GRANOVA is a substitute construction material made of municipal solid waste incineration bottom ash; it can be used in earthworks, road construction, noise barriers or dams, landfill construction or in concrete products
The thermal treatment of municipal solid waste generates energy and reduces waste volumes. The remaining incinerator bottom ash (IBA) from Waste-to-Energy plants is processed by classifying the mineral fraction, and separating ferrous and non-ferrous metals as well as unburnt impurities. After processing, the municipal solid waste incineration bottom ash aggregate can be utilised as secondary construction material. The main areas of application for GRANOVA are road construction, earthworks and landfill construction. In the Netherlands, GRANOVA is also being utilised in concrete products. more
