Services offered

We are happy to offer you all our services. Experience has shown that the following services may be of particular interest to you.

Water protection

Many of the hazardous substances required for the auxiliary systems are hazardous to water. Above certain quantities, these constitute installations within the meaning of the AwSV. The requirements of the AwSV must therefore be met. We are happy to offer you the following services:

Hazardous incident law

Due to the materials handled and in particular the residual materials produced, thermal waste recycling plants can become operating areas in accordance with § 3 (5a) BImSchG, i.e. “major accident” plants.

We have specialized in particular in the assessment of residual materials and input materials in accordance with accident law. We are happy to offer you the following services:

Exemption from the requirement to determine suitability
As the operator, you have the option of making use of the exemption from the requirement to determine suitability (Section 41 AwSV) and having the suitability of your system determined by an AwSV expert by submitting the required evidence of the system components together with a water protection expert opinion.
Content of the expert opinion
Taking into account the evidence in accordance with § 41 (2) sentence 1 (e.g. general design approvals), it is demonstrated that the installation as a whole meets the water protection requirements.
Authority's deadline
The installation may be constructed and operated as planned if the competent authority has neither prohibited the construction or operation nor specified requirements for the construction or operation within a period of six weeks after submission of the relevant evidence and the water protection expert opinion.
Content of the expert opinion
The content of the expert opinion can be any water protection-related content for which the authority requires the opinion of an AwSV expert.
Obligation to inspect according to location
Annex 5 of the AwSV specifies the inspection dates for systems outside protected areas or provisionally secured flood areas. Annex 6 lists the inspection dates for installations within the aforementioned areas.
Inspection dates and intervals
AwSV installations must be inspected before commissioning, after significant modification, periodically and when decommissioned.
Obligation to inspect
The obligation to inspect is specified for the various types of system in Annex 5 and Annex 6 of the AwSV. We would be happy to check the obligation to inspect your systems for you.
Assessment based on waste genesis
Assessment based on waste genesis The general classifications according to waste code numbers given in the KAS-61 guideline are based on a conservative assessment of all waste to be classified under this waste code. By knowing the waste genesis, hazardous characteristics can already be excluded here.
Assessment based on analysis results
Based on e.g. element analyses, a technically sound estimate of the maximum hazard potential to be expected can be made in the sense of a conservative assessment with fictitious (but real) compounds. Although this approach is also conservative, as a rule it is still possible to exclude generally assumed hazard characteristics.
