10th anniversary WtE-Plant Zistersdorf - Full power ahead

  In March this year, the WtE-Plant of FCC
  celebrates its 10th anniversary. Thanks to the
  dedication of the employees and the positive
  atmosphere, the production has proven to be
  very reliable and has exceeded all expectations
  in terms of ecological and technological
  performance. In 10 years, 1 billion kilowatt
  hours of electricity were generated; more than
  250,000 tonnes of residual waste have been
  taken over by the households of the districts
  Gänserndorf and Mistelbach.

On behalf of the municipality Zistersdorf a recycling yard has been operating since 2013, which currently employs 10 people. The recycling yard is growing very fast, so this year an administrative building with a modern social area is planned to be built.

On area next to the plant, APG (a affiliated company of Verbund, which is responsible for the expansion and operation of the high-performance power grid) planst o build an intermediate storage for the Weinviertel high-voltage line. The construction will start in September this year and is planned to be finished in 2023.

Currently, the possibilities of a sewage sludge drying plant next to the WtE-Plant are being examined in a study. The project is intended to support the future topic of orderly sewage sludge disposal in the surrounding communities. This intention brings excellent synergies with the WtE-Plant of FCC, as waste heat and electricity can be used directly, exhaust air and waste water can be disposed in the plant - and dried material can be made available for recycling.
