It is equipped with complete waste feeding, storage, incineration, energy recycling, power generation, and pollution control facilities. Since its test operation in January 1991, the Incinerator has been running for over 20 years. Its processing capability, particularly in the areas of conventional air pollutant control and power generation efficiency, is in good condition. Furthermore, the Incinerator has a lot of public facilities (e.g. indoor swimming pool, activity center and tennis court), which is a benchmark of community relations and exemplary model for other incinerators in Taiwan. In fact, it has an irreplaceable significance in Taiwan's waste incineration history. However, due to the early design and planning of the Incinerator, plus changes in social economic conditions, there is increasing requirement for environmental protection, which presents different kinds of issues and challenges for the Incinerator. For instance, according to the Dioxin Control and Emission Standard for Incinerators established by the EPA on August 6, 1997, the Incinerator was requested to reduce the concentration of dioxin emission to 1.0 ng-TEQ/N m3 or below within four years. Then on October 6, 1999, a more stringent standard was announced, requesting the Incinerator to reduce the concentration of dioxin emission to 0.1 ng-TEQ/N m3 or below by August 8, 2001. Furthermore, in the Management Method and Facility Standard for Ordinary Waste, first promulgated on April 23, 1997, it was requested that fly ash and bottom ash be collected and stored separately. As the Incinerator's existing pollution control facilities are unable to meet the stipulations of the new regulations, in order to ensure effective waste management and to comply with new regulations for pollutant emission, the Incinerator has to upgrade part of its facilities. In addition, some of the related equipment is unable to meet requirements of new facilities due to their obsolete design or insufficient capacity. The Incinerator is actively drafting a plant improvement plan. In February 1999, it halted plant operation to conduct dioxin improvement work and related operations. A test-run is scheduled for the end of 2000 and all improvements are expected to be completed in March 2001. The large-scale upgrade work currently implemented by the Incinerator is unprecedented for the first large-size incinerator in Taiwan. The related experience, technology and data will set a benchmark for planning to improve pollution facilities and extend life span of many old large-size incinerators. We believe that, after the improvement, the Incinerator's commitment and effort in environmental protection will bring residents of Taipei City a cleaner and more comfortable living space.<P/><br/>]]></description><pubDate>Sun, 01 Jul 2012 16:00:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Policy]]></title><link>https://english.dep.gov.taipei/News_Content.aspx?n=5E439837D71C411D&amp;s=2651179DE16AD6E1</link><description><![CDATA[<P><IMG style="FLOAT: left" alt="Policy" src="http://www-ws.gov.taipei/001/Upload/public/MMO/ENGDEP/Policy.bmp" mmoid="203580"/>Neihu Incinerator is the first modernized incinerator in Taiwan that adopts mechanical incineration technology to process household garbage and commercial waste of Taipei City in order to achieve waste volume reduction, stabilization, sanitation, and resource utilization.

In addition, Neihu Incinerator actively strives to build an environmental management system in order to keep the operation and maintenance of waste processing in optimum condition, and to achieve the aims of environmental management, transparency of environmental information and continuous improvement.<br/>]]></description><pubDate>Sun, 29 Aug 2010 16:00:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Scene of incineration plant]]></title><link>https://english.dep.gov.taipei/News_Content.aspx?n=5E439837D71C411D&amp;s=2E892C76FB99DAA9</link><description><![CDATA[The amount of garbage produced has increased dramatically over the past several decades. At the same time, the standards for solid waste disposal have become more stringent .As a result, managing a refuse disposal that is environmentally safe has become a major concern for the Taipei City Government .The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) of the Taipei City Government implemented a" Ten year plan for managing Taipei's Garbage ". Thus the department began planning for the establishment of incinerators in 1985. NeiHu incinerator is the first incinerator to be planned, built and operated. The start-up and trial burning procedures were begun in 1991, and the plant became fully operational and administered by the TDEP in January 1992. It is the first large-scale, high-efficiency refuse incinerator in Taiwan. It burns all combustible material and reduces the volume of refuse to one-tenth the original volume. The residual is sent to a qualified recycling plant. The heat generated from burning the refuse is recovered by a heat recovery boiler and transformed into power which operates steam turbines that generate electricity. By incinerating garbage we can effectively reduce the amount of waste in an environmentally safe manner so that the resulting ash is not harmful to the environment and the heat produced can be recovered and the heat produced can be recovered and recycled in a profitable manner.<br/>]]></description><pubDate>Wed, 29 Jul 2009 16:00:00 GMT</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
