Step by step overcoming limitations in solid waste treatment
According to information from the Provincial People's Committee, currently, the average volume of domestic solid waste generated in the province ranges from 750 - 850 tons/day. Of which, domestic waste is mainly collected and treated at Tam Sinh Nghia Solid Waste Treatment Plant with a processing capacity of 360-400 tons/day.
However, the company's solid waste treatment in the past revealed many limitations such as gas emissions during the incineration process; collection, treatment of leachate and management of waste collected centrally at the factory, causing frustration for the people.
Based on that situation, recently, the Provincial People's Committee has directed relevant agencies and localities to regularly inspect and work with the factory to find solutions to improve the environment and ensure effective waste treatment operations.
According to Deputy General Director of Tam Sinh Nghia Investment and Development Joint Stock Company - Dang Dinh Quyet, the existing Tam Sinh Nghia Waste Treatment Plant officially came into operation in 2012, receiving and processing domestic waste generated in Tan An City, Tan An Market Management Board and the districts: Ben Luc, Chau Thanh, Tan Tru, Duc Hoa, Tan Thanh, Thanh Hoa, Thu Thua and part of Duc Hoa and Can Giuoc districts with a capacity of about 400 tons/day.
After the Company took over the factory from the old investor, the Company has overcome some limitations such as renovating the exhaust gas treatment system according to permitted environmental standards, upgrading the wastewater collection system due to garbage leakage as well as adjusting the environmental impact assessment report to request the construction of an additional incinerator with a capacity of 120 tons/day, meeting the daily waste treatment needs as well as the amount of waste remaining at the factory.
In particular, during the recent Lunar New Year, there was a day when the total amount of garbage entering the factory increased, nearly 900 tons of garbage/day. To handle the large amount of garbage generated, all officers and employees of the factory made efforts to receive and process it, contributing to maintaining general hygiene and protecting the environment.
Currently, the factory maintains stable operations with systems of receiving, separating, filtering and classifying waste, separating and selecting plastic waste with 3 incinerator systems operating continuously 24/7 along with upgrading centralized wastewater collection and treatment systems, incinerator exhaust gas treatment systems and the entire system of factory facilities, technical infrastructure,...
“In recent times, the factory has gradually overcome previous problems. New investment has been made in workshops and production equipment, and overhauls have been made to ensure the reception and treatment of waste generated in the province,” said Mr. Dang Dinh Quyet.
Invest in new technology
Recently, to ensure the planning and operation of waste treatment plants, the Provincial People's Committee has directed provincial departments and branches to coordinate with localities to promote investment attraction in waste treatment plants, prioritizing the call for treatment technology in the direction of waste treatment with energy recovery according to the province's planning.
According to Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee - Nguyen Minh Lam, in order to meet the requirements of waste treatment as well as environmental protection during the treatment process, the Provincial People's Committee has decided to increase the capacity of Tam Sinh Nghia Waste Treatment Plant to 500 tons/day and convert the technology from heating to waste incineration for electricity generation as well as plan 3 waste treatment plants using waste incineration technology for electricity generation in the districts of Duc Hoa, Can Giuoc, Thanh Hoa with a total capacity of 750 tons/day.
Up to now, the Tam Sinh Nghia Waste-to-Energy Plant project is completing procedures to start construction. In phase 1, the plant has a capacity of 500 tons/day, phase 2 is 1,500 tons/day, the expected power generation capacity when phase 2 is completed is 38MW.
Tam Sinh Nghia Investment and Development Joint Stock Company carries out site clearance to start construction of a waste-to-energy plant using new technology in waste treatment.
Accordingly, currently, Tam Sinh Nghia Investment and Development Joint Stock Company is focusing on completing legal procedures and preparing the site to implement the construction of a waste incineration plant following the waste incineration model with energy recovery for electricity generation. According to Mr. Dang Dinh Quyet, up to now, the Company has completed legal procedures in the preparation stage for investing in a waste incineration plant for electricity generation.
In particular, the Department of Science and Technology has completed the technology appraisal, the Department of Natural Resources and Environment has approved the environmental impact assessment report, and the Provincial People's Committee has approved the adjustment of the investment policy of the Thanh Hoa - Long An waste treatment plant into the Tam Sinh Nghia - Long An waste-to-energy plant project with an area of 25 hectares.
At the same time, on December 28, 2024, the Prime Minister issued a decision approving the plan to implement the supplementary Power Plan VIII, in which the Tam Sinh Nghia Waste-to-Energy Plant project was added to the Power Plan VIII.
“Currently, the unit has completed the arrangement, planning, clearance, and leveling of the land to prepare for the construction of a new waste-to-energy plant. The company is also striving to complete the construction of the waste-to-energy plant and put it into operation in the fourth quarter of 2026,” Mr. Dang Dinh Quyet added./.
