The studied MSWP is equipped with a municipal solid waste SU
with a capacity of 150,000 Mg per year in a three-shift operation.
The solid wastes delivered to the MSWP are initially pre-sorted
to remove large elements (e.g., furniture, electronics, foil and cardboard)
and then directed to the sorting line, where the waste
stream is divided into four fractions: the >160 mm fraction is sent
directly into the cabin for manual waste sorting together with the
90–160 mm fraction after preliminary air and magnetic separation;
the 20–90 mm fraction, which primarily consists of
biodegradable components, is sent to an indoor CU; and the 0–
20 mm fraction is landfilled. All of the wastewater generated in
the sorting process (ca 0.7 m3
/d) was initially directed to the PP;
however, since March 2012, it has been directed to the MP (
