Venice 2016 - 6th International Symposium on Energy from Biomass and Waste
The sixth edition of the Venice Symposium will take place from 14 to 17 November 2016 in Venice and will focus as per tradition on the advances made in the application of technologies for energy recovery from biomass and waste and to encourage discussion in these fields.
The previous edition of the Symposium was attended by nearly 580 scientists and operators from approximately 62 different countries.
The Symposium is organized by the International Waste Working Group (IWWG) with the scientific support of the Universities of Queensland, Padova, Hokkaido, Rostock , Trento and Hamburg University of Technology.
Venice 2016 will include the following topics: Biomass and waste characterization as a potential energy source • Renewable fuel • Anaerobic digestion • Refuse-derived fuel / Solid recovered fuel • Thermal treatment • Economic aspects • Decision tools • Policies and Legal aspects • Climate change and Sink • Ecotoxicological aspects and Health issues • Public acceptance • Experiences and new developments • Developing countries.

Vecoplan - Planning and implementation of complete processing plants in refuse derived fuel production
In order to reduce the costs involved in the energy-intensive production of cement, many manufacturers are turning to refuse-derived fuels (RDF), considerably reducing the proportion of expensive primary fuels they would normally use. Solid fuels are being increasingly used - these might be used tyres, waste wood or mixtures of plastics, paper, composite materials and textiles. Vecoplan provides operators of cement plants with proven and robust components for conveying the material and separating iron and impurities, efficient receiving stations, storage systems and, of course, efficient shredders for an output in various qualities.
