  1. Mechanical Biological Treatment of Residual Waste - Lessons from Europe Jeremy O’Brien, PE, BCEE Director of Applied Research, SWANA NC SWANA Fall Conference – Oct. 31 – Nov 2, 2017

  2. SWANA Applied Research Foundation Founded in 2001 46 Local Government and Corporate Subscribers Conducts applied research on topics submitted by and voted on by Subscribers Four Research Groups – Collection, Recycling, WTE, and Disposal.

  3. SWANA 2018 ARF Subscribers From North Carolina

  4. Mechanical Biological Treatment of Residual Waste – Lessons from Europe Capital costs and tipping fees can be high 2. Material recovery rates are low 3. Compost quality is poor 4. Diversion rates are 20% without energy recovery

  5. Mechanical Biological Treatment of Residual Waste – Lessons from Europe Developed to meet landfill treatment and stabilization requirements 570 active MBT facilities in 2017 55 million tons per year Another 120 facilities by 2025.

  6. Capital Costs

  7. Tipping Fees in UK Frog Island MBT Facility (London) Average - $95 per ton Range - $78 - $101 per ton.

  8. Material Recovery Rates Are Low • Metals Recovery Rate – 3% New Earth Canford MBT Facility (Dorset, ENG)

  9. Compost Quality is Poor

  10. Diversion Rates

  11. Diversion Rates

  12. Reality Check • Residue Stream = 30% of MSW • MBT Diversion Rate = 20% of RS = 20% x 30% = 6%.

  13. Mechanical Biological Treatment of Residual Waste – Lessons from Europe Capital costs and tipping fees can be high 2. Material recovery rates are low 3. Compost quality is poor 4. Diversion rates are 20% without energy recovery
