The waste incineration Dürnrohr (official name thermal waste recycling plant Zwentendorf / Dürnrohr ) is a waste incineration plant of EVN waste recycling Niederösterreich (formerly AVN ), a subsidiary of EVN in Dürnrohr .

Technical structure and data

In the plant, household waste is primarily incinerated from the federal state of Lower Austria . 90% of the material is delivered by rail. The combustion takes place by means of grate firing . The heat released in this process is used to generate steam in a waste heat boiler , which is used in the adjacent Dürnrohr power plant to generate electricity and district heating.

The thermal output of the first two lines is 60  MW each , and that of the third line 90 MW. The total capacity in the final stage will be 525,000 t / year.

The operation is carried out by 75 employees.

history

Following Dürnrohr's selection from 24 locations, the construction was preceded by a poll , which resulted in the approval of 74% of the community population.

The first two lines were built between 1994 and 2003, the third line between 2004 and 2010. The construction was carried out by Porr . The first two lines went into operation in January 2004 after a construction period of almost 18 months and an investment volume of 145 million euros. Trial operation of the third line started in August 2009.
