Overview
The Rimini waste to energy plant has been operating since 1976, and began with two incineration lines, to then increase to three incineration lines in the definitive configuration in 1991, equipped with an energy recovery system.
The plant remained unchanged until 2008, when the old lines 1 and 2 were dismantled, and construction of the new line 4 began, which came into operation halfway through 2010.
During the transitional phase, only line 3 remained in operation, then stopped in the second half of 2010.
In addition to the waste energy recovery activity (R1), the Rimini waste to energy plant is also authorised for R12 and R13 recovery operations which, if necessary, allow the waste to be removed from the storage pit. For these activities, the total maximum quantity of waste sent to other destinations, including outside the province, is 30,000 tonnes per year. The maximum quantity of waste authorised for incineration is 150,000 tonnes per year.

The plant is equipped with a Continuous Emissions Monitoring System (CEMS) which has automatic analysers functioning 24 hours per day to continuously monitor the quality of atmospheric emissions. A suitably heated sample probe continuously transports a sample of the gas from the plant´s chimney to the analysis booth where the instrumentation is installed. The sample is put into the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analyser, which continuously detects the absorption spectra of the compounds to be measured. A mathematical process is used to compare the spectra with the typical spectra of the substances being investigated. The comparison makes it possible to determine the quantitative values (concentrations) of the elements and compounds analysed. Besides the FTIR system, there are other continuous analysers and meters needed to complete the fume analysis by determining other parameters such as: particles, organic compounds, mercury, oxygen, temperature, flow and pressure. A data acquisition system (SADE) also continuously provides the values obtained by calculating the half-hourly and daily averages of the concentrations measured, which are compared with the maximum admissible limit values set by the Control Bodies. These data are also provided on the group´s website, where they are automatically updated every half hour.
