COMPARISON OF ENERGY EFFICIENCY OF THE MUNICIPAL WASTE TREATMENT PLANT IN KRAKOW AND BIALYSTOK
Journal Title: Structure and Environment - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 4
Abstract
Thermal treatment of municipal waste is a method that has been rediscovered in Poland in recent years. National installations for thermal treatment of municipal waste launched in recent years draw on the experience of plants around the world and they use repeatedly proven technologies. Poland, within the framework of EU commitments, must reduce the amount of biodegradable waste going to landfills to 35% by weight of the total municipal waste by July 16, 2020. Other biodegradable waste that can not be recycled should be subjected to biological or thermal decomposition. The purpose of this publication is to determine the efficiency of Polish installations for the thermal treatment of municipal waste, by comparing the energy efficiency ratio of installations in Kraków and Bialystok. These are two of the six installations of thermal waste treatment, which were created in 2015-2016. The Krakow incineration plant is the largest, and the Białystok one of the smallest.
