Overview
The plant in Maniago, Pordenone deals with the storage and treatment of special hazardous and non hazardous liquid, solid, powdery and muddy waste, through which it produces alternative solid and liquid fuels.
The platform consists of:
• Acceptance, control and sampling of incoming materials (each package)
• Laboratory for waste approval, reception, production control
• Storage section for hazardous and non hazardous waste
• Liquid fuel production sector
• Solid fuel production sectors
• Contaminated packaging sorting and treatment sector
• Water collection sector
• Transfer and repackaging sector
• Screening and control sector
The waste received in the plant can undergo different types of processing according to laboratory instructions: unpacking, repackaging (for both solid and liquid waste), amalgamation, homogenisation, grinding, screening, sorting and separation.

During the approval phase, the methods of packaging and handling of the materials that the customer will commit to the plant are defined. Any waste collected by Recycla is collected through closed packaging or boxes with a lid in order to limit odour emissions or the creation of dangerous vapours.
The waste admitted to the plant, whether packages, bins or bulk, are always subjected to control and analysis; each package, bin, tank of incoming material is opened, checked and sampled to verify compliance with the existing approvals and the subsequent reception phase. After the control phase, waste is labelled and stored in the designated areas waiting to be treated.
Waste storage takes place exclusively inside warehouses with reinforced concrete flooring equipped with floor waterproofing systems. All sectors of waste processing are under depression and equipped with an air treatment system in order to prevent the emission of potentially harmful or polluting substances.
- define the suitability of waste to be managed at the site when being approved;
- verify the compliance of the incoming material with what has been approved
- based on the characteristics of the material, carry out merger tests aimed at issuing the instructions for production
- constantly check the quality of the material during production
- certify the suitability for shipment of fuel and waste not suitable for the production of alternative fuels
The material obtained is stored in stirred tanks until shipment by tanker truck.
The rooms are placed under suction and the sucked air is treated in a system equipped with a bag and activated carbon filter. The sector is equipped with a deluge fire-protection system while the machine mounts a foam fire extinguishing system. The entire sector is designed to act as a containment tank in the event of spillages.
Besides the grinding system, transport systems, storage warehouses and fire extinguishing systems installed by law, additional foam extinguishing systems activated automatically by video surveillance systems have been installed.
The plant is equipped with automatic weighing systems and electronic control systems. The entire system is equipped with an additional foam fire extinguishing system.
The processing sector in which the water is collected is equipped with 6 stainless steel tanks of which 4 have a net capacity of 30 m3 and 2 have a net capacity of 15 m3. The tanks are installed inside 2 containment basins and the vents are connected to the air treatment system.
◦ waste packaged in packaging unsuitable for processing in the solvent sector
◦ waste not usable for fuel production and therefore destined for thermodestruction
