Garbage Power Plant to Produce Electricity in Fuzhou

East China's Fujian Province will start to build its largest garbage disposal plant into the country's large garbage power plant by the end of July, which expects to produce 100 million kwh of electricity upon completion.

According to the provincial construction department, the Hongmiaoling Garbage Power Plant, to be built from the garbage disposal plant, is expected to completed and put into operation by 2006.

The garbage power plant will be equipped with two garbage burning production lines which expect to generate 250 kwh of electricity each by burning one tons of garbage, the source said.

Each garbage burning production line can burn 600 tons of garbage daily, the source said, adding that two lines can generate 300,000 kwh of electricity daily.

The garbage power plant will have abundant sources of the materials, for Fuzhou, the capital of Fujian province, can produce over 1,600 tons of garbage on average daily.

The expected annual 100 million kwh of electricity to be produced by the garbage power plant will effectively ease power shortage in the city and will bring in economic benefits totaling 50 million yuan (US$6.02 million ).

Officials of the provincial construction department said that garbage power technologies and equipments have become mature in China, adding that the smooth operation of garbage power plants in Shanghai and Hangzhou proved the effectiveness of the domestic technologies and equipments in this regard.
