Stellinger Moor waste incineration plant
The waste incineration plant Stellinger Moor was a waste incineration plant (MVA) of the Hamburg city cleaning on the Schnackenburgallee in Hamburg - Bahrenfeld , near the border to Stellingen . It was put into operation in 1973 and shut down in 2015. In the 42 years of operation, a total of around 7 million tons of waste was incinerated.
history
The Stellinger Moor MVA was the first waste incineration plant to be rebuilt in Hamburg after the war. (The most recent plant up to this point was the one on Borsigstrasse, which opened in 1931.) It was built from 1970 to 1973 and had two incineration lines. In 1979 it was expanded to include a tipping hall and a sorting hall with a waste shredding system. In 1989, a new waste gas cleaning system was installed using the wet scrubbing process, as the original system using the dry sorption process did not meet the more stringent requirements of the regulation on incineration and co-incineration of waste ( 17th BImSchV ) that came into force in 1990 . In 1995 an exhaust gas purification system was retrofitted. For a short time the MVA Stellinger Moor also had its own nearby wastewater treatment facility, which, however, proved to be uneconomical and was largely shut down in 1998.
Most recently, the MVA was supplemented in 1997 by a block-type thermal power station that generated electricity and district heating and fed it into Hamburg's public networks. As it was inefficient, it was dismantled again in 2013.
Shutdown
In the period from 2012 to 2014, Hamburg city cleaning investigated how it could meet its need for waste incineration capacities in the future. At this point in time, the Stellinger Moor waste incineration plant was the only waste incineration plant fully owned by the municipal cleaning authority; In addition, there were disposal contracts with the Rugenberger Damm waste incineration plant (Stadtreinigung held a 25% stake in this), Borsigstrasse and Stapelfeld (both owned by private companies). Of these facilities, the Stellinger Moor MVA was also the oldest; it was environmentally outdated and relatively expensive to run. At the same time, the amount of residual waste removed from Hamburg had been declining for years, which can be attributed to an increase in the recycling rate , so that city cleaning wanted to reduce its incineration capacity. In 2014 she decided to only incinerate the garbage in the MVA Borsigstraße and the MVA Rugenberger Damm and to buy back the MVA Borsigstraße from Vattenfall and EEW Energy from Waste and to increase the share in the MVA Rugenberger Damm to 45%. The contract with the MVA Stapelfeld was not extended, the decommissioning of the MVA Stellinger Moor was decided in July 2015.
The garbage fire of the second incineration line was extinguished on June 12, 2015, the garbage fire of the first incineration line followed on June 21, 2015. The city cleaning department had already reduced deliveries to the plant in the weeks before so that the garbage bunker was completely emptied by the end of operation. At the last 91 employees of the city cleaning were employed at the location, who could be completely transferred to other positions (also outside the city cleaning). No redundancies were issued for operational reasons.
Dismantling and reuse of the site
Hamburger Stadtreinigung intends to build a “Center for Resources and Energy” (ZRE) instead of the incineration plant. This should include a household waste sorting system , facilities for the production of biofuels and substitute fuels as well as for the discharge of valuable materials . Some components of the waste incineration plant will continue to be used, in particular the waste bunker, which can only be dismantled with great effort, the dumping hall and some adjacent parts of the building. The exhaust gas purification and the scrubbers were sold to a company along with the building envelope and dismantled by the company.
Data and facts for the 2013 operating year
- The Stellinger Moor incineration plant burned a good 124,000 tons of waste.
- It produced more than 38 million kilowatt hours of electrical energy, of which almost 20 million kilowatt hours were given to third parties.
- The MVA Stellinger Moor has also generated more than 66 million kilowatt hours of district heating through cogeneration - energy that supplies the Volksparkstadion, the O2-World Arena and around 14,000 Hamburg households.
- The 27,100 tons of slag produced were sold as building material.
- All secondary waste was recycled in an environmentally friendly manner.
- The pollutant content of the continuously monitored exhaust gases is far below the legally prescribed limit values.
The substances produced during combustion and exhaust gas cleaning are either dumped or, if valuable raw materials such as hydrochloric acid , gypsum or scrap metal are involved, sold on.
