[edit]The incinerator Spittelau is one of three thermal waste treatment facilities of the district of Vienna GmbH. His feature wins through the building by Friedensreich Hundertwasser artistically designed façade. With an installed total power of 460 MW, the plant's second largest producer in the district heating network of Vienna dar.
The plant, in the northernmost part of the 9th District on the Danube Canal located, completed in 1971. The thermal waste treatment plant was Spittelau to its present location in order for the heat for about 2 km away, New General Hospital provided.
The continuous adaptation to the latest state of the art flue gas resulted in the retrofitting of thermal waste treatment plant Spittelau with a flue gas wet scrubber (1986/89) and an ultra-modern Denitrification and dioxin destruction facility (1989). At the same time, the external facade of the entire district heating plant after a major fire in 1987 by Friedensreich Hundertwasser redesigned. From the previously sober purpose, a unique and spectacular artwork that is a good example of a harmonious symbiosis between technology, ecology and art. The Spittelau has become not only part of the cityscape, it is also a tourist attraction. The concept has found imitators - it was in Osaka / Japan and a thermal treatment facility in a similar style.
The factory placed thermal waste treatment plant with a throughput capacity of 260 000 tons per year in the interconnected network, averaged over the year and feeds 60 MW a (basic coverage). Additionally, in five or gas-/ölbefeuerten gas hot water boilers to cover peak demand of 400 MW thermal power produced. Overall, it is estimated that 40 000 MWh of electricity and 470 000 MWh of heat produced [1]. With this amount of heat each year more than 60 000 households in Vienna heated.
