Advanced Thermal Treatment technologies are primarily those that employ Pyrolysis and/or Gasification to process municipal solid waste (MSW)[1]. It excludes Incineration of wastes which is already a mature and well-established technology.
ATT plants have varying configurations but will typically consist of the following key elements:
- Waste reception, handling and pre-treatment;
- Thermal treatment reactor;
- Gas and residue treatment plant (optional);
- Energy recovery plant (optional); and
- Emissions clean-up [1].
