incineration plant means any stationary or mobile technical
unit and equipment dedicated to the thermal treatment of wastes with or
without recovery of the combustion heat generated. This includes the incineration
by oxidation of waste as well as other thermal treatment processes such
as pyrolysis, gasification or plasma processes in so far as the substances
resulting from the treatment are subsequently incinerated.
This definition covers the site and the entire incineration plant including
all incineration lines, waste reception, storage, on site pretreatment
facilities, waste-fuel and air-supply systems, boiler, facilities for
the treatment of exhaust gases, on-site facilities for treatment or storage
of residues and waste water, stack, devices and systems for controlling
incineration operations, recording and monitoring incineration conditions;
EU Directive2000/76/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on the incineration
of waste, Art.3(4)
co-incineration plant means any stationary or mobile
plant whose main purpose is the generation of energy or production of
material products and:
which uses wastes as a regular or additional fuel; or
in which waste is thermally treated for the purpose of disposal.
If co-incineration takes place in such a way that the main purpose of
the plant is not the generation of energy or production of material products
but rather the thermal treatment of waste, the plant shall be
regarded as an incineration plant within the meaning of point 4.
This definition covers the site and the entire plant including all co-incineration
lines, waste reception, storage, on site pretreatment facilities, waste-,
fuel- and air-supply systems, boiler, facilities for the treatment of
exhaust gases, on-site facilities for treatment or storage of residues
and waste water, stack devices and systems for controlling incineration
operations, recording and monitoring incineration conditions
EU Directive2000/76/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on the incineration
of waste, Art. 3(5)
