The objective of the ISWA-TU Summer School is to provide advanced knowledge in the field of energy recovery from waste to an international
audience of existing and emerging solid waste experts. The participants will learn that together with prevention and recycling measures, energy recovery from waste contribute significantly to reaching the goals of sustainable and integrated solid waste management.
In particular, two technologies – energy recovery through direct combustion and utilization of refuse-derived fuels – will be discussed with special emphasis on material and energy flows, waste characterization, practical applications and case studies.
Participants study best practices in:
➢ Analysis and design of direct
combustion
➢ Refuse-derived fuel production, coprocessing and quality control
➢ Waste-to-Energy systems
Lectures will be held by professionals from TU Wien, members of ISWA and the ISWA Working Group on Energy Recovery plus representatives from Geocycle (LafargeHolcim Ltd) and Ramboll A/S (Denmark).
Please note: the programme is subject to minor changes.
