Incineration Plants Operated and Managed by CTCI Honored with the Excellence Awards in EPA 2016-2017 Annual Appraisal

To ensure the operation and quality of incineration plants, Environmental Protection Administration (EPA), Executive Yuan implements the appraisal for incineration plants every year. SESC Miaoli Plant, Wujih Plant, Houli Plant, Keelung Plant, and Hsientien Plant Honored with the Excellence Award, of which Wujih Plant won Energy Saving Technology Award for the first time. The award ceremony was held on July 11th .

Miaoli Plant, having been awarded five years successively, deals with 170,000 metric tons of garbage and waste every year and generates 94,000 MWh of energy which could supply 24,000 household with electricity throughout the year. Also, the plant commits to lower greenhouse gases and reduces 64,00 metric tons of carbon emission annually.

In terms of community development, colleagues of Miaoli Plant, the major environmental education site built by FEC, adopted the neighboring beach and invited coworkers as well as local people for cleaning. In the meantime, the plant also was turned into an environmental classroom where the enthusiastic volunteers offered guided tours. As of this July, the cumulative number of participants has reached 1,126 people.

Houli and Wujih Plant, taking an absolute lead in the performance among the 24 incineration plants in Taiwan, cooperatively process 580,000 metric tons of garbage and waste annually, generate 350,000 MWh of energy which could supply 98,000 household electricity during one year. According to the EPA evaluation results, the average system running rate of Houli and Wujih Plant are 92.22% and 90.87% respectively. In the matter of selling electricity rate, Houli Plant is 82.83% while Wujih Plant is 80.36%. 

It is worth mentioning that Wujih Plant, improving power generating efficiency remarkably to sell an additional 5,900 MWh of energy per year, honored with the Energy Saving Technology Award in the annual appraisal.

Furthermore, Keelung Plant gained full marks in the pollution abatement and occupational safety in this evaluation. The committee also praised the good operating performances for waste control and the certification of environmental education site at Keelung and Hsientien Plant . The plant has also been actively involved in good-neighbor activities to enhance public awareness of environmental protection and neighborhood caring.

Criteria of the nationwide annual evaluations for incineration plants include operating performance, garbage and waste landing inspection, incineration plant slag, and stabilized fly ash control, all of which are conducted on site randomly. This award confirms the long-term commitment and performance of group resource cycling business of CTCI. In the days to comes, CTCI will continuously commit to environmental protection, pollution prevention, energy saving, carbon reduction, technical upgrading, and contributing to the community.
