the free and hanseatic city of hamburg a
00:00:13.480 00:00:13.490 metropolis and large economic centres in
00:00:16.450 00:00:16.460 northern Germany Hamburg is also an
00:00:19.179 00:00:19.189 industrial and trade center hamburg
00:00:21.640 00:00:21.650 harbor is the second largest in europe
00:00:23.740 00:00:23.750 after rotterdam
00:00:31.490 00:00:31.500 about 3.5 million people live in this
00:00:34.670 00:00:34.680 region they work produce and consume and
00:00:38.300 00:00:38.310 by doing so they naturally also produce
00:00:41.210 00:00:41.220 waste
00:00:44.450 00:00:44.460 despite profound efforts to recycle
00:00:47.150 00:00:47.160 waste some garbage remains for disposal
00:00:51.430 00:00:51.440 and disposal in Hamburg actually means
00:00:55.819 00:00:55.829 that waste is transformed into valuable
00:00:58.490 00:00:58.500 materials for industry and energy as
00:01:00.979 00:01:00.989 well located in the harbor area in
00:01:04.280 00:01:04.290 Hamburg right beside the cool brand
00:01:06.260 00:01:06.270 bridge the waste incineration plant
00:01:08.359 00:01:08.369 rugen beggar down in short MVR a
00:01:11.270 00:01:11.280 cogeneration power plant a facility for
00:01:14.210 00:01:14.220 the disposal of waste and the recovery
00:01:16.580 00:01:16.590 of reusable materials all in one the
00:01:20.779 00:01:20.789 city of Hamburg favors short ways no
00:01:23.510 00:01:23.520 waste tourism to landfills far away the
00:01:26.900 00:01:26.910 waste is processed right where it is
00:01:28.730 00:01:28.740 produced and visit low costs at MV are
00:01:32.419 00:01:32.429 the prices for the incineration of waste
00:01:34.190 00:01:34.200 are almost fifty percent below the
00:01:35.990 00:01:36.000 average price for thermal treatment of
00:01:37.850 00:01:37.860 waste in Germany at MV are three hundred
00:01:41.660 00:01:41.670 twenty thousand tons of waste can be
00:01:43.520 00:01:43.530 incinerated per year mainly household
00:01:46.010 00:01:46.020 garbage the main share comes from
00:01:48.350 00:01:48.360 Hamburg and about thirty percent comes
00:01:50.840 00:01:50.850 from the surrounding area in Lower
00:01:52.789 00:01:52.799 Saxony
00:02:00.640 00:02:00.650 90 highly trained women and men
00:02:02.950 00:02:02.960 specialists work at MPR the share of
00:02:05.440 00:02:05.450 women is remarkably high for a technical
00:02:07.720 00:02:07.730 planet such as this
00:02:12.229 00:02:12.239 about twenty percent of the workforce at
00:02:14.699 00:02:14.709 NVR are women the common task of these
00:02:17.940 00:02:17.950 and their male colleagues is to dispose
00:02:20.429 00:02:20.439 of waste and to supply customers with
00:02:22.679 00:02:22.689 recovered materials safely and reliably
00:02:26.929 00:02:26.939 Doris Minka is the head of the
00:02:29.039 00:02:29.049 monitoring department and an advisor for
00:02:31.349 00:02:31.359 environmental questions she is an
00:02:33.690 00:02:33.700 experienced environmental engineer
00:02:35.490 00:02:35.500 seeing to it that all stringent
00:02:37.170 00:02:37.180 environmental standards are maintained
00:02:39.440 00:02:39.450 Doris is committed to ensuring that
00:02:41.699 00:02:41.709 emissions stay well below the permitted
00:02:43.770 00:02:43.780 values and she's already set new records
00:02:46.229 00:02:46.239 some of the emission values at MVR are
00:02:49.080 00:02:49.090 near or even below the detection limits
00:02:51.979 00:02:51.989 this means something with today's highly
00:02:54.539 00:02:54.549 developed analytical equipment
00:03:00.250 00:03:00.260 120 garbage trucks dump their loads into
00:03:03.110 00:03:03.120 the waste bunker every day
00:03:08.539 00:03:08.549 annalisa's eyford easily lifts five tons
00:03:11.910 00:03:11.920 of waste with her polyp crane she makes
00:03:14.550 00:03:14.560 fuel out of waste the right continuous
00:03:17.490 00:03:17.500 mixture is important shredded and
00:03:20.039 00:03:20.049 homogenized waste has the heating value
00:03:22.380 00:03:22.390 of lignite coal
00:03:30.870 00:03:30.880 this fire transforms waste into bottom
00:03:33.810 00:03:33.820 ash or slag as we call it and flue gas
00:03:38.270 00:03:38.280 at temperatures of more than 850 degrees
00:03:41.220 00:03:41.230 Celsius even dangerous dioxins and
00:03:43.890 00:03:43.900 furans are destroyed
00:03:50.250 00:03:50.260 it has been proven that less dioxin
00:03:53.259 00:03:53.269 leaves the plant then enters it when the
00:03:55.449 00:03:55.459 waste is delivered and this is good news
00:03:57.759 00:03:57.769 for the environment Doris Minka in her
00:04:02.979 00:04:02.989 special working area the labyrinth of
00:04:05.410 00:04:05.420 the flue gas treatment system here she
00:04:08.289 00:04:08.299 controls the flow of the flue gas
00:04:09.880 00:04:09.890 through the different filters right
00:04:13.869 00:04:13.879 after initial combustion still in the
00:04:16.120 00:04:16.130 first draft of the steam generator
00:04:17.920 00:04:17.930 nitrogen oxides nox ease as they are
00:04:20.620 00:04:20.630 usually called are reduced by the
00:04:22.629 00:04:22.639 injection of ammonia knox's are
00:04:25.330 00:04:25.340 transformed into nitrogen and water
00:04:27.570 00:04:27.580 substances that can be found in
00:04:29.320 00:04:29.330 abundance in the atmosphere between the
00:04:32.350 00:04:32.360 third and fourth draft of the steam
00:04:34.240 00:04:34.250 generator about fifty percent of the fly
00:04:36.760 00:04:36.770 ash is filtered out of the flue gases
00:04:38.800 00:04:38.810 after the steam generator the flue gases
00:04:41.680 00:04:41.690 pass through the first bag house with
00:04:44.020 00:04:44.030 the help of active carbon diox-- ins
00:04:46.210 00:04:46.220 fear ons and heavy metals are absorbed
00:04:48.700 00:04:48.710 and separated from the flue gas the next
00:04:54.310 00:04:54.320 stage is the HCl hydrochloric acid
00:04:56.980 00:04:56.990 scrubber in two stages acids are
00:04:59.890 00:04:59.900 scrubbed out of the flue gas finally the
00:05:03.219 00:05:03.229 so2 sulfur dioxide scrubber quicklime is
00:05:07.210 00:05:07.220 mixed with water to form a lime slurry
00:05:09.279 00:05:09.289 which absorbs sulfur dioxide from the
00:05:11.529 00:05:11.539 flue gas a second bag house serves as a
00:05:15.580 00:05:15.590 police filter to extract any remaining
00:05:18.250 00:05:18.260 heavy metals or dioxins out of the flue
00:05:20.469 00:05:20.479 gas with the aid of active carbon at the
00:05:24.850 00:05:24.860 end of the flue gas cleaning system the
00:05:26.860 00:05:26.870 draft fan pushes the flue gas into the
00:05:28.899 00:05:28.909 atmosphere keeping the steam generator
00:05:31.029 00:05:31.039 and the flue gas cleaning system below
00:05:32.770 00:05:32.780 the atmospheric pressure so that flue
00:05:34.689 00:05:34.699 gases cannot escape into the plant the
00:05:38.680 00:05:38.690 environmental contamination around the
00:05:40.659 00:05:40.669 stack is relatively low it is being
00:05:43.480 00:05:43.490 compared with the emissions of six cars
00:05:45.610 00:05:45.620 equipped with catalytic converters
00:05:48.300 00:05:48.310 measurements of emissions are carried
00:05:50.230 00:05:50.240 out with great care for all measured
00:05:53.080 00:05:53.090 contaminants the results are very low
00:05:55.149 00:05:55.159 often less than ten percent of the
00:05:57.730 00:05:57.740 permitted values
00:05:59.679 00:05:59.689 the residues of the flue gas cleaning
00:06:01.929 00:06:01.939 system are valuable materials the
00:06:04.329 00:06:04.339 desulphurization at MVR produces gypsum
00:06:07.149 00:06:07.159 of high quality of higher purity than
00:06:09.579 00:06:09.589 natural gypsum out of the flue gases
00:06:12.759 00:06:12.769 hydrochloric acid is also recovered pure
00:06:15.909 00:06:15.919 according to technical standards and
00:06:17.799 00:06:17.809 concentrated at thirty percent power
00:06:20.739 00:06:20.749 plants and the chemical industry are
00:06:22.809 00:06:22.819 satisfied customers for this product
00:06:25.350 00:06:25.360 finally scrap metals and slag remain as
00:06:28.389 00:06:28.399 marketable products or residue
00:06:30.159 00:06:30.169 respectively at MV are approximately
00:06:33.369 00:06:33.379 80,000 tons of slag are produced each
00:06:35.709 00:06:35.719 year slag can be used for example in the
00:06:38.589 00:06:38.599 construction of roads serving as a
00:06:40.569 00:06:40.579 stable support for the asphalt the heart
00:06:46.329 00:06:46.339 of the plant the control room on these
00:06:49.029 00:06:49.039 streams the measurements of all the
00:06:51.100 00:06:51.110 different process stages in the plant
00:06:52.719 00:06:52.729 are visualized the operators correct
00:06:55.419 00:06:55.429 even the slightest deviations from the
00:06:57.669 00:06:57.679 optimal conditions with a simple click
00:06:59.679 00:06:59.689 of the mouse the technical managing
00:07:05.139 00:07:05.149 director of the plant dr. highness bar
00:07:07.329 00:07:07.339 he's an expert in waste to energy
00:07:09.729 00:07:09.739 technology he succeeded in building the
00:07:12.459 00:07:12.469 MVR plant in two and a half years when
00:07:15.040 00:07:15.050 even managed to cut the cost by 20
00:07:17.109 00:07:17.119 million euros Highness var gained
00:07:20.079 00:07:20.089 experience in the construction and
00:07:21.549 00:07:21.559 operation of the waste incineration
00:07:23.319 00:07:23.329 plant at boors extra in Hamburg a plant
00:07:26.319 00:07:26.329 very similar to NVR the experience
00:07:30.669 00:07:30.679 gained there was of considerable help
00:07:33.009 00:07:33.019 during the construction of the MVR plant
00:07:35.129 00:07:35.139 ultimately saving both time and money at
00:07:38.829 00:07:38.839 times more than 600 people were working
00:07:41.019 00:07:41.029 on this large industrial construction
00:07:42.729 00:07:42.739 site trying to maintain the projected
00:07:45.339 00:07:45.349 schedule successfully while the plant
00:07:48.850 00:07:48.860 was being erected a tunnel containing
00:07:51.040 00:07:51.050 steam pipes was also being built
00:07:52.899 00:07:52.909 underneath the cool Brandt bridge at a
00:07:54.819 00:07:54.829 depth of 30 metres and a length of 382
00:07:58.119 00:07:58.129 metres to supply industrial customers in
00:08:00.850 00:08:00.860 noho with steam since the summer of
00:08:03.639 00:08:03.649 nineteen ninety nine steam at high
00:08:05.949 00:08:05.959 pressure has been delivered through this
00:08:07.629 00:08:07.639 pipe to companies in noho with the
00:08:10.029 00:08:10.039 supply of this low priced energy MVR is
00:08:13.509 00:08:13.519 hell
00:08:13.780 00:08:13.790 to secure the jobs at the plants of
00:08:15.670 00:08:15.680 these steam customers the industrial
00:08:19.000 00:08:19.010 area in noho used to be supplied with
00:08:21.400 00:08:21.410 energy by an oil-fired cogeneration
00:08:23.680 00:08:23.690 plant now the steam needed in the
00:08:26.050 00:08:26.060 industrial processes is produced by the
00:08:27.880 00:08:27.890 incineration of waste the result is that
00:08:30.730 00:08:30.740 up to 75,000 tons of heavy fuel oil
00:08:33.550 00:08:33.560 don't have to be burned anymore for tons
00:08:36.400 00:08:36.410 of waste replace one tonne of heavy fuel
00:08:38.650 00:08:38.660 oil the disposal of waste and the supply
00:08:41.170 00:08:41.180 of energy in one step for the
00:08:43.120 00:08:43.130 environment a positive effect in every
00:08:45.370 00:08:45.380 respect
00:08:47.980 00:08:47.990 the official start of celebration in
00:08:50.230 00:08:50.240 June 1999 and the northern part of
00:08:53.949 00:08:53.959 Germany has a new attraction Amburg has
00:08:57.579 00:08:57.589 a tradition of setting new standards
00:09:06.600 00:09:06.610 in 1894 the first waste incineration
00:09:10.079 00:09:10.089 plant on the European continent went
00:09:12.000 00:09:12.010 into operation the result of the last
00:09:14.280 00:09:14.290 devastating cholera epidemic in 1892
00:09:16.790 00:09:16.800 ever since waste has been incinerated in
00:09:19.980 00:09:19.990 Hamburg today the technological
00:09:23.130 00:09:23.140 advantages are apparent with visitors
00:09:25.500 00:09:25.510 from all over the world coming to MVR to
00:09:28.019 00:09:28.029 get an insight into this fascinating
00:09:30.269 00:09:30.279 recycling technology the echo management
00:09:33.300 00:09:33.310 and audit scheme of the European
00:09:34.889 00:09:34.899 community has already been passed
00:09:36.600 00:09:36.610 successfully waste incineration plant or
00:09:41.490 00:09:41.500 cogeneration plant MVR is both besides
00:09:45.720 00:09:45.730 steam MVR produces electricity this
00:09:49.110 00:09:49.120 generator can produce up to 30 megawatts
00:09:51.090 00:09:51.100 of electricity enough to supply 40,000
00:09:54.000 00:09:54.010 households with electric power for the
00:09:55.530 00:09:55.540 high voltage grid of a GW the local
00:09:58.170 00:09:58.180 utility company the engineers claim that
00:10:02.040 00:10:02.050 you can virtually see through these
00:10:03.690 00:10:03.700 stacks this is because the hamburg
00:10:06.090 00:10:06.100 authority responsible can supervise
00:10:08.220 00:10:08.230 online exactly which contaminants are
00:10:11.130 00:10:11.140 emitted into the atmosphere 24 hours a
00:10:13.889 00:10:13.899 day thanks to a direct data line to the
00:10:16.889 00:10:16.899 authority
00:10:20.309 00:10:20.319 transparency and reliance that's what
00:10:23.619 00:10:23.629 the people working at MVR stand for
00:10:26.549 00:10:26.559 samples are taken continuously from the
00:10:29.049 00:10:29.059 different flows of materials and are
00:10:31.119 00:10:31.129 analyzed to secure a high quality
