The final test procedure of the Shock Pulse Generators from Explosion Power GmbH ensures a safe and smooth commissioning. In the final test facility, each Shock Pulse Generator is tested for functionality by an expert employee before delivery and the quality is certified.

In 2021, WtE Buchs (belonging to VfA - Verein für Abfallbeseitigung) celebrates the sixtieth anniversary of its founding. Little remains of the original concept of waste disposal.

In the cleaning of soot and fly ash from the combustion plants, much has changed in the history. While the ancestors had to deal mainly with soot in the flue gas, the present-day furnaces are mainly confronted with fly ash in the flue gas thanks to the controlled firing. The «soot», resulting from insufficient combustion is not known to modern combustion technology, because this organic carbon content is burned out to the state of inorganic residue, namely to the fly ash.

A waste incineration plant uses the energy contained in waste to produce steam, which in turn is advantageously converted into electrical energy.

Swiss Krono - a successful manufacturer of MFB boards and OSB boards - uses only natural raw materials that come from sustainably managed forests. In 2002 a biomass combustion plant was put into operation for the energetic utilization of various production waste, dust and bark.

Each combustion of organic substances produces particles, which are discharged with the flue gas. These particles, called fly ash, fly through the boiler with the flue gas and settle down on the inner boiler walls and the heat exchanger tubes of the boiler. This results in a reduction of the heat transfer. These contaminants are removed by means of various cleaning systems. The most important automatic online cleaning methods are described below.
