China deploys waste incineration power plants in many places
Xinhua Beijing, December 3 (reporter Guan Guifeng) Everyone produces garbage, it is estimated that each person produces China's waste in 0.8 kg to 1.3 kg per day. Everyone also hates garbage, and the construction of garbage disposal facilities is recognized as one of the problems.
Nowadays, in many places in China, old landfills are facing closure, but new landfills are nowhere to be found. Incineration power plants are one of the current feasible options, and waste incineration power plants are deployed in many places in China.
In Beijing, for example, the Gaoantun Phase II, Nangong and Haidian Dhuangcun waste incineration projects will be put into trial operation by the end of this year. By then, the city's daily waste incineration capacity will reach 17,000 tons, triple last year's daily waste disposal capacity. Li Rugang, deputy director of the Municipal Commission of Beijing Municipality, recently revealed when accepting the NPC deputies and CPPCC members that at present, the proportion of waste incineration in Beijing has reached 28%, while the proportion of waste incineration in Europe, the United States and Japan has reached about 70%.
China Environmental Protection Group deputy general manager Xiao LAN said, waste treatment, reduction is the most important task and goal, for many large and medium-sized cities in China, incineration is the most suitable technology.
Waste incineration will produce a kind of toxic and harmful gas called dioxins, at present, the public still has limited cognition of dioxins, coupled with the "NIMby effect", the construction of waste incineration plant is not easy.
On the "dioxins carcinogenic" and other statements, the Chinese Academy of Sciences State Key Laboratory of Environmental Chemistry and Ecotoxicology deputy director Zheng Minghui said that after more than 100 years of technological development, waste incineration of dioxins is controllable, take measures can make the waste in the incinerator full combustion and thorough decomposition, so as to avoid the generation of dioxins.
Xiao LAN said that in the United States, Germany, Japan, Singapore and other countries, many waste incineration plants are built in the city center, and some even become local landmark buildings. China's current waste incineration technology can fully meet the EU standard, or even higher.
Chengdu Xiangfu Waste incineration Power Plant is a rare plant in the industry that combines an incineration plant and an office building. There is no odor in the factory, and staff dormitories are also built in the factory.
Su Zhigang, general manager of China Energy Conservation Chengdu Renewable Resources Co., LTD., said that since the Chengdu project was completed and operated, the test data of dioxin is better than the EU 2000 standard.
"The recycling of resources in the park can achieve zero emissions." Su said 650,000 tons of China's waste can be disposed of every year, and 190 million kilowatt-hours of electricity can be generated externally by using waste heat. The waste leachate collection system will be discharged into the municipal sewage pipe network after the first-level discharge standard. The slag left after the waste is burned up can be used for building materials after being tested to be free of pollutants; And another residue of fly ash, solidified with cement and other stable forming, sent to the government designated landfill for landfill.
Can garbage only be burned? "On the basis of reduction and harmfulness, enterprises also consider resource utilization, unlike the original burning." Xiao LAN said that China Environmental Protection Group's comprehensive treatment scale of solid waste has reached 45,000 tons per day. In addition, the company is also exploring the construction of sorting facilities in several garbage transfer stations in major cities to separate reusable plastics and fibers for unified processing and treatment, effectively avoiding the odor and leakage of garbage transportation.
In many towns and villages in China, exploring the construction of multiple "modules" with different processing capacities has become one of the ways to solve the waste problem. Garbage collection trucks first transport the collected garbage to each "module", where the preliminary sorting is carried out, realizing the centralized final treatment and distributed layout.
"Once a school organized students to visit the factory. As soon as they got off the bus, each student covered himself with a mask. It wasn't until they found the whole factory as clean and tidy as a garden that they took off their masks." So said he was impressed.
