Abstract: A method for treating waste in a mechanical or mechanical-biological waste treatment plant is provided. Waste is introduced into the waste treatment plant at at least one input point, the waste is homogenized by way of at least one agitator and the consistency of the waste in the waste treatment plant is determined. Water or waste which has a higher water content than the waste in the waste treatment plant is added in one scenario. Water is removed or waste having a lower water content is added in another scenario. Further, the method involves transporting the introduced waste to at least one output point, and removing the waste. The waste treatment plant is subdivided into at least two zones and in each zone the consistency of the waste is regulated separately by the input of waste and/or addition or removal of water.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for treating waste in a mechanical or mechanical-biological waste treatment plant, comprising the following steps of: introducing waste-into the waste treatment plant at least one input point, homogenizing the waste by way of at least one agitator, determining the consistency of the waste in the waste treatment plant, adding water or waste which has a higher water content than the waste in the waste treatment plant in a first scenario, or removal of water or addition of waste having a lower water content in another scenario, transporting the introduced waste to at least one output point, removing the waste. The waste treatment plant is subdivided into at least two zones and in each zone the consistency of the waste is regulated separately by the input of waste and/or addition or removal of water.
