Risultati finali

Documents, reports (15)

Synthesis report of WP4

Synthesis report of WP4.

Geomelt technology

Report on Geomelt technology and demonstration test trials.

Memorandum outlining the output of task 3.1

This report will show the waste streams chosen for demonstration and the technology platform on which the processing of each waste stream will be demonstrated. The justification for the use of particular platforms for selected waste streams will be outlined.

Report compiling the identification work of WAC (subtask 4.1.1, M4.1) and the requirements in terms of characterisation (subtask 4.1.2)

Report is compiling the identification work of WAC (subtask 4.1.1, M4.1) and the requirements in terms of characterisation (subtask 4.1.2). This report is a common document in which each participating country will provide some input.

Synthesis report of project

Collate the final outputs from WP2, WP3 and WP4 into an overall synthesis report for a technical readership, and a shorter summary report for a wider readership. The Synthesis report will seek to achieve the following: Ø Act as an entry point for understanding the content and nature of other project deliverables. Ø Enable mutual sharing of experience in the management of specific waste types across EU countries through recognition of common wastes and common challenges. Ø Summarise key strengths and weaknesses of different thermal treatment routes and their appropriateness and feasibility for specific waste streams. Ø Set out understanding of the characteristics and properties of thermally treated wasteforms and their viability for geological disposal, and implications for the safety case. Ø Establish preferred routes and potential mutual sharing of thermal treatment facilities to open management routes and opportunities for waste management across Europe, including identification of uncertainties, further required R&D, and next steps.

Test report covering all demonstrations including a description of the process, the waste treated and the operational process parameters such as process evolution versus time, power input and temperature of melt

Test/trial observation report covering all demonstrations including a description of the process, the waste treated and the operational process parameters such as process evolution versus time, power input and temperature of melt. A material balance across the process will be calculated and conclusions of the process operation will be drawn to include a performances assessment based on various criteria such as quality of the containment matrix, secondary waste production and organics destruction. The following demonstrations and observations from the trials will be summarised in the report (delivered in month 25); · SHIVA (CEA/AREVA) · In Can Melting (CEA/AREVA) · Thermal Gasification (VTT) · GeoMelt (NNL) · Hot Isostatic Pressing (NNL) · Active Hot Isostatic Pressing (USFD) · VICHR (VUJE) D3.2 will include a results and observations of the test trials carried out across the 6 treatment routes. Analysis will be coered in WP4 (D4.4). WP5 will include a summary and synthesis of lessons learned.
