: The history. In 2001 OKLM Ltd was founded as a joint venture company, a 50% Ludden & Mennekes Entsorgungs-Systeme GmbH (affiliate Sutco RecyclingTechnik) and a 50% O.Kay Ltd. At the beginning of 2011 O.Kay sold its 50% interest in OKLM to Sutco RecyclingTechnik GmbH & Co. KG, thus giving the Sutco 100% ownership of the OKLM company. After that the company was renamed to Sutco UK.

: Who is Sutco. In 1985 Sutco was founded as Sutco Maschinenbau GmbH and expanded in 1991 in Poland to form the Sutco Polska (production) and 1993 the Sutco Inzynierskie (engineering office). In 2003 the company was renamed to Sutco RecyclingTechnik GmbH & Co. KG under the LM-GROUP. Sutco Polska moves to Katowice. Sutco Iberica was founded in 2006 . In 2011 Sutco acquired all OKLM shares and established the Sutco UK. From 2012 Sutco decides to become active in the international market with an agency in Singapore and an own company in Brasil since 2013, Sutco Brasil.

The association of all companies combines machine engineering and specialized plant construction. Sutco provides a wide range of differentiated recycling solutions for the municipal and private waste disposal industry.

: MRFs for commingled recyclables.

Materials Recycling Facilities built by Sutco UK provides a solution for local authorities and waste management companies to recover and recycle kerbside collected commingled recyclables. Our robust and efficient plants help operators to reduce their costs, boost their revenues, meet UK legislation and benefit the environment. In all our MRFs we use only the latest proven technology and processing know how to capture and segregate the incoming recyclables into ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals, plastics, cards, mixed papers and News. We achieve this by using a mix of mechanical screening,

air separation, metallic separation, optical sorting and minimised manual clean-up. We will often use additional optical sorting technology to produce further refined groups of plastic polymers and colour types. As well as advanced capture of all products across the plant, our MRFs are designed to produce the highest quality end-products to ensure the permanent option to sell the recovered materials to UK mills as well as overseas. We also design all our MRFs with huge processing flexibility so operators can accept a variety of commingled mixes to meet the demands of their market.

: MRFs with glass. Sutco UK ‘Glass MRFs’ are built with our standard commingled MRFs offer (see previous page) but then include the additional technology needed to remove the glass fraction from the recyclables. This usually includes a combination of extra mechanical screens, vibration/density separators, glass breakers, air separators and, if desired, optical glass sorting technology. Together, these items remove the glass fraction so the remaining recyclables are no longer contaminated by glass particles. They also

recover the paper content from the glass fraction, no valuable material is lost as a residue along the glass line. Equally paramount to this extra glass-screening technology is Sutco UK tough anti-abrasion plant design to provide the resistance needed to combat the aggressive glass content and offer reliability alongside low operating costs.

Dry recoverable material from household waste is a “speciality“ handled by special equipment.

: Substitutive fuels / RDF / SRF. The term of substitutive fuel or secondary fuel is used to mean all non-fossil fuels which may be produced from selectively extracted and productspecific industrial waste such as bulky or household waste. All this waste has a large fraction of paper, plastic, card, wood, etc. The process can be divided by two basic criteria: the composition of waste and the use of the fuels. For example, customers from the lime and cement industry have strongest requirements for the material composition in the form of no metal, no water, no harmful substances, the calorific value etc.

Sucto substitutive fuel systems are designed to meet these quality requirements by the buyers of the substitutive fuels, i.e. the treament process starts with a pre-sorting process and/or a selection of materials, followed by coarse crushing, sieve classification and a magnetic separation of iron. Wind sifters are used for separating the highly calorific material. Near-infrared sensors are required for producing quality-assured substitutive fuels, above all for sorting out ecologically harmful materials. All this requires a high degree of innovative technology for producing substitutive fuels efficiently. Thus, Sutco subsitute fuel systems prove themselves by an especially high plant standard at high flexibility and operational safety.

: Municipal solid waste / MSW is waste which is collected in a mixed and unsorted manner. Approx. 250 kg of household waste is generated in the European households per capita every year. Household waste mainly contains materials, such as: organic waste (garden and kitchen waste), paper/cardboard, mineral material, plastics, textiles, glass, metals, leather, wood, rubber and others.

netic technology, ballistic separators and near-infrared devices (NIR) and/or manual sorting processes, the material is sorted to form different fractions. The material (metals, cardboard, plastics etc.) which is sorted out is subjected to further processing or is converted to form substitutive fuel which is processed by a shredder to form a marketable fraction.

Household waste sorting and treatment systems from Sutco are designed according to the customers’ requirements. Using the througput, the composition of waste and the customer’s objectives Sutco can prepare an appropriate concept: to offer systems with mainly manual solutions which can be extended to include a fully automatic system.

The organic fraction which was screened is treated in further processes by the Sutco biological system process or by our partner who can offer simple and suitable composting technologies. The material is either treated or dried as filling material and/or used as substitutive fuel. In addition, the material can be converted to new energy. Biomethanation processes can be used to produce biogas which is converted into electricity by a combined heat and power unit. The residual organic material will be treated in composting processes.

Thanks to the excellent sorting technology, Sutco systems can achieve a high output of fractions of valuable material from the household waste. Using trommel screens, mag-

Automatic separation in connection with a high throughput provides better sorting purity.

: MBT. The process of mechanical-biological waste treatment (MBT) makes sure that household waste is disposed of environmentally beneficially. No residential waste (household, rest waste, bulky waste and industrial waste similar to household waste) has not be landfilled without any treatment. To recycle all recoverable and marketable material contained in that, advanced technology must be used for sorting.

Just in foreign countries more and more sorting plants are installed instead of mass-destroying incineration plants for separating recoverable materials, metals, waste paper, plastics etc. by trommel screens, magnetic separators, windsifters, NIR separators, ballistic separators etc. to ensure ecologically and economically useful recycling.

: Waste to energy. Household waste, industrial waste and biological waste are significant raw materials and energy sources. Recyclable material can be recovered from waste. Electricity and heat can be generated from different waste fractions.

the properties of the waste fractions are adapted to the downstream fermentation plant in a targeted manner.

Mechanical waste treatment is designed both for separating recyclable material and preparing of waste for other process steps.

In these plants, micro-organisms generate usable biological gas from the organic waste components. Biological gas, which mainly consists of methane, can e.g. be converted in a block-type thermal power station to provide electricity and heat.

Screening, classification, separation, crushing and mixing are the process steps. The combination of different process steps makes sure that

Wherever natural untreated residual material is used, the output products can be used for fertilization after composting.

: Anaerobic digestion of a liquid phase

Sutco has developed a new digestion technology BioPV (organic waste press water digestion) as an alternative digestion process which significantly improves the energy balance and the processing capacity of composting plants. The new digestion process combines compost and biogas.

Sutco succeeded in achieving a maximum gas yield from the liquid phase pressed out organic waste with lowest technical efforts during the development of their new digestion process BioPV (organic waste press water digestion). With this technology organic ingredients from the biowaste as a liquid phase are digested and pressed out in biofilm reactors for generating biogas.

: Scope of Sutco services. Tunnel composting.

Design, execution planning as well as hall component, delivery and installation of the machine equipment, composting tunnel, areation and water equipment, cleaning of exhaust air, commissioning and trial operation. The waste to be treated is generated from household waste. The waste is crushed and screened in the customer’s mechanical treatment plant (MTP). The screen overflow > 80 mm is freed of ferrous and non-ferrous metals by a ferrous and non-ferrous separator and is fed to a loading process as a fraction with a high calorific value (HCV). The iron is largely separated from the fine fraction < 80 mm by a ferrous separator. After that, the material is fed to the intensive composting system.

: Advantages of “Sutco”

tunnel composting systems:

• The automatic input process piles up the material loosely and windrows it for the composting process optimally in the tunnels without any additional compaction by a wheel loader. • Minimum power consumption for ventilation by open ventilation basements. • Low cleaning expenses by small conical nozzle openings in the aeration floor and open ventilation basement.

• Operation of the intensive composting process without waste water possible; the process water from the input material leaves the system through exhaust-air cleaning. • Pressurized ventilation ensures optimum aeration of the material and removes deposits in the ventilation nozzles. • Good control of the process by small self-contained units in the tunnels.

Minimum power consumption, low cleaning expenses etc.

: Commercial and industrial waste (C & I)

is waste from commercial enterprises and institutions, providing a large fraction of valuable resources for the global raw material industry. Sutco industrial waste systems have a high degree of automation to sort valuable material such as Pe, PET, PP, wood, film, paper, nonferrous and ferrous material. Using miscellaneous core units such as trommel screens, magnetic separators, ballistic separators and NIR separators, Sutco RecyclingTechnik can provide uniquely separated

flows of material. Manual sorting equipment is used to sort polymers, paper and film again to provide optimal quality. In addition, this system technology makes sure that other input material (such as construction debris and bulky waste) can be treated, if required. Besides a pure recovery of valuable material, our treatment equipment has also been designed for producing substitutive fuel by the use of near-infrared devices.

Up-to-date treatment means multi-tasking. The objective can only be achieved by components which can be combined flexibly. 19 25 21

Paper and card.

The waste paper volume of paper, cardboard and cartons amounts to approx. 16 million tons per country in Europe and is thus the most significant waste stream. The special recycling achievement is the production of a high basic quality for a reuse in paper production. Interfering materials must be reduced carefully; just here the requirement „Recycling is producing“ is particularly apparent. Using advanced screening and sorting equipment, Sutco plants can produce de-inking ware with a proper quality.

08.09.15 17:52

: Construction and demolition waste (C & D).

This category is mainly a mixture of construction debris, excavated earth, plastics films and containers, iron parts and others. In Sutco waste treatment plants the secondary valuable raw materials contained in that are separated. Pre-sorted by a mobile excavator, the waste is separated to form different grain sizes by a specially robust multi-stage trommel screen and is manually separated via the powerful conveying equipment by machines (e.g. metal separator, windsifting equipment etc.). The recyclable fraction such as stones, sand, earth etc. are recycled.

Commitment: Valuable raw material must be separated.

: Timber treatment.

: Mattress sorting.

The treatment of biological mass such as by timber treatment plants for the production of timber chips and timber pellets.

With landfill space at a premium within the waste industry, mattresses are now becoming a major problem. Sutco has developed mattress sorting systems that supports sorting and separating of the mattress components.

Sutco constructs plants for treating timber. Timber is crushed, dried and processed to form timber chips and/or timber pellets. The use of sustainably harvested forest timber for the generation of energy is neutral to the climate since the amount of carbon dioxide the trees retain from the atmosphere before it is released to atmosphere.

Through a series of mechanical and manual stages, foam, fibre and metals are separated and stored ready to recycle or re-use.

Modern treatment is multitasking, only with flexible components this target is achievable.

: EFW Pre-treatment. In the process before the household and bulky waste is first separated large items are removed and crushed before returning to the process. The ferrous metals are then sorted via a separator. For producing a fuel as uniformly as possible it is important that the household and bulky waste

fractions are sorted. The remaining material must be mixed well, i.e. a homogenization is a requirement for a uniform incineration. After mixing, the waste is transported via belts to the tailings bunker for incineration.

: Bottom ash from waste incineration (slag).

Slag or ash are residues from incineration processes either from the power station area (coal-fired or lignite-fired power plants) or e.g. from furnaces and/or waste incineration plants. The slag from incinerations are especially significant for the protection of the environment. When waste is incinerated, approximiately 250 to 350 kg are generated from each ton of waste. They

have (as the waste itself ) a most different composition as far as the content of mineral materials, iron scrap, water and heavy metals is concerned. Therefore, the slag must be treated prior to use as building material in road and street construction. Sutco RecyclingTechnik has erected several plants which satisfy the requirements for this use.

The treatment of slag and ash is one of the most sensitive tasks in the recycling industry.
