  1. AS Epler & Lorenz Hazardous waste management

  2. AS Epler & Lorenz • Private share company • Founded in 1991 • Specialized in hazardous waste • First hazardous waste management company in South-Estonia • Workers: 35 • Amount of waste handled in 2013: 13 000 tons • Subcompany Kesto, came into possession in 2002

  3. Vision and mission Vision • A leading waste management service provider in South-Estonia • A trademark that is equalized to high-grade service Mission • To help estonian companies and people keep the environment healthy and clean from hazardous waste

  4. Activities • Collecting hazardous waste • Incineration of hazardous waste • Producing alternative fuel • Recycling non-hazardous waste • Environmental cleaning works

  5. Collecting hazardous waste from people - collecting points of hazardous waste Collecting hazardous waste from partners who have made agreement Collecting hazardous waste

  6. Incineration of hazardous waste • Incineration plant, that responds to the European Union directive 2000/76/EEC • Three step flue gas cleaning system and permanent measuring • Capacity 2000 tons per year

  7. Incinerating waste in 3 conditions: • Liquid waste – oils (inc PCB) , chemicals, pesticides etc • Solid waste – pesticides, chemicals, medical waste, medicines etc • Paste waste – adhesives, paints, mazut etc

  8. First hazardous waste incineration plant in Baltic States • First testing in 1990, reconstructed in 2006 • A tree-stage dry cleaning systemfor flue gases: • First stage: 2 types of sorbents in powder condition, dosed into the flue gasesfor solidification of hazardous substances • Second stage: separating solid substances by passage of flue gases through a fabric filter • Third stage: lowering hazardous substances by adsorption on special activated coal filter

  9. Producing alternative fuel • Liquid fuel – produced from liquid hazardous waste by mechanical mixing (oil, inks, paint, solvents, waste from photographic industry etc). • Solid fuel (Hot-Mix) – produced from solid hazardous waste by shredding and mixing (packages containing dangerous substances, absorbents, filter materials etc).

  10. Composting waste using Ag-Bag technology Fuel tanks cleaning Removing old heavy fuel depot Removing and decontamination of contaminated soil Environmental cleaning works

  11. Ag-Bag composting • Technology that uses a low-cost vessel with forced aeration. • A high degree of process control that minimises many composting concerns such as: • Odour • Leachate • Weather related problems • Oxygen supply • High operating costs

  12. Recycling non-hazardous waste • Sorting packaging waste and construction and demolition wastes in purpose using materials making new products (plastic, metallic, glass, paper etc)

  13. Usageof SOREME • Started testing in flue-gas cleaning process • The beginning of the test: April 2014 • Waste being handled: medical waste, medicines, paints, oils, chemicals • Process status: running • Heavy metal measuring in flue gases done in May 2014 – haven`t recived the results yet • Measured content of Hg before testing – 0,000- 0,043 mg/cu.m • Limit of Hg in flue gases – 0,05 mg/Nm3

  14. Dioxine filter rebuilt for the use of SOREME sorbent
