Waste treatment facilities
A systems approach to waste

All the channels identified have the following objectives:

• energy recovery ;

• recovery of organic and mineral raw materials ;

• materials recovery ;

• value-adding in agriculture and livestock breeding ;

• environmental technology enhancement ;

• elimination.

We can see that the technologies implemented to achieve these objectives mobilize all the engineering sciences, adapting them to the specific nature of the waste material. It is this transfer of technology that makes treatment processes so special.

For the sake of simplicity, we can group all the technical achievements in the field of waste treatment into 20 categories...
