Das Siemens Schwel-Brenn-Verfahren

The Siemens Thermal Waste Recycling Technology The Thermal Waste Recycling Technology has been developed by the Siemens company for the thermal waste treatment. In this paper the informations published in the literature are summarized. An exact description of the process and in addition the history of development is reviewed. Further main points are the properties of the ashes, the energy balance and mass balance. Moreover comparisons ofthe Thermal Waste Recycling Technology with other systems for the thermal waste treatment mentioned in the literature are summarized. An evaluation of the published data shows deviations in the mass and energy balances. In addition not all substances could be surely balanced. As a result sure valuation of the Thermal Waste Recycling Technology is not possible. Experiences of the technical scale plant have to be remained to be seen.
