e - Pre-treatment
Here, waste is separated according to its size, geometry and composition. An amount of 16,000 tons a year of recyclable materials is obtained. Several advanced automatic systems play a part in this task: bag openers, trommels, ballistic separators, optic separators, magnetic separators, Foucault separators, film aspirations, presses, etc., combined with manual sorting at strategic points of the process. The separated organic matter is sent to the biological processes, while the combustible waste is converted into heat and electricity.
You can follow the journey of the main fractions according to the color coding:
Yellow: Initial feeding and separation systems Green: Small or organic fraction (0-70 mm) Blue: Medium or light packaging fraction (70-200 mm) Red: Big or combustible waste fraction (> 200 mm)
