Multifunctional waste to energy plant – Castellana Sicula

Thanks to an anaerobic digestion section, the plant is expected to produce biomethane
and compost from the OFMSW, and raw material from the residual fraction of MSW.
Moreover, in the platform will be executed the pre-processing and the securing of the
WEEE (Waste of electric and electronic equipment) and the pre-treatment of the bulky
waste.
The plant has a maximum treatment capacity of 42.500 t/year for the OFMSW section and
68.000 t/year for the residual fraction of MSW, 300t/year for the bulky waste and finally a
capacity of 1.500 t/year for the e-Waste.

The Plant activities can be divided as follows:

1. OFMSW treatment section:

• Mechanical pre-treatment;
• Anaerobic digestion – Biogas production – Biomethane up-grading;
• High quality compost production.

2. mechanical biologic treatment section for residual waste of MSW,
Bulky waste and dry fraction of MSW:

• mechanical separation treatment;
• anaerobic stabilization – biogas production – Biomethane up-grading;
• RDF production;
• secondary raw material production (paper, plastic, metals, i.e.);
• separation and collection of recyclable material from bulky waste;
• mechanical treatment and volume reduction, with final baling.

3. Pre-processing and securing of e- waste:

• e-Waste storage;
• Disassembly and waste securing;
• Stockage of dangerous and non-dangerous -compound.
