- Experimentation
Applying the required knowledge by the realization of a demonstrative system for plastic materials recovery which can increase the Recycling Market.
Pilot System:
Why
Concrete results: applying the required knowledge by the realization of a experimental-scale system; observing and verifying environmental performances for plastic materials recovery and exploitation; integrating a systemic model for plastic materials recovery as preparatory step for the decisional process; fitting a systemic model of recovery at the pre-existing systems of RSU treatment as to gain the technologic innovations to be integrated within the management efficiency system; definition of presuppositions for the implementation of ARIEL’s process on a real scale.
Where
Within the garbage management process in the ASM Prato System, line of process within the mechanical treatment of RSU.
How
The quantity which is the testing object: around 15.000 tons, considered as a minimum volume but generally important as to: make an effective evaluation of the process conditions, not underestimate the industrial applications limit, quantify the gained results.
Testing time: 18 months
Expected Recovery Performance: 3-5 % of plastic materials on RSU
Demonstrative Feature:
It represents the main action the overall ARIEL’s schedule is focused on, having the scope to point out the technological solutions applicability found, as to integrate a recovery process within the system of RSU treatment. It aims at achieving the accomplishment of the max environmental vantage.
