Dewatering column
Environment and Recycling
The waste oil is heated to a temperature of 105 °C in the lower section of the column. Here, the water evaporates and is pumped away after it condenses. After reaching the appropriate temperature, the...
Dewatering wells in open cast mining
Environment and Recycling
In open cast mining, the groundwater levels must be continuously reduced to protect the mining area from flooding and the excavation walls from instability due to water pressure. A large number of dew...
Flue gas scrubber
Environment and Recycling
Flue gas from waste incineration must be cleaned before it is released into the environment. Flue gas scrubbers do this by removing acidic gas components such as sulphur dioxide. Lime water is used as...
Gauge station
Environment and Recycling
Accurate monitoring of the river level is an important prerequisite to be able to react quickly and correctly in the event of a flood. Visual, on-site level monitoring requires great effort, particula...
Incinerator
Environment and Recycling
To ensure that the waste burns completely, temperatures up to 1000 °C must be maintained. For this purpose, large amounts of primary air from below and secondary air from above are blown in. Air quant...
Incinerator feed chute
Environment and Recycling
After the crane system lifts the waste from the waste bunker and drops it to the feed chute, in the lower part of the chute, a hydraulic piston pushes the waste onto the combustion grate. It is import...
Intermediate hazardous waste storage tank
Environment and Recycling
Both chemical and thermal processes are used to treat hazardous waste. For efficient processing, the flow rate through the processing facility must be kept constant. To facilitate this, hazardous wast...
Leachate well
Environment and Recycling
Pollutants contained in the waste are partly washed out over time by rainwater, posing a significant threat to groundwater and surface water. For that reason, leachate is caught in drains within the g...
Plastic granule silo
Environment and Recycling
Complete plastic windows can be recycled by means of a special process. The recycling process results in a final product of high-quality, pure-grade PVC granules, which serve as a raw material for new...
Pyrolysis chamber and ash container
Environment and Recycling
Waste incineration converts domestic and commercial waste into combustible gases and ash. Pyrolysis is carried out in the absence of air at temperatures up to 500 °C. The intermediate product, charcoa...
Reactor
Environment and Recycling
In a recycling company, oil sludge, oil/water mixtures and emulsions from many industrial processes are collected and treated. The objective is to separate the oil and water for recovery, purification...
Receiving tank for hazardous waste
Environment and Recycling
Hazardous waste can include lacquers, paints and thinners, as well as acids, alkalis and mixtures. At hazardous waste treatment facilities, environmentally harmful substances are converted into enviro...
Silo for crushed glass
Environment and Recycling
Glass is made of quartz sand, lime and soda, which are melted together at extremely high temperatures up to 1600 °C. This melting process is very energy intensive and for that reason, more easily melt...
Stripping column for landfill leachate
Environment and Recycling
In the stripping column process, the nitrogen and carbon compounds are decomposed by various microorganisms. Special carrier materials are packed in the central part of the reactor, which improve the...
Tsunami warning system in the harbour
Environment and Recycling
Tsunamis travel quickly and cause great damage when they hit land. So it is vital that tsunami warnings are issued early. Tsunami information centres continuously evaluate simultaneous data from seism...
Waste storage bunker
Environment and Recycling
The waste storage bunker in the reception hall is an important part of the EFW incineration plant. Its purpose is to provide a place to store, buffer and uniformly mix the delivered waste and ensure a...
Wet deslagger
Environment and Recycling
The hot, burned-out slag falls into the water quenching bath of the deslagger. A mechanical discharge mechanism pushes the slag out and, while doing so, presses out most of the entrained water. Evapor...
