Slags
About 200 kg of slag are produced per ton of incinerated MSW.The slags are sent to the Bottom Ashes Treatment and Recovery Facility (ITVE) in the Sanitary Landfill of Mato da Cruz and, after adequate maturation, can be used as inert for the civil construction, public works and eventual landscaping recovery.
Ashes and wastes from gas treatment
About 30 kg are produced per ton of incinerated MSW.Ashes and wastes from the treatment of gases are inert and sent to a cell belonging to the Sanitary Landfill of Mato da Cruz.
Recovery of combustion products
There is recovery of ferrous metals in the Plant and of ferrous and non-ferrous metals in the ITVE.Treatment of combustion gases
