Gaoan Tun garbage incineration plant, the first garbage incineration power plant in Beijing, was put into trial operation on July 28.
It is reported that the plant will deal with 533,000 tons of household rubbish each year, equaling half the amount produced in Chaoyang District and the waste heat can generate 220 million kwh of electricity, which will be allocated by State Grid for industrial or civil use.
According to a representative of the plant, garbage will be directly burnt without being separated. The remaining slag will be 20% of the total weight of the garbage, and will be made into bricks used in urban roads and protective dams.
The garbage incineration system adopts technologies and equipment that will fully burn the garbage and control poison gases such as dioxin.
It is said that Beijing municipality will gradually reduce landfill and put more focus on comprehensive disposal of household rubbish.

China has so many people, which needs resources for life. Don´t burn them, recycle them. In Germany, the combines ignore the kryo- recycling for plastics and e- waste. China could become the world market leader in this technique, because Germany is sleeping. China has universities and the scientific power, to make kryo- recycling on its own way!
What is surprising here is that China with the most progressive and forward thinking Environmental Research Establishments is going backwards to the 1970s to build incineration plants for its Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) or Garbage remedy works when it should be looking forwards to better technologies that do not have the legacies hanging over them.
Incineration is a means to turn MSW into a lost resource for ever and instantaneously. With the amount of MSW/Garbage in Beijing or Shanghai or Chong Qing or Harbin or any where else for that matter the best option has to be maximising fully recycling followed by turning the residues (they are dominated by biomass) in to the renewable fuels for transport namely ethanol or butanol. The process is so simple and cost effective that there is no comparable alternative.
