FRM are experts in the range of waste treatment technology options, and have produced guidance documents for central and regional Government in the UK (e.g. Defra) and internationally (Australia, South Africa) on the available options for managing municipal waste. This has included a suite of documents for Defra (covering MBT, Advanced Thermal Treatment, Mechanical Heat Treatment, Incineration) and delivering training courses on this topic internationally.

FRM have applied this experience in residual waste treatment procurement (e.g. Norfolk, Swindon) and in feasibility studies, market assessments and options appraisals for waste / resource management strategy projects. Technologies have included: materials recycling facilities; pre-sort prior to EfW; energy from waste; organics waste treatment; RDF and advanced thermal treatment

We have developed bespoke carbon models to represent specific residual waste treatment facilities covering the full range of technologies available and peer reviewed carbon models developed by other consultancies (Parsons Brinckerhoff, Arup, SLR consulting, Jacobs).

We keep a track on the financial aspects of waste treatment (see blog on AD prices and the policy aspects impacts on choice of treatment technology (see our blog here)
