The treatment line planned for the first facility includes ballistic separations, optical separations, and manual selections.
The treatment line planned for the second facility incorporates the use of air separation technologies, optical separation, magnetic separation, and inductive currents.
These facilities would complete the revamping of the Bellolampo site, along with the treatment plant for the organic fraction of municipal solid waste (FORSU), which is also designed by OWAC.
