This operation is prohibited by EU legislation and international conventions.
If there is no other D code appropriate, this can include preliminary operations prior to disposal including pre-processing such as, inter alia, sorting, crushing, compacting, pelletising, drying, shredding, conditioning or separating prior to submission to any of the operations numbered D1 to D12.
Temporary storage means preliminary storage according to point (10) of Article 3.
This includes incineration facilities dedicated to the processing of municipal solid waste only where their energy efficiency is equal to or above:
0,60 for installations in operation and permitted in accordance with applicable Community legislation before 1 January 2009,
0,65 for installations permitted after 31 December 2008,
using the following formula:
Energy efficiency = (Ep - (Ef + Ei))/(0,97 × (Ew + Ef))
In which:
Ep means annual energy produced as heat or electricity. It is calculated with energy in the form of electricity being multiplied by 2,6 and heat produced for commercial use multiplied by 1,1 (GJ/year)
Ef means annual energy input to the system from fuels contributing to the production of steam (GJ/year)
Ew means annual energy contained in the treated waste calculated using the net calorific value of the waste (GJ/year)
Ei means annual energy imported excluding Ew and Ef (GJ/year)
0,97 is a factor accounting for energy losses due to bottom ash and radiation.
This formula shall be applied in accordance with the reference document on Best Available Techniques for waste incineration.
[The energy efficiency formula value will be multiplied by a climate correction factor (CCF) as shown below:
CCF for installations in operation and permitted in accordance with applicable Union legislation before 1 September 2015 .
CCF = 1 if HDD >= 3 350
CCF = 1,25 if HDD <= 2 150
CCF = – (0,25/ 1 200 ) × HDD + 1,698 when 2 150 < HDD < 3 350
CCF for installations permitted after 31 August 2015 and for installations under 1 after 31 December 2029 :
CCF = 1 if HDD >= 3 350
CCF = 1,12 if HDD <= 2 150
CCF = – (0,12/ 1 200 ) × HDD + 1,335 when 2 150 < HDD < 3 350
(The resulting value of CCF will be rounded at three decimal places).
[The value of HDD (Heating Degree Days) should be taken as the average of annual HDD values for the incineration facility location, calculated for a period of 20 consecutive years before the year for which CCF is calculated. For the calculation of the value of HDD the following method established by Eurostat should be applied: HDD is equal to (18 °C – Tm) × d if Tm is lower than or equal to 15 °C (heating threshold) and is nil if Tm is greater than 15 °C; where Tm is the mean (Tmin + Tmax)/2 outdoor temperature over a period of d days. Calculations are to be executed on a daily basis (d = 1), added up to a year.] ]
[F1This includes preparing for re-use, gasification and pyrolysis using the components as chemicals and recovery of organic materials in the form of backfilling.]
[F1This includes preparing for re-use.]
[F1This includes preparing for re-use, recycling of inorganic construction materials, recovery of inorganic materials in the form of backfilling, and soil cleaning resulting in recovery of the soil.]
If there is no other R code appropriate, this can include preliminary operations prior to recovery including pre-processing such as, inter alia, dismantling, sorting, crushing, compacting, pelletising, drying, shredding, conditioning, repackaging, separating, blending or mixing prior to submission to any of the operations numbered R1 to R11.
Temporary storage means preliminary storage according to point (10) of Article 3.
[F2The kinematic viscosity shall only be determined for fluids.]
