In legal terms, a ‘waste incineration plant’ means any stationary or mobile technical unit and equipment dedicated to the thermal treatment of waste, with or without recovery of the combustion heat generated.
Therefore, the Environmental Permit is termed Incineration, whether the thermal treatment of the waste is via Conventional Combustion, Pyrolysis, Gasification or indeed Plasma process, if the gases resulting from the treatment are subsequently incinerated[1]. As an example, a Pyrolysis facility that burnt the produced Syngas to generate electricity would be Incineration, whereas a Pyrolysis facility that processed Syngas for vehicle fuel would not.
The standards for emissions limits, monitoring, waste reception and treatment standards that are acceptable for waste incineration plants were set in the Waste Incineration Directive (2000/76/EC) and updated in the Industrial Emissions Directive (2010/75/EU)[1].
