MODULE 2 – ALTERNATIVE WASTE TREATMENT TECHNOLOGIES (AWT) DR DARREN PERRIN
MODULE OUTLINE The aim / learning outcome of this module is to provide an overview on the range of technologies that are available for the treatment of mixed waste streams and a brief understanding of the factors which influence the deliverability and operation of different alternative waste treatment technologies (AWTs). • • What are AWT’s and their role in a strategic framework The impact of collection strategies on AWT feedstock Factors influencing the deliverability of AWT Clear strategy in procuring an AWT
MODULE 2 – AWT – THE TECHNOLOGIES DR DARREN PERRIN
WHAT IS AWT? • What does the definition include? • Track record • • Europe, America and Japan - Successful operational experience and knowledge principally within Europe, America and Japan, but examples across the globe. Australia / New Zealand - Mixed performance, recent focus primarily on organics • What do they do ? • • Mechanical Sorting / Separation / Pre-treatment Biological Processes Physiochemical Processes Thermal Processes • No ‘one stop’ solution suitable for all • Lack of information makes it difficult to compare fairly
THE ROLE OF THE AWT TO MANAGE WASTE • 100% kerbside recycling? - At what cost? • We will always have residual (general mixed) waste • We will always have a need for landfill • Challenge is to: • • Understand how much residual waste Understand what the residual waste consists of Design and implement appropriate technology to manage the waste in a manner which meets the local and regional strategic objectives in accordance with the waste hierarchy Have a common understanding on what the process will and won’t do and manage expectations accordingly.
THE TECHNOLOGIES • Biological Technologies: • • Composting (in-vessel) Anaerobic digestion) • Mechanical and Biological treatment (MBT) • • Sort first / bio-treat second Bio-treat first / sort second (bio drying) • Mechanical Heat Treatment (MHT) / Autoclaving • Advanced Thermal Treatment (ATT) • • • Gasification Pyrolysis Plasma gasification • Mass burn incineration (energy from waste) • • Grate combustion Fluidized bed combustion

EXAMPLES OF THE TECHNOLOGIES
THE WASTE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
BIOLOGICAL TECHNOLOGIES • Aerobic Digestion - in the presence of “air” Windrow In Vessel Composting Biodrying • Anaerobic Digestion- in the absence of “air”
COMPOSTING • Composting is the microbial decomposition of organic material in the presence of oxygen to produce compost. There are two main types of composting: • • Open windrow is most commonly used in Australia for green garden waste In-vessel composting is common in Europe and increasingly being taken up in Australia for green garden and food waste
ANAEROBIC DIGESTION • Anaerobic digestion is the microbial decomposition of organic matter into biogas (approximately 60% methane and 40% carbon dioxide) and digestate (solid or liquid) in an oxygen depleted environment. • • Two main types: Wet (>80% moisture) and Dry (50 to 80% moisture) Typical waste feedstock include source segregated organics from household and commercial premises, biosolids, manure and farm slurries and purpose grown crops.
MECHANICAL BIOLOGICAL TREATMENT • Mechanical Biological Treatment is a generic term for an integration of several processes and technologies commonly found in different waste management facilities such as MRFs and biological treatment facilities. • Using mechanical and biological processes to separate / prepare mixed waste into usable fractions and / or render it more ‘stable’ for deposit into landfill. • They commonly use composting or anaerobic digestion for treatment of mixed general waste to separate / prepare this into usable fractions and / or render it more ‘stable’ for deposit into landfill.
MECHANICAL AND BIOLOGICAL TREATMENT Inputs • Mixed Waste Outputs • Recyclables • CLO • RDF Issues • Not an end process in its own right • Outputs need a market • Bio-drying process does not necessarily stabilise material Benefits • Can maximise recycling • Relatively proven European track record • Treatment of waste with “no stack”
MECHANICAL HEAT TREATMENT • Mechanical Heat Treatment is use of steam based thermal treatment, with or without pressure, in conjunction with mechanical processing for clinical and mixed general waste. • There are two main types of facility that use mechanical heat treatment: • • Autoclaving – a batch steam processing in a metal vessel under the action of pressure Rotary kiln - continuous heat treatment in a rotating vessel, not under pressure
MECHANICAL HEAT TREATMENT Inputs • Mixed Waste Input Outputs • Clean Dry Recyclables • Fibre Flock Issues • Energy intensive • Need output for biodegradable fraction. Benefits • Relatively lower capital cost • Simple technology • Cleans metals and glass inputs • Sanitises waste (pressure cooking) • Separation of waste easier after processing
ADVANCED THERMAL TREATMENT (ATT) • Advanced Thermal Treatment (ATT) is an umbrella term that is used to categorise waste treatment technologies that utilise thermal processes to treat mixed general waste that are different to incineration. • Primarily those that employ pyrolysis and/or gasification to process mixed general waste and also exclude full combustion thermal processes (i. e. incineration).
ADVANCED THERMAL TREATMENT (ATT) • Gasification • Thermal and chemical conversion of carbon based material within mixed general waste into mainly gaseous outputs. Temperatures are in the range of 800 -1100°C with air as the gasification agent and up to about 1500°C with oxygen. Overall gasification processes are exothermal, i. e. producing heat • Pyrolysis • The thermal degradation of organic materials within mixed general waste MSW in absence of oxygen. Temperatures are typically around 300 -800°C. Overall the process is endothermic, i. e. , energy is required for the pyrolysis process to proceed.
ATT – HOW IT WORKS
ADVANCED THERMAL TREATMENT Inputs • Prefers single / pretreated waste streams Outputs • Gas (Syngas) • Oil and tar • Ash and Metals Issues • A variety of operational risks due to history • Differentiation from incineration • “true” gasification and “staged” gasification • Not all systems have energy efficiency benefits over incineration • High capital cost Benefits • Produces renewable energy in the form of syngas • Reduces waste volume, destroys BMW • Potential benefits of small scale or integrated facilities • Smaller scale than mass burn (niche applications) • Potential for smaller Air Pollution Control equipment
INCINERATION • Incineration involves combustion of mixed general, clinical and hazardous waste with sufficient quantities of air in temperatures often in excess of 850°C. The main types are: • • Fixed grate Moving grate Fluidised bed Rotary kiln
INCINERATION Inputs • Mixed or Single Waste Input Outputs • Heat used to produce electricity (and/or a local user) • Bottom ash can be recycled (20 – 30%) • Metals for recycling (3 -5 %) • Air pollution control residues (4 - 7%) Issues • Poor public perception • Potentially large land take Capital intensive • Commercially viable approx. 100 k tpa + Benefits • Proven technology with long track record • Reduces waste volumes • Established markets for outputs

MODULE 2 – AWT – THE PURCHASE DR DARREN PERRIN
PROCESS IN OBTAINING AN AWT Define What Your Strategic Priorities Are Obtain Pre-Procurement Information Develop Procurement Strategy Develop Evaluation Criteria Develop Weightings Validate Weighting and Evaluation Criteria Commence Procurement Process
DEFINING STRATEGIC PURPOSE OF AWT • Reduce the mass and volume of waste? • Produce an end product: • • • Quality Compost ? Recyclables ? High end value recyclables ? • Pre-treat the waste to produce a feedstock for another process? • • RDF ? SRF ? • Generate and export power or heat? • • Electricity? Heat / Steam ? Biogas ? Synagas ? • Stabilise the waste prior to disposal to landfill? • Maximise the life of landfill assets?
PRE-PROCUREMENT ACTIVITY • Understand data available (waste flows, composition, performance, population / household growth • Political landscape and sensitivities • Understand / Map out stakeholders • Determine Contract Specification • • Input (sets service requirements) Output (sets performance standards) • Understand plan programme • Procurement Plan
PROCUREMENT PLAN • Scope and duration • Contract type (O, DBFO, DBFOM) • Funding • Provision of Facilities / staffing • Partnering • Market appetite • Planning, sites and approvals
EVALUATION CRITERIA IS LIKE BUYING A CAR • In most cases, a car will get you from A to B • Lots of different cars out there • If entering a car yard, what do you tell the salesman are the key things you want…. . • Key Questions? • • • What is important to you? e. g. Speed, colour, number of seats, fuel efficiency, age, reliability, appearance, reputation of manufacturer, cost Are any of these more important? If so, which are more important and by how much? Are any of these show stoppers? i. e. you have 3 kids therefore a 2 seater car is not possible Can you group some of these together?
TIER 1 AND TIER 2 CRITERIA • Tier 1 is the main grouping • Tier 2 is the categories within the grouping • Performance • • • Fuel efficiency Speed Emissions • Cost • • • Deprecation Cost to buy Cost to maintain
TIER 1 AND TIER 2 WEIGHTING – Performance – Fuel efficiency – Speed – Emissions – Cost – Deprecation – Cost to buy – Cost to maintain 20% 30% 50% 20% 100% 50% 20% 60% 20% – Track record – Reliability 50% – Reputation of manufacturer 50% 100% 30% 100%
REMEMBER …… • Sales man will be unhappy if he has invested ½ day showing you • • • 2 seater cars if you have 3 kids Cars which are not within your budget Providing a test drive for cars you “know you don’t want” that don’t meet your criteria. • A salesman will be more attracted to a customer who has a clear idea of what the car needs to do than a customer who is asking the salesman to pick a car for them • You may be having the car serviced at the garage; therefore you want to start on a “good relationship”. • You are unlikely to take the car with you i. e. needs financing, engine checks, certificates etc.
REMEMBER……………. . • Important to have a clear, robust evaluation criteria to communicate to the market “what you want” • Changing criteria through the process “could” result in a challenge i. e. people invested a lot of time and money • A well thought through criteria allows you to “direct” solutions you want and filter out those you don’t want • Need to be VERY aware of incorrect criteria weightings which can result in the wrong solution being selected
