Cutting-edge technology for efficiency and sustainability.
The GMVA is characterized by state-of-the-art incineration technology and exemplary emission reduction. Since 1972, the plant has been continuously adapted and expanded in line with the latest state of the art. Today, it is one of the most modern and environmentally friendly plants of its kind and is many times below the emission values permitted under licensing law.
System description
How does a waste incineration plant work in detail and how does it become a clean thing? Which technologies are used? We provide detailed answers to these and many other questions.
Energy production
By thermally recycling waste, GMVA generates renewable and environmentally friendly energy in the form of electricity and district heating. The amount is sufficient to supply around 100,000 households with electricity.
Operating resources
In the course of thermal utilization, many accompanying processes take place in the GMVA, for which various operating resources are used. The majority of these are used for complex, environmentally friendly flue gas cleaning.
Residual materials
A full 92% of the thermally treated waste volume can be converted into electricity and heat. But the remaining residual materials are also put to good use. So that as little waste as possible is produced during waste incineration.
Facts and figures
Productivity, efficiency and sustainability are not a matter of faith, but can be clearly proven with hard figures – in black and white.
