Transformation organic and inorganic waste into briquettes

I received a comment to the blog post thanking earlier and I must say rather I am grateful for having people like you reading something that I put here.

Isidro In this commentary notes that "It is then necessary to make society aware that they can generate less waste without reducing the quality of life." With which I wholeheartedly agree. Moreover the quality of life can be improved by the reduced impact of waste on the environment, due to lower raw material extraction, through the creation of jobs that come with new technologies for managing waste, etc.

Isidro also says that "it is necessary to disseminate that proper treatment can transform many waste a valuable commodity." This is absolutely true, but unfortunately there are still people who refuse to consider recycled materials of lower quality than virgin raw materials. Of course this "quality" depends on the intended use to give each subject, but in many cases the recycled materials meet or exceed the technical specifications for many applications. Finally comment

that Isidro company engaged in waste recovery using www.brikettieren.de solutions. This company has a very interesting site with information on the production of wood briquettes and metal mainly. Videos and information available for download. Although the website is available in several languages, including English, the only downloadable documents are in English and German.

review the implementation of Royal Decree 9 / 2005 on contaminated land

reproduce below Ambientum an article which says that Asegra balance makes the application of Royal Decree 9 / 2005 on contaminated land in www.ambientum.com

Posted on 28/05/2008
Spain Preliminary soil. These facts provide us with enough perspective to take stock of its implementation and identify their advantages and disadvantages.

one hand, this Royal Decree, waited a long time, especially for those regions with the highest population and level of industrialization, can be described as

 a good rule, which sets clear requirements comparable to their counterparts more demanding European Union, and that puts us way ahead of the Directive establishing a framework for soil protection, which is currently under development. 

allowed to initiate a workflow, create a culture of protection of soil and has provided the State government the tool needed for a long time coming for the recovery of contaminated soils.

However, it may improve some aspects of this Royal Decree which makes it impractical in some cases, and will be analyzed below, along with the main consequences has been approved: 

the lack of detail in Annex I , which establishes the relationship of soil potentially polluting activities, makes the scope is extremely wide, in some cases surprisingly affecting economic activities small and with reduced risk. 

this has led to the Autonomous Communities which have been through the preliminary status reports, huge amounts of information from all these activities. And while most communities have devoted significant resources to manage and analyze this information, the task is supposing they invest a huge amount of time at the expense of expected progress in other critical tasks for the proper management of contaminated soils. 

the adoption of this bill created the expectation of the emergence of a new market niche for companies in the environmental sector. Consequently companies were created providing services, mainly the investigation of soil, without the knowledge and resources. Given the risk that services in this area were provided by companies without sufficient capacity, several initiatives by the State government: a technical framework normalized by publishing research guides soil or risk analysis, and other developed rules to regulate such activities. From ASEGRE as an organization that promotes professionalism in the environmental sector, we support all initiatives to ensure minimum standards of performance and quality of companies operating in that sector.

Real Decree laid down in Annex III Criteria for consideration of a soil as contaminated, a soil will be declared as contaminated when determining unacceptable risks to human health protection or in case of ecosystems, due to the presence of contaminants. Therefore gives a value determining the risk posed by existing pollution compared to its intended use as decontamination costs are high and should be decontaminated only when necessary and to the level where the risk is acceptable. To do so plays an important role risk analysis as a tool of choice. However

this tool, besides being applied by a specialist consultant, está en manos del poseedor del suelo, y por lo tanto es susceptible de ser utilizada en beneficio de determinados intereses. Por ello es primordial crear una herramienta de análisis de riesgos con unas normas de uso que garanticen su objetividad, es decir que independientemente del técnico que lo aplique, el resultado sea siempre el mismo.

 El hecho de que en nuestro país se esté produciendo una rápida transformación del suelo industrial en suelo urbano, sumado a la renovación de las instalaciones industriales, hace particularmente importante una adecuada aplicación del artículo 3.5. del Real Decreto, en el que se establece que en los suelos en los que se haya desarrollado alguna actividad potencialmente contaminant must submit a status report when requesting a change of activity or use.

 But the reality is that it does not always apply this requirement appropriately and is resulting in decommissioning projects of industrial facilities, in addition to not conduct an investigation of industrial ruin itself so that it has discretion to segregate materials resulting from demolition and make their management as hazardous waste or construction and demolition waste, no further investigations of the soil or made with poor quality, with the result that a significant fraction of contaminated soils is handled improperly together with construction and demolition waste.

Therefore, with these comments, the Association of waste management companies and Special Resources, ASEGRE, which are represented the main contractors for research, risk analysis and remediation of soil, wishes to contribute to a better and more effective application of this rule.

New European Waste Reuse

The European Parliament approved the new Waste Framework Directive.

As a new Directive requires all member countries in conducting prevention programs within their respective planning on waste, introducing a hierarchy proceedings to consider the landfill as a last resort (this is not entirely new).

these prevention programs must include quantified objectives and indicators for control marking style management systems and environmental quality.

In 2014 prevention targets will be set at European level mandatory in 2020.

In 2020 you will need to reuse and recycle 50% of municipal waste and 70% of construction waste and demolition.

biodegradable waste will be collected separately and composted.

Energy recovery of municipal waste shall compliance with minimum levels of efficiency.

waste producers start to have more responsibility with the new directive. May be considered as waste producers, according to each Member State, a ny person or entity that develops, manufactures, processes, treats, sells or imports products professionally. This new conception of the figure of the waste producer would include the acceptance of returned products and waste generated at the end of the life of these products.

We will have to read it carefully.

Murcia in Spain In Spain

Spain is the tenth in the world in paper recovery in the world with a total of 5.7 million tons annually. So say REPACAR (English Association of Paper and Board) and ASPAPEL (English Association of Pulp, Paper and cardboard).
In Spain the average consumption of paper per person per year is 176 kg, exceeding by 21 percent to the average of the European Union countries, which amounts to 139 kg per capita. Thus, the 4.9 million tons of used paper and cardboard are recovered for recycling in Spain represent savings in landfill volume equivalent to 46 large football stadiums like the Bernabeu and the Nou Camp filled to the brim . It also avoids the emission of landfill sites of 4.1 million tonnes of CO2 which is more than 1 percent of total emissions produced in the country, according to ASPAPEL.
recycling rate, which in 2003 stood at 61.6 percent, grew in 2007 to 84.6 percent. In Spain, recycles nearly 85 percent of paper consumption, which puts us above the average for the European Union, established in 56.3 percent and in the lead group with Austria, Sweden and Germany.
The process of recovery and recycling of paper is a closed, integrated and sustainable. Trees produce wood fixing carbon dioxide and it is stored on paper. With recycling extends the life of the cellulose fibers obtained from wood, optimizing the use of this natural resource. Thus, closes and balances sustainable paper cycle, part of a renewable and natural raw material is wood. The process of recycling of recovered paper is obtained by mixing with water and agitation. The cellulose fibers are separated from the staples, plastics and pass the paper machine, where they form a wet web, which will eliminate the water until the paper roll.

recycle more than half of packaging consumed Vote

This follows from Ecoticias article published in the 16/05/2008, entitled "Spain recycles more than half of packaging consumed and already exceeds the targets set by the EU in 2008" which is reproduced below:

Spain recycled in 2007 for 56.1 percent of the 4,000 million household packaging (plastic, cans, 'bricks' and other cardboard and paper) that hit the market , so has already exceeded the target set by the EU in 2008 (55 percent ) as advanced today in the Czech capital, Prague, Melchor Ordonez, the director general of Ecoembes ('www.ecoembes.com' non-profit company in Spain responsible for the Integrated Management of Packaging Waste ( SIG. Ordoñez participates with other leaders of the autonomous entity and directors of the Environment in the Fourth Congress 'Pro Europe' on recycling, which includes management systems the so-called 'Green Dot' of ten European countries and Canada, and meets every two years to exchange experiences and knowledge on new strategies for resource management. The results of last year, which will be presented next July in Madrid, show that the English recycled 1.16 million tons of containers last year , p ut together 1.3 million recovered tons, ie, prevented 63.5 percent of all containers used ended up in landfills, either because they were recycled (56.1 percent) or because they were recovered (burned to generate energy that is channeled to the network electric 5 percent. Europe marked a recovery rate of 60 percent this year. "We recovered two out of three base plates and recycle more than one in two," said Ordonez, who recalled that the results exceed the minimum in a year marked by the Law on Packaging and Packaging Waste (LERE) and the European directive on this matter. By types of materials have also been exceeded digits dialed. So the past year with 74.4 percent recycled paper and cardboard (the target was 60 percent, 32.5 percent of plastic (target, 22.5 percent, a 63.2 percent metal target, 50 per cent and 38.2 per cent of target timber, 15 percent.

SPAIN, 'BRONZE MEDAL' IN EUROPE

As the goals for 2008, Ecoembes expected to recycle up to 59 percent of all packaging placed on the market and the recovery of between 64 and 65 percent. Respect to its position of Spain within the 'Pro Europe, "Ordonez said all the figures place Spain in third place, behind Germany and France , with the difference that the English began much later recilcar . "We have a turnover of 350 million euros, 12,500 companies participate in the system and about 100 workers on staff," he said. Our level of recycling is between 50 to 60 per ceinto, in line with France, Ireland and Holland. Meanwhile, Belgium, Germany, Austria and Luxembourg in the lead group, have a higher recycling level to 60 percent. "Ecoembes born in 1998 from the entry into force of the English legislation that forces companies to put packages in the market to manage their recovery. Since then it has recovered 8.9 million tonnes, equivalent to filling 650 football stadiums like Barnabéu Santiago, with an average of 110 stages each year. In any case, Ordonez said that in recent years has recycled more than ever and, in particular 2007 has been a year "break." The number of citizens who said serparar some remaining at home has risen from 70 to 85 percent in one year, and tons of 10 to 12 per inhabitant per year, representing a growth of 20 percent -added -. Basque Country, Catalonia. Navarra and La Rioja, are the regions that have a higher level of recycling and recovery . "As the ceiling recycling in Spain, but could be reached much higher levels, Ordoñez advised against a rate higher than 80 percent for reasons economic and environmental. "A high figure is not economically or environmentally sustainable rentalbe because the level of CO2 emissions, for example by miles collection and delivery of waste far exceeds the benefits. We must find a balance that is reasonable and in any case meet at least you say the European directive, "he said.

CO2 from the incineration

precisely about the current controversy regarding the emsiones carbon dioxide (CO2) generated by the incineration of packaging that are not recycled (5 percent in Spain, said English law requires a recovery (energy recovery through waste incineration) of 5 points over recycling. "Ideally, all resources devoted to recycling, but we can not forget we have a legal obligation to value of the waste, "he said. Regarding the plastic bags and the Government's intention to seek an alternative solution or limiting their use, said waste is" very bright suffered numerous attacks its environmental impact. "But they are necessary. The outlets are not prepared to do without them and the houses either. Do not believe the solution is not a levy on them because in the end he moved the consumer price and are still used. The stock returns could be a solution, "he reflected. In late 2007, Ecoembes had more than 12,350 member companies, of which a 51 percent belong to the food industry, 8 percent, beverages, up 7 percent to health and beauty and a 5 percent to the field of cleaning and maintenance. For a decade, the implementation of the system has led, according to its leaders, the creation of 6,000 direct jobs and 19,000 were also made steps to reduce the weight and volume andthe containers. Ecoembes receives its resources from contributions from the companies participating in the SIG and the Coester extra funding is to local and regional implementation of the collection compared to traditional garbage collection. Currently, only 6 percent of all packaging placed market is outside the GIS, which allows 43.6 million people participate in the system of collecting cardboard and paper yu to 42.8 million, in the light container.

Spanish cement generates

The following is an article that discusses the cement emissions, as targeted by environmental groups. It shows that emissions produced by cement plants in Spain insignificant compared with other European countries, while stressing that many other activities also generate the dreaded and dangerous dioxins.

A CIEMAT researcher says that emissions from cement insignificant

05/08/2008 21:07:00 Source: Reuters - yahoo.com - ecoticias
investigator Centre for Energy, Environment and Technology (CIEMAT) Maria Luisa Ruiz said today that dioxin emissions to air from the cement industry are "insignificant", mean that Spain is ten times less than the maximum allowed.

So what this expert said today during his speech in the context of a conference on sustainable development and energy recovery in the cement sector held in Oviedo, which has presented A study by the CIEMAT, in collaboration with the Ministry of Environment and the Center for Scientific Research.

The report was performed by analyzing 70 percent of the kilns operating in Spain between 2000 and 2003 also concluded that the emission values \u200b\u200b"no differences" in the combustion of fossil and other alternative resources, from waste such as meat meal and tires. Maria Luisa Ruiz

explained that dioxin emissions are caused by stationary sources like industrial thermal processes, but also in other "vague" and exhaust pipes, cigarettes, incineration of corpses and burning household waste, "not being controlled."

Meanwhile, the managing director of the Education Foundation of Cement and the Environment (CEMA), Dimas Vallina, has stated that the replacement of traditional fuels with waste does not increase "in no case" emissions to the atmosphere can get to reduce "dramatically" when the latter are components of biomass, neutral at the time of counting emissions.

He highlighted the benefits of this technique as a complementary tool to those used by the Administration in the management of waste.

commented in Spain the average rate of replacement of oil by other non-fossil fuels in 2007 stood at 6.5 percent, versus a European average of 18.

By region, highlight the implementation of this technique in Valencia, Andalusia and the Basque Country, with percentages in the three cases above 10 percent.

In Asturias, said, this is a technique still "nascent" which will only be used in central Aboño, "once Tudela Veguín make the necessary investments."

However, Dimas Vallina regretted that so far the two existing cement plants in Asturias, both of the above empresa- no hayan empezado aún a utilizar residuos como combustibles alternativos a los tradicionales.

En cuanto a los residuos utilizados para sustituir el coque de petróleo en este tipo de industrias, se ha referido a las harinas cárnicas, seguidas por los neumáticos usados, los plásticos, los aceites y la madera, aunque ha reconocido que existen acusadas diferencias entre comunidades autónomas en la elección del combustible.

Vallina ha recordado que la Fundación CEMA suscribió en 2004 un acuerdo con la patronal y los sindicatos del sector cementero para incorporar técnicas de mejora medioambiental, "con especial énfasis a los temas de valorización energética y control de las plants. "

Have you considered that this sector is" heir of an old image that has changed radically in the last decade with investments of over five hundred million euros to improve the environmental performance of plants. "

In that regard it ensured that all English cement already have the Integrated Environmental Authorization-required to operate, "or are about to get it" and referred to the central Aboño one of those that already have such permission.

Thus , and within the framework of the conference, the technical environment of Veguín Tudela, Fernando Tresguerres, said that although there is been published in the BOPA, Tudela received such authorization from the Ministry of Environment of the Principality before the deadline, on 30 April.

Each year 524 kg of municipal waste, a figure that rises 6 percent annually

reproduce an article published in the 29/04/2008 www.ambientum.com on the production of urban waste in Spain and the upward trend in Europe suffers. The original source is Tecma Tem.

Spain generates 524.5 kg of municipal waste per capita, lower than the average for the countries of the European Union amounted to 567 kg per capita, according to the latest study of environmental indicators, Ministry of Environment Environment, MAPA. Thus, in 2007 it is estimated that nearly 45 million generated English A total of 24.75 million urban waste.

Despite the implementation of the principles of reduce, reuse and recycling (the three Rs), municipal waste still increasing by 6 per year, an issue of particular concern to this sector, which will meet in the first Hall of Recovery and Recycling, SRR, within the framework of TEM TECMA 08, International Fair of Urbanism and Environment, organized by IFEMA and call to be held from 10 to 13 June next at Feria de Madrid.

means municipal waste generated in private homes, shops, offices and services as well as all those who are not the classification of dangerous and that by its nature and composition can be likened to those produced in the above places or activities.

amount of waste per household in Spain

The amount of waste attributable to each household is closely related to the production system, economic growth and consumption patterns. According to the latest environmental indicators of the Ministry of Environment, the Autonomous Communities had higher per capita value of household waste were Ceuta and Melilla with a gauge of 2.30 followed by Canarias (2.23) and Baleares (2.02) . At the other extreme, less waste is generated Galicia (1.05), followed by Castilla y León a (1.08).

other hand, according to the latest study by the INE National Statistics Institute, domestic waste is collected without separating it recycles just 9.8 percent, while 74.8 percent is removed and 15.4 percent is dedicated to composting (production of natural fertilizer). In contrast, previously separated waste can be recycled 63.1 percent, eliminating 31.6 percent and is intended for composting by 5.3 percent. Hence the importance of raising awareness among citizens of the need to separate waste at home.

The INE also said that he as municipal waste management companies in Spain collected 28.1 million tonnes of waste a year . The same source notes that withdraw 484 pounds of mixed municipal waste per person per year, plus 18 kilos of paper and cardboard, and 10.9 kilos of glass. Of total waste generated in Spain, 21.6 million tons were mixed waste and 6.4 million tonnes to collection.

In 2020 the EU urban waste generated equivalent to the area of \u200b\u200bLuxembourg

Compared with the EU15 countries (the 15 European Union countries more developed), Spain ranks seventh in the recycling of urban waste , just below the Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Belgium, Luxembourg and Sweden, according to the Statistical Office of the European Commission (Eurostat).

Another revealing statistic is estimated that by 2020 the member countries of the European Union will reach 680 kg of municipal waste per person, representing an increase of 20. So that if esparciéramos on the ground all waste generated, a figure that is estimated to reach 340 million tons, it could cover the area the size of Luxembourg with a thickness of 30 centimeters, said Eurostat.

municipal waste generation has grown over the past year results and similar behavior was observed in all European Union countries. At present, the urban waste management in advanced societies has undergone a major change to adapt to the principles of sustainable development.

Within the first Hall of Recycling and Recovery, SRR will find the development of clean technologies, which allow the recovery of waste through reuse and recycling policies, and the use of waste as energy source.

plasma technology for waste

Article published in consumer.

Destroy all kinds of debris with temperatures above 1,500 degrees and can generate power, but its development is still in its infancy

The application of plasma gasification technology, as its advocates would provide the system with modern, clean, efficient and long duration, capable of treating all types of waste, even the most difficult, such as tires, hazardous materials, sediment, plastic, etc. The process also generate energy and various products that can be used. However, its development is still at an early stage, and critics say it is an expensive process and not as clean as its proponents advocate.

* Author: By ALEX FERNANDEZ Muerza
* Publication Date: April 7, 2008

This technology is currently used mainly to destroy hazardous wastes, for its clean and efficient way to kill them. So some companies are working to use this system as a system of urban waste recovery.

The system consists of a reactor with torches in their power to inject high voltage and some kind of gas such as oxygen, nitrogen or argon. This process can generate temperatures near the surface of the Sun (over 1,500 º C) and obtain the status of plasma, ie a gas whose atoms have lost or gained electrons. Thus, the links of the molecules are broken and waste in the form of atoms are harmless.

Subsequently, the residual organic matter is converted into a synthesis gas (syngas) composed of hydrogen and carbon monoxide can be used for energy or liquid fuels. For its part, the inorganic wastes are melted in the bottom of the reactor, obtaining a ceramic material that can be devoted to the manufacture of abrasive products such as high temperature insulation (rock wool) or filling the bases of roads.

This process can generate temperatures near the surface the Sun (over 1,500 º C)

In any case, Julian Uriarte, Chairman of the Technical Association for Waste Management and Environment, ATEGRUS, stresses that the implementation of this technology in the recovery of waste is still in incipient state, and is currently employed mainly to destroy hazardous waste.

For example, the town Palencia Carrión de los Condes recently authorized the construction of a plant, mainly recycling tires, which includes among its treatment systems technology. Those responsible, the Hera Group Holding, is one of the pioneers in this technique in Spain, and has a R & D Center in Castellgalí (Barcelona) for improving this system.

Meanwhile, the town of As Somozas Coruña recently began building a plant that incorporates plasma technology from U.S. company Solena to end industrial wastes such as paints, solvents and tires. The ship, at a cost of 60 million euros, will remove six tons of waste per hour, and will generate 15 megawatts of electricity, enough to supply 15,000 homes, according to its leaders. Also, the company plans to put up similar facilities in the province of Cordoba Bélmez.

As to international examples, the plasma gasification plant world's largest is in the "Eco-valley" of Utashinai (Japan). With technology from U.S. company Westinghouse Plasma, is able to transform up to 280 tonnes of waste per day. Reviews


system
Not everyone agrees to support this technology. Ecologists in Action believes that it is actually a covert incineration system, and therefore also the risk of forming dioxins, furans and other products of incomplete combustion processes that trigger cancer.

However, proponents of this claim that such facilities comply with environmental requirements, dramatically reducing emissions of greenhouse gases and other harmful compounds such as sulfur dioxide, mercury and nitrogen oxides.

Moreover, the Ecologists in Action Experts add that these plants require a lot of electricity and water, which may jeopardize the supply for human and agricultural use.

Jesús Rincón, chemical Scientific Research Council (CSIC) asserts that while the resulting gases can produce energy, "only pays for a very small proportion of utility costs incurred during the process. "However, this expert defends the technique for processing hospital waste as hazardous or radioactive, which require a more demanding. It is an expensive process, according to a study by the Union Europe, which estimated an expenditure of body 150 and 300 euros per tonne of waste.

Therefore, environmentalists point out that projects of this type of plants have been rejected, for example in 2003 in the town of Alcorisa located in the mining area of \u200b\u200bTeruel.

In short, from Ecologists in Action calls for the implementation of a waste treatment system that is firmly committed to the reduction reuse and recycling, avoiding this type of facility.

"Harnessing nuclear waste as fuel?

based research Various plasma gasification look even take advantage of nuclear waste. The Global Nuclear Energy Partnership (GNEP), an international cooperation program promoted by the Department of Energy United States, working on a new reactor that would use the waste as fuel, producing up to 100 times the energy of conventional reactors and generates 40 % less waste.

Meanwhile, scientists at the Russian Research Center Kurchatov Institute of the Austrian Johann Radon and the Technion Israel Institute of Technology working in the so-called "fusion plasma gasification" (PGM in the acronym), which combines high temperatures and low radioactive energy to transform waste.

Biodiesel used cooking oil

Article published in consumer.

Avoid the environmental impact of throwing down the drain and is an environmentally friendly fuel that can even occur in a home, albeit with limitations

Fry an egg can feed the stomach but also the repository of the car. Conveniently collected and processed used cooking oil can become fuel diesel. Its use is doubly eco- al evitar que contamine el medio ambiente cuando se aprovecha como biocombustible. Diversos sistemas permiten incluso producirlo en casa, aunque para consumirlo con plenas garantías se aconseja su elaboración industrial. Por su parte, cada vez más municipios españoles ponen en marcha proyectos para potenciar este biodiésel, aunque su desarrollo todavía es incipiente. En este sentido, la colaboración de los consumidores es fundamental para su desarrollo.

Ventajas del biodiésel de aceite usado

El correcto reciclaje del aceite usado, como se apunta en la Escuela de Reciclaje en el Hogar Consumer Eroski, passed by depositing it in a suitable container and bring it to specific locations for collection, as collection points.

However, the lack of awareness, ignorance, or the few facilities for collection are the vast majority of consumers to pour it into the trash or down the sink, which can pose a serious environmental problem and public health . For starters, this residue contributes to the reproduction of potential harmful bacteria in the pipes, the blockage of the same to solidify and the generation of odors in the home.

But that's not just the problem: one liter of oil can contaminate domestic thousand liters of water and cause major disruptions in natural ecosystems. For example, you can attach to the gills of fish, and on the surface of rivers create a layer that impairs oxygenation.

Therefore, many experts recommend using this oil used to produce biofuel. Jose Santamarta, head of the World Watch Institute in Spain says, "is easy, accepted and is the most reasonable way to produce biodiesel, solving a problem of environmental pollution."

A single quart of oil can contaminate domestic thousand liters of water and cause major disruptions in natural ecosystems

also use diesel fuel allows reducing production costs, and it is a good raw material, according to a study by a team of scientists from the University of Castilla la Mancha and the University of Antioquia (Colombia), which has shown that does not generate more emissions CO2 pure oils.

However, the production of this type of biodiesel is rather small, due to various reasons of technological, economic, or regulatory. Also in Spain, the big oil companies, which are not interested in selling this type of biodiesel, largely control the distribution at gas stations. Buses
waste oil biodiesel

Buses are vehicles idóneos para la utilización de este tipo de biodiésel y de hecho, diversas ciudades españolas cuentan entre su flota urbana con autobuses ecológicos que ya lo consumen.

El autobús puede ser un ejemplo en el que se unan diversas prácticas ecologistas. Los consumidores, además de utilizar este medio de transporte público, pueden reciclar el aceite usado de sus casas para que se convierta en su combustible. Así lo ha visto Stagecoach, una de las compañías de autobuses más importantes del Reino Unido. Sus responsables reducen el precio del billete a los usuarios que entreguen su aceite usado a la empresa, que utiliza vehículos con este tipo de biodiésel.

¿Se puede hacer homemade biodiesel?

The process for converting waste oil into biodiesel is not very complicated in theory: basically consists of mixing it with alcohol such as methanol. Therefore, propose initiatives to transform consumers used oil from their kitchens in free biofuel vehicles. In this sense, the Internet can even find sites that detail how to do it home. ESOC

Antony Berretti The driver declined to give an example that the idea is possible. To this end, it was proposed tour several European countries, including Spain, with a van converted by himself, so he could fill up your tank with vegetable oil leftovers from restaurants.

Meanwhile, some companies offer even sell it to consumers and business to do it. For example, the U.S. company Greasecar Vegetable Fuel Systems conversion kits sold each priced between 500 and 1,300 euros, and according to its makers is amortized over several months to obtain free fuel.

In Internet you can find sites that even details how to do so homemade

The British company Green Fuels is also directed to the domestic market with FuelPod2 biodiesel processor. With a price of about $ 3,000, this set is capable of producing, according to its leaders, up to 50 liters of biodiesel per day from various oily residues. Its size -60 inches in diameter and 1.40 meters high, are designed so you can be stored in a basement or garage.

However, some experts point out the limitations of producing this type of biodiesel in a home. Gloria Etxebarria, technical Renewable Energy Department of the Basque Energy Board (EVE), explains that the raw material is a "potpourri", as some oils are more used than others, more burned, with different impurities, some are sunflower, soybean others, etc.

So add this specialist EVE, although it may be true that these systems operate on a small scale landlords are not able to produce a fuel with the EN14214 standard, which specifies how it should be and accept biodiesel manufacturers. In this way, a biodiesel that does not meet this criterion would lose the guarantee in case of vehicle breakdown.

also Emilio Font de Mora, Head of Biofuels Association of Renewable Energy Producers (APPA), ensures that the home production may even be illegal if not assume a fairly strict set of requirements in the environmental (the Methanol is a dangerous product) and tax (you have to declare the production, but after the exemption).
Proyectos ecológicos y solidarios

El reciclaje del aceite usado puede dar lugar también a ejemplares experiencias que combinan no sólo valores medioambientales, sino también solidarios. Cinco vecinos en paro del barrio Suerte de Saavedra, en Extremadura, fundaron en 2004 una cooperativa con el doble objetivo de crear puestos de trabajo y proteger el medio ambiente recogiendo el aceite usado para su posterior transformación en biodiésel.

Por su parte, la ONG Madre Coraje, junto al Ayuntamiento de Málaga, puso en marcha en 2007 una iniciativa para recoger el aceite usado de esta ciudad andaluza para convertirlo en jabón y mandarlo a Perú. El aceite que no se utiliza para este fin, una vez filtrado, sold to companies that are responsible for turning it into a biodiesel for city buses in the city of Málaga. In this way, it also gets money to continue funding projects that Oxfam has in Peru.

biodiesel with waste oil in Spain

The production of biodiesel with waste oil in Spain is carried out by public institutions or universities that collect the waste and carry biodiesel production plants, as responsible for APPA.

Thus, more and more English municipalities to carry out interesting projects for recycling waste oil for processing into biodiesel. The system usually involves the installation of special containers for consumers arising from the used oil have been stored in an airtight container like a plastic bottle. It must deposit oil from frying, roasts, canning, fat spoiled or expired, and in no engine oil, lubricants, mayonnaise, sauces or prepared or mixed with food waste or other waste. Subsequently, a specialist in charge of transport and processing into biodiesel.

For example, the municipality of Madrid and Segovia Loeches San Cristobal recently put up a pilot project runs until 2009. The consistory-filter funnels distributed free to citizens to keep the oil in a plastic bottle. Once filled, is placed in special containers located in different parts of town, since the system even lets you recycle the container.

citizen collaboration is essential. Consumers can ask their consistory if carried out any similar project, and if not, request

Meanwhile, another unusual initiative, which also incorporate elements of environmental education, the Institute is The Espeñetas Orihuela, Alicante. His students recycle used oil from their homes and make it into the central laboratory into biodiesel. The fuel obtained is then used in the heating furnace of the institute.

Normally, municipal officials tend to report publicly on the implementation of these projects, since the cooperation of citizens is essential. In this sense, consumers can ask their consistory if carried out any similar project, and if not, apply.

For plants in Spain using 100% waste oil and to some extent with other oils, are: Biodiesel Asthor in Gijón; Biofuels De Castilla, Valdescorriel (Zamora); Bionor Transformation in Berantevilla (Álava), Bionet Europe in Reus (Tarragona); Bionorte in San Martín del Rey Aurelio (Asturias) and Del Valles Stocks in Montmelo (Barcelona).

recycled plastic food contact

reproduce here an article published in consumer on the issue of chemical contaminants in recycled plastics used for packaging food, which, in my opinion, should be prohibited because they can make a lot of things before food packaging.

The EU strengthens efforts to reduce the risk of recycling plastic containers that come into contact with food containing chemical contaminants

The use of recycled materials in the food industry is nothing new. Paper, cardboard and glass are recycled for use as food packaging. Although it can be transferred to food substances are largely impervious to contaminants and easy to clean with the temperatures used in the recycling process. Most vulnerable is the plastic, along with paper recycling process which requires specific measures to avoid the presence of chemical and microbiological contaminants.

containers for oils, mineral water, mayonnaise, sauces, vacuum packaging, grocery bags, milk and yoghurt pots for ... Many are the uses of plastic as food packaging, and recycled plastic. The reuse of this material in the food industry means taking into account many considerations, all aimed at reducing the risk of contamination that may spoil the product. One risk is that plastics are a suitable material so that migration takes place, ie no transfer of non-polymeric components from the plastic into the food it contains.
protection and less pollution


The recycling process is fundamental to eliminate possible contaminants in the plastic material

To avoid situations like this, the European Union has to strengthen surveillance and control measures with the EC regulation 282/2008, which also aims to harmonize the rules in Member States. In most European countries have not been set, for example, specific rules on the use of monomers and other materials that make recycled plastic. Hence the need to regulate aspects together until now remained unresolved.

In this regard, and to ensure the same level of safety of recycled plastic materials, provides that only monomers are added and additives (substances of small size, together with polymers, plastics are) authorized in quantities determined to prevent migration to plastic limits are higher than deemed safe. By their physicochemical properties, their effectiveness is required for polyolefins is 100%. And is that one of the sources of contamination can be, precisely, the previous use has been made of container.

Hence the importance of recycling, mechanical treatment, one of the strengths of the legislation, which calls for very careful in the process in which waste is shredded into small pieces and cleaned. This step is of utmost importance to ensure eliminating any risk of contamination, and migration that occur are lower than those found in trials of stimulation. Under supervision



One of the conditions required by the legislation requires industry to specify, through labeling that the packaging contains recycled plastics, and has a declaration of conformity. Who ensures that it meets all the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA, in the acronym), which will be necessary to evaluate the safety of the recycling process. It will also be in charge of making an assessment of risk management on whether or not to approve the recycling process. A PECULIAR EQUIPMENT



Reuse plastic as food packaging must take into account special considerations. On the one hand, the bottles of this material are more likely than glass to absorb pollutants that may affect the food. According to the report 'Points to Consider for the use of recycled plastics in food packaging: Chemistry Considerations ", prepared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), analytical protocols should be allowed to demonstrate that contaminant levels are low. In this sense, it is necessary to establish an acceptable level of dietary exposure to chemical contaminants.
