THERMOSELECT - EXTRACTION OF ENERGY AND R AW-MATERIALS .4. SAFETY ANDPROCESSING FEATURES OF THE PROCESS WITH REGARD TO ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS AND THE QUALITY OF ITS FINAL PRODUCTS FROM THERMAL WASTE TREATMENT

Within a plant for thermal treatment of municipal waste high energy de nsities, high pressure, hypothetical release of big quantities of noci l and toxic components and other safety concerns generally need to be dealed with. The THERMOSELECT-plants for raw material and energy recov ery from waste are designed using a maximum of process incorporated sa fety caracteristics which enable a riskless running of the plant and w hich garantee a reproductable high level quality of the products despi te the varying composition of the heterogeneous waste. After a short i ntroduction in the THERMOSELECT-technology the publication resumes and describes the most important safety caracteristics of the process sta rting from the waste storage using inertisation and ending with the va rious standard technologies for the synthesis gas conversion.
