Bringing “Waste To Energy” To The Fore

Kum Shing has been working on a new chemical plant for the Environmental Protection Department at the Chemical Waste Treatment Centre (CWTC) over the past five years. The new incinerator can not only increase the efficiency of waste treatment but also generate power for the operation of the facilities by bringing “Waste To Energy” to the fore.  The CWTC Project Team of the Process & Plant Department completed the lifting and installation of the three large-scale waste heat boilers, marking a key milestone for this project.

The three sets of waste heat boilers weighing more than 150 tons were transported from Zhangjiagang to Dongguan by land, then to Hong Kong by sea. Long consumption times and excessive usage of people and resources were big challenges in the project. Completing all the work with a tight schedule of only three days was another obstacle. Workers had to sprint against the clock using their profession and experience to ensure the tasks were completed precisely.
