Managing hazardous waste for the energy sector
Disposal and cleaning services for energy providers
The energy sector is the pulsing heart of our modern society. Without it, everything stands still. The essential function of energy provision, however, is accompanied by a variety of hazardous materials and waste that need to be handled safely and in an eco-friendly way. In addition to the hazardous waste from traditional energy generation that is typical of the industry, the ongoing energy transition and the removal of old coal-fired power plants is creating further hazardous waste types. Yet even the generation of renewable energies is not free of hazardous waste. In all of these cases, REMONDIS Industrie Service is the partner of choice - both when it comes to collecting, transporting, recycling and disposing of waste as well as managing waste from the energy industry.
Wastes typically found in the energy sector
- waste oil
- ashes
- pickling agents
- chemicals and chemical substances
- contaminated soils
- lyes
- fluorescent tubes
- solvents
- contents of oil & fuel separators
- oily materials
- slag
- different types of sludge
- waste containing sulphur
- aerosol cans
- transformers
- garage waste
“With our hazardous waste plants, we generate energy at all times. We are not just a service provider, we are part of the energy industry ourselves and therefore know the needs of the sector inside out.”
Chiara, Sales Office Manager
Waste management partner for the energy sector as a whole
As diverse as the actors in the energy sector in Germany are, so too are their waste and disposal technology requirements. REMONDIS Industrie Service looks after them all: from hard coal and lignite-fired power plants, gas networks and gas-fired plants to waste incineration plants, hydroelectric power plants, solar parks and (offshore and onshore) wind power plants through to biomass energy plants. Unless radioactive waste is involved, we also deal with hazardous waste from nuclear energy plants.
How the energy sector benefits from working with REMONDIS Industrie Service
Hazardous waste disposal
We offer full disposal and treatment solutions for all hazardous waste generated in the energy industry (with the exception of radioactive waste).
Consulting
Our experts support you in all waste management aspects - from concept development to the implementation of waste separation and collection.
Logistics
We provide you with suitable bins and specialized containers for solid, semi-solid and liquid waste and collect these with our specialized vehicles.
Water expertise
We treat your industrial water and use it to supply you with process water. By doing so, we help you to conserve valuable natural resources.
Industrial cleaning
From power station boilers, to cooling towers, all the way through to storage tanks – we remove all the dangerous deposit build-ups and handle the disposal of the hazardous materials.
Dismantling
We ensure that plant parts that are no longer needed are dismantled reliably, quickly and professionally. Plus the recycling and disposal of the waste materials, of course.
Circular economy solutions for the energy revolution
The switch to climate-friendly energy from renewable sources such as wind, water and solar power has the additional advantage of producing less hazardous waste. However, even renewables are not yet completely clean. For example, cured polycarbonate and silicon coatings are used in wind turbines and photovoltaic systems, some of which pose huge challenges for recycling. The REMONDIS Group is a technological pioneer in this field and is developing circular economy solutions for the energy revolution. Moreover, hazardous waste, such as used oils, solvents, aerosol cans, greases, oiled equipment and empty containers, continues to be produced during the operation of 'green' facilities. Therefore, it is important to us to recycle and dispose this kind of waste properly. Some of this waste is transformed by us into substitute fuel, which is reused to generate energy in various power plants and industrial facilities.
Recycling and disposal of waste from coal-fired power plants
The energy revolution is in full progress, but coal and lignite-fired power plants continue to make a significant contribution to the energy supply in Germany. The problem with generating energy from coal is not only the high CO2 emissions but also the large volumes of by-generated products, such as fly ash, boiler ash, melting chamber granulates, boiler sand and (FGD) gypsum, which are produced during the combustion of brown and hard coal. REMONDIS Industrie Service specializes in recycling and disposing of these sometimes hazardous waste materials. Recyclable power plant by-elements from hard coal-fired power plants, such as gypsum (from flue gas desulphurization) or ash, are returned to the material cycle for further use. We safely dispose of non-recyclable materials such as ash from lignite-fired power plants in our power plant residue landfills.
Cleaning and dismantling plants and supply networks
Our services for the energy sector also include extensive cleaning services. These include the cleaning of process water (or the replacement of process water) as well as the removal of hazardous deposits from power plant boilers, cooling towers and storage tanks, including the associated disposal of pollutants. We clean gas pipelines using pigging and thus help to ensure that the supply networks continue to function properly. REMONDIS Industrie Service also takes care of the safe dismantling of plants including the removal of hazardous waste such as contaminated soil and building materials.
