Strategy in Bulgaria Walter HAUER Technisches Bür o H A U ER Umweltwirtschaft GmbH A Korneuburg, Brückenstraße / w w w. tbha uer. at Biowaste Study Tour Austria 2 April 2013 Sanitary Landfill: The Multi-Barrier-System Safeguard 1: Site selection (hydrogeology) objective based targets Safeguard 2: Top sealing (capping) Safeguard 3: Leachate control (mineral liner, mineral + HDPE liner) Safeguard 4: Leachate collection and treatment Safeguard 5: Reduction of landfilling biodegradable waste 2 About the European approach... prescriptive described Technical Standard 1

2 Waste Management Targets MSW required by the EC Landfill Directive Treatment for disposal stabilisation 50% 20-30% Landfilling 100% Separate Collection for: Recycling Composting Recovering Quantity and composition of residual MSW in Austria, 1991 and t/yr kg/inh.a kg/inh.a 160 kg/inh.a 54 kg/inh.a Biowaste Paper Other waste Textiles Hazardous waste Metals Other plastics Plastic and compound packagings Glass packagings biodegradable Separate collection of Paper/Cardboard and Biowaste can deliver the highest contribution to the reduction of residual MSW-quantity 2

3 MSW Quantities and Consumption of private Households t of MSW Biowaste 2010: 0,75 Mio. tons 92 kg/inh.a Recyclables collected separately 2010: 1,2 Mio. tons 148 kg/inh.a Residual MSW 2010: 1,41 Mio. tons 175 kg/inh.a Quantity MSW without Biowaste Consumption of private Households real Index durable Consumption Not durable Consumption Typical Collection Infrastructure Kerbside Collection Decentral Collection Sites Plastic Packaging Residual MSW Biowaste Paper Glass Metals 3

4 Separation at Source of MSW Reducing the landfill of biodegradables is the most important contribution for avoiding emissions from landfills! Recycling needs high quality material The highest quality can be achieved by means of separate collection Separate collection of selected fractions / products is an effective method for Reducing residual MSW to be disposed Saving money for waste disposal Sometimes a requirement for getting burnable waste to be incinerated Economic advantage of separate collection of biodegradable MSW Separate collection and recycling of biodegradable MSW (Paper, cardboard, biowaste) saves money even the separate collection has higher specific costs than MSW disposal 4

5 Key Driver for Avoiding Landfilling Ban for Landfilling Waste with an ignition loss of more than 5% Ban for landfilling biological treated waste with a gross calorific value of more than kj/kg Accompanied with a Landfilling Tax of EUR/t 84,- Competition with Landfilling The current prices for landfilling MSW in the Bulgaria are very low. With these prices no stabilisation technologies are competitive. The challenge of new facilities is to become competitive with landfilling. Otherwise the facility cannot survive in a free market. Making facilities which represent the state of the art competitive is a challenge Subsidies Landfill Tax 5

6 Waste Composition, Waste Characteristics and its measurement Each Waste Management Step requires a stable data basis No collections system and no treatment facility can be planned without a definition of the material to be handled Quantity Composition Products Materials Particle size (small particles or bulky pieces, homogenous or mixed, ) Calorific value Water content Variation of characteristics 6

7 Causes of wrong Waste Damaged grid of a waste incineration facility because of too many Aluminium products in the treated waste Fire-power Diagram schematic Thermal Output Upper limit of Calorific Value Possible short-time overboost Designed calorific value Lower limit of Calorific Value Designed Throughput Throughput of Waste 7

17 Conclusions Separation at Source of biowaste and recyclables is an essential part of an integrated, effective and sustainable Waste Management System - for high recycling rates - for getting well suited inputs for Waste to Energy facilities Mechanical (pre)treatment of residual MSW helps to separate recyclables and to get a homogeneous fuel Local/regional biological pre-treatment helps drying waste and to reduce transport The effectiveness of energy recovery can be raised with the use of different incineration technologies for different wastes or part of wastes 17
