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.
