Incineration
Taking the heat out of complex waste

Advantages for the producer, the disposer and the environment alike

Incineration greatly reduces risk potential and hazardous substance levels. Problematic substances are destroyed by virtually complete oxidation, leaving carbon dioxide, water and ash and slag that can be safely disposed of. Emissions of hazardous organic reaction products, such as dioxins or furans, can be avoided. The volume and weight of the waste is reduced by up to 90 percent. The incineration of waste also conserves resources as the energy released during the process is used to produce steam, with some of the resulting electricity being fed into our site networks. This reduces consumption of valuable primary energy resources.

This is what we can incinerate for you

Our facilities can be used for a diverse range of residual products from the chemical industry including solid and liquid waste products from research, production and processing. These might be, for example, distillation residues, chemically contaminated packaging, chemical residue, production waste or highly polluted wastewater. We can also dispose of waste that needs to be incinerated in drums, or waste materials containing high levels of chlorine, sulfur, phosphorus, bromine, iodine, PCBs, silicon or dioxins. We also operate a unit for the incineration of sewage sludge and other comparable types of sludge.

We take care of your waste

The legislator prescribes the compilation of precise information on the waste before it can be disposed of. We therefore first of all require a waste schedule from our customers with details of the waste to be handled. On the basis of this information we can advise you whether disposal of the waste in question is technically feasible in our plants. If so, as the next stage, we prepare the requisite documents for our customers (proof of disposal). Once the disposal process has been completed, notification is sent to the customer and the authorities as confirmation.

Data required for waste schedule

This should include information on

  • Quantity
  • Composition
  • Chemical and physical properties
  • Chemical and physical properties
  • Chemical and physical properties


If required, we can also help our customers with the implementation of any necessary analysis work.
