feasibility and means of converting your

waste can into energy as well as related

expenditures or revenues.

Our technological expertise in combustion,

thermochemical gasifi cation and waste

pyrolysis enables us to develop the right

system for you and support you during its

commissioning and operation. Our solu-

tions will allow you to cut your energy and

disposal costs, reduce your use of fossil fu-

els and, thus, boost your energy effi ciency

long term.

Does your company produce waste that

has to be disposed of complicatedly or even

at a cost? Our solutions will enable you to

recover heat from your waste and return it

to your manufacturing process as heat or

power.

As your technology partner, we will sup-

port you from the feasibility study and the

economic feasibility study up through the

development and operation of the system

in your company.

From the Feasibility Study to Operation

We will study the technical feasibility of po-

tential conversion systems for your wastes

and determine their cost effectiveness. In

the process, we will draw on our extensive

portfolio of analysis methods, test systems

and simulation tools. Within a few weeks,

you will receive reliable information on the

Fraunhofer Institute for

Factory Operation and

Automation IFF

They will contribute their extensive project

experience and their latest research findings

to turn innovations into your success.

Other R&D Services

In addition to technical and economic fea-

sibility studies of heat recovery from waste,

we provide other services, including:

– Assessments of existing waste recovery

methods and systems with the goal of

optimizing or changing the feedstock,

– Formulated concepts to integrate waste

(heat) recovery in your manufacturing

process,

– Detailed engineering, general planning

and commissioning of a pilot waste

recovery system,

– Assistance when applying for funding

for R&D of waste recovery.

Rely on Our Experience

The Fraunhofer IFF’s Process and Plant

Engineering Business Unit has years of

experience recovering heat from waste. Our

core expertise is fluidized bed combustion

and gasification systems, entrained flow

combustion systems and gas conversion

systems. We have an extensive portfolio

of test equipment with thermal outputs of

5 kW to 1 MW at our disposal for these

technologies.

These technical options are supplemented

by advanced simulation systems and special

software applications.

Rely on our top team of experts in process

engineering, process equipment and plant

engineering, instrumentation and control

engineering and computer simulation.

Using Instead of Disposing of Waste

We have studied the feasibility of heat

recovery from numerous wastes from a

wide variety of industries:

Industry and manufacturing

– Organic wastes from auto motive

manufacturing

– Rejects from paper recycling

– GRP waste from rotor blade manu-

facture

– Waste from metal coating

– Distillers dried grains from beer brew-

ing and pomace from wine making

– Sorted animal feed waste

– Sorted mixed construction waste

Energy production

– Digestate from biogas plants

– Dried solubles from bioethanol pro-

duction

Agriculture and forestry

– Straw

– Chaff

– Landscaping material

– Meat and bone meal

– Chicken excrement

Sewage treatment

– Sludge

Do you not see your waste listed? Per-

haps it contains inflammable compo-

nents. We would be glad to check that.
