"waste co-incineration plant" means any stationary or mobile technical unit the main purpose of which is the generation of energy or production of material products and which uses waste as a regular or additional fuel or in which waste is thermally treated for the purpose of disposal through the incineration by oxidation of waste as well as other thermal treatment processes ...[+++] if the substances resulting from the treatment are subsequently incinerated;

If co-incineration takes place in such a way that the main purpose of the plant is ║the thermal treatment of waste rather than the generation of energy or production of material products , the plant shall be regarded as a waste incineration plant.

All processes directly or indirectly linked to the process units blast furnace, hot metal treatment units, blast furnace blowers, blast furnace hot stoves, basic oxygen furnace, secondary metallurgy units, vacuum ladles, casting units (including cutting), slag treatment unit, burden preparation, BF gas treatment unit, dedusting units, scrap pre-heating, coal drying for PCI, vessels preheating stands, casting ingots preheating stands, compressed air production, dust treatment unit (briquetting), sludge treatment unit (briquetting), steam injection in BF unit, steam generation plant, converter BOF gas cooling and miscellaneous are included

It specifies that when manufactured from ruminant bone material, gelatine must be produced using a unique process that ensures that all bone material is subjected to an alkaline treatment of saturated lime solution (pH > 12,5) for a period of at least 20 days with a heat treatment step of 138 °C minimum during at least four seconds, after having been finely crushed and degreased with hot water and treated with dilute hydrochloric acid (at minimum concent ...[+++]ration of 4 % and pH

The two types of activity are actually covered by the Directive on waste incineration, in that they involve the thermal treatment of waste for the purposes either of elimination (incineration), energy production or production of material products (co-incineration).

Both activities are covered by the ‘incineration of waste’ directive on the grounds that they relate to ‘thermal’ processing of waste, either with a view to elimination (incineration) or with a view to producing energy or material products (co-incineration).
