PM Nguyen Xuan Phuc in Ha Nam (Source: VNA) Engineer Nguyen Gia Long,Director of Hydraulic Machine Ltd Company (HMC) and WTE inventor, said at thecore of the WTE technology is a process known as gastification which convertswastes into a synthesis gas (syngas) used as a fuel to generate electricity.
The WTE model has beensuccessfully experimented by the Ministry of Science and Technology (MoST), theMinistry of Natural Resources and Environment, and the provincial People’sCommittee since September 21, 2016, during which, 208 tonnes of unclassifiedsolid wastes were processed to generate sufficient power for the lightingsystem in the Dong Van 2 IP to run during 10 days.
The Vietnam EnvironmentAdministration’s Centre for Environmental Monitoring reported that emissions fromthe process meet the standards of Vietnam and the World Health Organisation.
At the working session with thePM, Long expressed wish that the government would help the company to ensureWTE patent right and facilitate its wide application.
PM Phuc, for his part, lauded theengineer and his staff for their hard work over the past 16 years to research andpilot the WTE model. He asked ministries and agencies to continue to supportthe company in perfecting the technology, with a view to put it to commercialuse nationwide.
The leader suggested Ha Nam allowsHMC company to handle part of the waste volume in the province during one monthin order to compare the cost of the new technology with that of theconventional waste treatment of burying, thus making a detailed report on theeconomic efficiency of the technology.
The Ministry of Industry andTrade and the Electricity of Vietnam will evaluate the technical aspect,connectivity, stability, volume and quality of power generation using the WTEtechnology.
The PM also hoped that HMC wouldstrive to raise the WTE power generation capacity to more than its existing0.5MW and complete procedures to commercialise the technology.
According to Minister of NaturalResources and Environment Tran Hong Ha, an average 23 million tonnes of solidwastes are buried in more than 500 landfills nationwide per day, with only 26 of thefacilities capable of classifying and recycling wastes.-VNA
