Due to ongoing developments in the EU waste policy, Waste-to-Energy (WtE) plants are to be optimized beyond current acceptance levels. In this paper, a non-exhaustive overview of advanced technical improvements is presented and illustrated with facts and figures from state-of-the-art combustion plants for municipal solid waste (MSW). Some of the data included originate from regular WtE plant operation - before and after optimisation - as well as from defined plant-scale research. Aspects of energy efficiency and (re-)use of chemicals, resources and materials are discussed and support, in light of best available techniques (BAT), the idea that WtE plant performance still can be improved significantly, without direct need for expensive techniques, tools or re-design. In first instance, diagnostic skills and a thorough understanding of processes and operations allow for reclaiming the silent optimisation potential.
由于欧盟废物政策的持续发展，废物能源化（WtE）工厂需要在现有接受水平之上进行优化。本文对先进技术改进进行了非详尽的概述，并结合了城市固体废物（MSW）最先进燃烧工厂的事实和数据进行了说明。其中一些数据来自常规的 WtE 工厂运营——优化前后——以及定义的工厂规模研究。讨论了能源效率和化学品、资源和材料的（再）利用方面，并根据最佳可行技术（BAT）的观点，支持这样的观点，即 WtE 工厂的性能仍然可以显著提高，而不需要昂贵的技术、工具或重新设计。首先，诊断技能和对工艺和操作的透彻理解，可以挖掘出潜在的优化空间。
