EMISSIONS FROM COMPOSTING PLANTS |
| Author: | Dr. W. Bidlingmaier |
| Abstract:
Every technical composting process sets emissions free, regardless of the materials being treated. These emissions can be classified according to at least three paths they can take:
The different relevant emissions, their analysis and their treatment are related to these paths. The locations and/or the place of generation of the emissions are determined by the processes shown in the flow sheet of a composting plant. receiving area - leachates, odours pre-treatment - leachates, (e.g. rotting dew) (elimination of metals, condensates from exhaust mixing, homogenizing treatment, odours screening) post-treatment - odours, dust (screening, elimination of glass etc.) end product - heavy metals, org. pollutant (compost) In the following the results of an investigation of the effects of a composting plant on the environment, arising from emissions via the water, soil and air paths will be discussed. | |
