Climate Relevance of Exhaust Air Purification in Mechanical-Biological Waste Treatment (MBA)
Description
In the study, selected applications of mechanical-biological waste treatment (MBA) are modelled with different exhaust air purification concepts and assessed according to their climate relevance. In addition to aerobic rotting and drying processes, partial flow fermentation is also considered. On the basis of continuous operating and emission data from German MBA plants, direct emissions (Reingas cargoes of methane and nitrous oxide as well as fossil additional energy requirements for exhaust air purification) as well as indirect emissions from energy provision are included in the calculations. As a significant result, compliance with the limit values of the MBA guideline, taking into account a low climate load in all modeled applications, is only made possible by the exhaust air purification concept of the combination of biofilters and RTO.
