| For centuries mankind has affected
environment by its activities. Today, however, the worldwide progress of
industrialisation has increased the impact on environment alarmingly.
Also the growing population and the
ensuing increase in waste arisings globally require application of modern
integrated waste management solutions.
The population of the world produces
more than 1 billion tonnes of waste per year and we have to realize that
waste generation must be reduced considerably and the remaining waste amount
must be treated in an environmentally safe way.
One of the ways of treating waste
in an environmentally safe and controllable way is waste incineration.
Babcock & Wilcox Vølund
supplies waste-to-energy plants that are capable of overcoming waste disposal
problems and thus Babcock & Wilcox Vølund forms an important
part of the integrated waste management solution.
