Short Description

The Facility of Mechanical Recycling and Composting Waste (EMAK)of Ano Liosia in Attica, is the biggest MBT plant in Europe and is developed at a total area of 178,000 m2. The Unit consists of 14 buildings which covers an area of 47,840 m2 and treats about one third of the daily waste produced in Attica.

According to recent data the facility treats 800 t/day of MSW and 50 t/day of green waste (brunches and pruning) instead of 130 t/day that have been estimated in the initial design. Currently, no sewage sludge is treated in the Unit.

The main Components-Units of the MBT facility are the followings:

  • Reception
  • Mechanical Shorting
  • Composting Unit
  • Refinery-maturation
  • Environmental Pollution Control Unit

The Composting Unit consists of a Rapid Composting Bio-cylinder (ENVITEC SA technology) and composting channels in a closed hall.
