French term or phrase: installation de maturation et d'élaboration
An environmental due diligence report concerning a company that collects, sorts and recovers waste includes a section entitled 'Gestion des sujets HSE', which contains information on how the relevant group deals with health & safety and environmental issues. Beneath that is a set of recommendations by the due diligence firm. One of these recommendations is 'Finaliser l’action d’achat d’un dispositif PTI pour le poste de conducteur d’engins IME du site de xxx'.
I have established (hopefully correctly) that 'PTI' stands for 'protection du travailleur isolé' but am stuck on 'IME'. I believe it stands for 'installation de maturation et d'élaboration' but cannot find a solution in English, so any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance if you're able to shed some light on this for me.

IBA recycling facility / IBA processing facility


Explanation:
According to this, "Le mâchefer est un résidu de la combustion du charbon ou du coke dans les fours industriels ou bien de celle des déchets ménagers dans les unités d'incinération de déchets non dangereux (UIDND), on parle alors de mâchefers d’incinération des déchets non dangereux (MIDND)...Ces mâchefers sont en majorité (84%) traités en installation de maturation et d’élaboration (IME)"
https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mâchefer

In English, Mâchefer is incinerator bottom ash (IBA).

This company recycles the IBA in its IBA recycling facility, which seems to be what an IME does, see - https://www.fairport.co.uk/2018/06/07/new-iba-recycling-faci...

This company too (click 'How we do it' to see what it entails)

agree  philgoddard: Good work, but you've left out "maturation", which is the same in English. And you should spell out IBA in full.
