TwinRec - Bridging the gap of car recycling in Europe

Selinger, A. / Steiner, C. / Shin, K.

Shredding of the dismantled wreck will remain the key process of End-of-Life Vehicle (ELV) recycling. The resulting shredder residue (SR), currently landfilled, requires appropriate treatment in the near future. TwinRec, EBARAs gasification and ash melting process, can handle that residue in one integrated process, recycling the materials and recovering the energy. The TwinRec gasifier, besides detoxification of the organic material, separates the remaining metals and large inert particles from the combustibles and fine ash, therefore minimizing the total metal recovery from the ELV. The combustible gas and the fine char are used to vitrify the ashes and fine particles, turning these into a recyclable, inert construction material. The world-wide largest installation for thermal treatment of SR is in operation since 2000, and has to date treated more than 170,000 t of that waste material. In the meantime, a total of 14 TwinRec process lines have started operation, generating a unique reference basis and experience in waste gasification with integrated ash melting. Very recently, the largest ever waste gasification and ash melting plant was ordered from Malaysia. Applied to the EU directive ELV, the recycling and recovery targets of 2006 and 2015 are met efficiently and transparently, as TwinRec is able to gasify the SR as delivered form the shredder.
