Mechanical Heat Treatment (MHT) describes configurations of mechanical and thermal (including steam) based technologies. The generic purpose of these processes is to separate a mixed waste stream into several component parts, to give further options for Recycling, Recovery and, in some instances, biological treatment. The processes also sanitises waste, by destroying bacteria present, and reducing its moisture content. Alternative waste management technologies using higher temperature thermal treatment processes are regarded as Advanced Thermal Treatment[1].
