18 18/20 Summary: Due to landfill regulations municipal solid waste incineration is an important technology in waste management. Fluidized bed combustion is an excellent technology to incinerate pre sorted municipal solid waste. It is often combined with the incineration of municipal sewage sludge. Because of the bed material attrition - mainly SiO 2 - increased residues are a consequence. Naturally the total content of interfering material - e.g. lead - is reduced. Due to the varying fuel and the constructional differences between the waste incineration plants the residues from waste incineration are a complex matter. Along with the flue gas path the content of interfering material is increasing.
