Do EfW sites smell?
No, they don’t. This is partly because waste is not stored at the site very long before being treated. It is also because the air inside the plant is kept at a slightly negative pressure to prevent odours escaping. So, the waste to be burnt is delivered into an enclosed area called the waste hall and then fed into a kiln. The air inside the waste hall is sucked into the furnace so that in effect, any odour that does accumulate inside the facility is burnt.
