In November 2006 we are on the dubious links between the bankrupt developer MBA Herhof Environmental Technology, the Irish raider company Treasury Holdings and the Greek construction company Helector received. The issue is not off the table. News tug Ireland and Greece - the new owner Herhof company - without regard to loss of the technically intact MBA Rennerod Westerwaldkreis (formerly built by Herhof Environmental Engineering). District Weinert feared the worst, the insolvency of the system (report of the Rhein-Zeitung 10 March 2007, see below). This raises the question: What is the purpose of the triumvirate Solms-Dublin-Athens? If the MBA Rennerod be the new reference system, after the MBA Osnabrück has problems (see previous reports)?
less legal, more technical problems, the East Frisian fermentation MBA Wiefels has at Jever. Sand repeatedly destroyed the pumps. In our calculation, the the tenth German MBA, which has declared a state of emergency (Article in the East Frisian newspaper on 9 March 2007, see below) would be.
The poor reputation of EnBW fermentation in Book Heilbronn had almost brought an Australian plant engineers around two orders in the English Lancashire. In Lancashire they had previously been surprised by the Herhof bankruptcy. Herhof was there originally to build a dry stabilization. The Australian Global Renewables now spoke with the tongues of angels one on decision-makers in Lancashire, you master the MBA after the German ISKA fermentation process, the stench was holding a German problem. Whether creating the Australians, which was screwed up in Germany? It's about a 25-year contract over 2 billion pounds sterling. The Australians are familiar with fire. The MBA had on Australian Eastern Creek in Sydney on 12 May 2006 a fire in the area of the conveyor belts in the composting hall. However, the large-scale plant will have stunk. They processed 11% of the waste from Sydney.

George is managing director of the landfill Schneidenbach, a subsidiary of the disposal Association Vogtland. The MBA has been built by Nehlsen after Herhof Environmental due to insolvency, the project is no longer running could. The whole package of fire protection measures is part of the approval process to Georgia and was "required by the Regional Council imposed". Lower standards would have been higher insurance premiums result.
wheat and chaff to separate. It hurts, it burns, it will cost jobs and the citizens must pay more in the transition phase. It is the price of the gold rush atmosphere in which successful and some not so good ideas without proof were purchased several years of practice by local authorities. The devil is usually in the details. The remaining waste is not accepted as, units are often just as promised, but used incorrectly and optimism seemed ten years limitless. Saving money is sometimes counted more than technical expertise. Did not we ever before? Müllpyrolyse? Thermoselect - pilgrimage site, the mayor and district administrators? Community decision-makers is not easy. If the incinerator in the end be the safer route? All-inclusive package for an additional charge?
And here's the latest rumor. According to unconfirmed information, the operating company cut landfill stream in the case against Treasury Holdings has not been delivered because of an MBA comparing closed. A sum was not disclosed. Probably a smart money for the nerves.

"climb the garbage fees?
argue After sale of shares of two man-MBS partner - District: I'm deeply troubled
The structural and economic problems with round the waste recycling (Stabilatanlage Rennerod) have intensified. Still threatens the collapse of the mechanical-biological stabilization system (MBS) Westerwald GmbH & Co. KG, in which the circle is involved.
Westerwaldkreis. Threaten the citizens of higher garbage fees in the district? District Administrator Peter Paul Weinert to the Westerwald Zeitung: "I am very worried." For there is dispute between two of the three partners, the shares in the mechanical-biological stabilization system (MBS) Westerwald GmbH & Co. KG with. The Environmental Services Bohn GmbH (Buseck / Hessen) has bought the company from the group man who previously held 26 percent of the shares of MBS. 26 percent of the shares has the Westerwald region, 48 percent of the Treasury Holdings Germany GmbH (Solms-Niederbiel). The latter argue now with the firm of Bohn to the shares, the previous owner, Emil GmbH & Co. KG (b. K. Langenbach) had been offered Treasury Holdings and the Westerwald region. "It's about the binding nature of this offer," said district administrator Peter Paul Weinert for WZ inquiry. The Social Contract, Weinert, rooms for these cases the shareholders certain rights ein.Weinert speaks of a bad situation: "We sit as in Skat in third there, and have to watch how the other two fight." Weinert had indeed offered his mediation services, but so far without success. In particular, that even a question of who is allowed because the value of the assessment by Bohn purchased shares. The District is concerned in this context remains an insolvency of the MBS, and thus created problems for the Trockenstabilatanlage in Rennerod in which the waste of the Westerwald district is used: "Until a year ago we had marketing difficulties for the RDF, now it is going well. "
risk management
It is linked to the garbage disposal in the existence of this company in Rennerod said Weinert. If there should occur a serious problem, even the best waste disposal of the circle is at risk. Weinert: "If we go again with our garbage on the market, we would have to pay about half as much again." Currently, you pay 114 euros per tonne, in other places are 200 € and more common. Get it to MBS insolvency, had to count every household with higher trash fees of 45 €, so Weinert. "We have to have a huge interest in ensuring that this does not happen." However, panic was not announced. For we have already for other reasons before an MBS-bankruptcy stood, because you do not waste the rest was deposited. With this threat to have been living a half Jahren.Weinerts forecast to the current dispute looks bleak: "If no agreement is reached, must probably be decided by the courts." The district administration quite frankly. "Which bank is because in a situation like money, which person is the willingness to make the management of the moment, the Company has no managing director, because it will make no one." In fact, take the self-propelled Westerwaldkreis Waste Management Company (MCAS) perform the management, legally registered in the Register is, however, no one. Weinert: "The situation is very bad." According to Weinert's assessment go to the main shareholder Treasury Holdings (TH) for cogeneration plants, whose technology, the know-how, patent rights and patterns. In the background of the Greek stand TH Helector group that will always put back into play. Weinert: ". We could with Treasury Holdings and Bohn live well, not only with the crash" The group Bohn is not new in the business. Of which was also recently convinced the working group of the CDU-County Council Waste Management Group on a visit to Buseck. Ralf Bohn, managing director and co-owner of the company that employs 76 employees, led the CDU group by the family.
Bohn will burn stabilate
of floor Detail the reaction is residue from the paper industry and light packaging on to alternative fuels. In 2006, Bohn, we had made 53 million euro turnover. In future we would plant in Witzenhausen (Hessen), which serves to generate heat and energy supply of the local paper mill SCA, the Westerwald also burn RDF. The power plant is under construction and mid-2008 will go into trial operation. The waste policy spokesman of the CDU, Dr. Manfred Jackel sees the Bohn-group a dedicated and knowledgeable partner, "Bohn and Westerwaldkreis have many common goals, cooperation is a win for both sides."

"It is fermented mainly behind the scenes

21.5 million euros expensive waste treatment facility in Wiefels not working properly
repeatedly put off the sand. Managed to produce the plant from October to mid-February no power.
Wittmund - EUR 21.3 million has put the administration union Waste Management Centre Wiefels in its fermentation plant. Theoretically, they should produce since May 2005, energy from waste. In practice, they stood up again and again two weeks ago because of technical defects. Therefore, the manufacturer of association meeting on Wednesday was ordered into the circle Wittmunder house and interviewed in a short hand is not publicly stated meeting. "We wanted to talk straight," said one group member of OZ. He confirmed that there are currently behind closed doors more ferment than in the fermenters. The million-dollar system for the mechanical-biological treatment is started up for about two weeks. Going up to full load, it . take another ten to 16 weeks, said Zweckverband Director Lothar Arlinghaus The purpose of association chairman Dieter Gabbey (Hooksiel) said to OZ: "We wanted to finally know authentic when the plant is running at full capacity." There was indeed pressure from the regulatory authorities. Gabbey described the problems in the system. After filtering out the solid waste components are liquefied, in order to gain energy by fermentation, with the current turn will generate. From the liquid waste had always sand deposited. Pumps and generators had to be constantly renewed. Stoppages were the result. Finally, the digestion plant has produced since October of energy. Meanwhile, we have found a "Russian-simple" solution: Three big screens brought before the pump the sand from the liquid waste, the fermentation of the economic process a part of the energy is the waste management center use, inter alia, for a compost plant, administration building and the digestion plant... The rest is sold. over the facility, will significantly more power produced than consumed, Gabbey. Apparently not all members saw the purpose of the Association Sun "We also wanted the last skeptics have their say," Gabbey said when asked why the public option "restart the fermentation plant" suddenly on Wednesday as confidential and the public had been excluded. The doubters should have the manufacturer asking unpleasant questions "
