II. Production process flow and main process system

The main production process flow is as follows:
Solid wastes will be transported to the plant area with special vehicles and then be
dumped to waste storage room after measured. Waste will be fed into the incinerator
furnace with special refuse grab for combustion. High temperature furnace slag after
6

combustion will get cooled in the slag remover and then be conveyed to the slag
storage hopper, where the slag will be shipped out for comprehensive utilization or for
landfill disposal. High temperature flue gas produced in waste incineration will be
used by the waste heat boiler for heating and superheated steam produced by the
waste heat boiler will be delivered to the turbo-generator for power generation, flue
gas will be discharged into the atmosphere after such disposals as de-acidifying,
absorption and purification, bag filter etc. Fly ash produced will be added into the
cement and chelating agent for solidification, solidified products will be sent to the
sanitary landfill for Municipal Solid Waste for disposal after qualified in the test.
See Fig 2-1 for specific process flow and pollution exhaust procedures.

The production process of the proposed project consists of waste receiving and
storage, waste stirring and feeding, waste incineration, waste heat recovery, turbo
power generation, flue gas purification, waste leachate disposal and slag treatment etc.

2.1 Solid waste receiving and storage system

Urban solid wastes are transported into the plant by special rubbish vehicles, which
are first weighted by the electronic truck scale and go to the tipping platform of the
main plant building through the bridge road, dump rubbish to the enclosed waste pit
for storage; cleaning facility shall be provided at the platform and the cleaning water
will flow from the drainage ditch to the drainage tray. Gas curtain machine shall be
provided at the outlet of the platform to prevent odor spreading. The discharge door is
of air-tight structure subject to automatic control, which can prevent powdered waste
and odor inside the pit from diffusion.

2.2 Solid waste incineration system

Solid waste incineration system consists of solid waste feeding unit, incinerator
furnace, slag removing system, hydraulic transmission system, ignition and auxiliary
combustion system, combustion air system etc. See Fig 2-3-2-4 for solid waste
incineration processing system.

Waste heat after incineration is utilized to produce steam by waste heat boiler, which
is supplied to the turbo-generator to generate power. Incinerated flue gas flows into
the flue gas purification system, which will be discharged into the atmosphere after
properly disposed.

2.3 Waste heat recovery system

Waste heat boiler is provided at the outlet of the incinerator furnace for fuel gas
cooling and to recover the thermal energy to produce superheated steam required for
the

turbo-generator.

Each

furnace

shall

be

fitted

with

one

middle-temperature, middle-pressure, and single-drum natural circulation boiler as

waste heat boiler. Fly ash falls into the fine ash hopper at the bottom, which is
discharged to the fly ash storage hopper by the zipper conveyor.

2.4 Turbo-generating system

The turbo-generating system consists of main steam system, steam extraction system,
vacuum extraction system, steam gland system, drain system, water circulation
system, adjustment system, oil supply system and auxiliary equipments etc.
In view of the characteristics of solid waste incineration power plant, it is proposed to
provide two 18-MW pure condensing steam turbines and two 20MW power
generators. The parameters of the turbo-generator set are as follows:

Voltage: 10.5kV

Admission temperature: 390

Rotational speed: 3000r/min

Exhaust pressure: 0.0049MPa(a)

Power factor: 0.8

2.5 Flue gas purification system

The proposed project adopts semi-dry rotating spray drying purification flow. It is
fitted with mechanical rotating spray drying de-acidification reaction tower, activated
carbon absorption and bag filter, which can control discharge of hazardous gases such
as HCl, SOx and dioxin and flue dust. Lime slurry is adopted as absorbent. The
purification mainly includes (1) lime slurry preparation system; (2) semi wet reactor
with atomizer; (3) activated carbon injection and absorption; which is installed
between semi-wet reactor and the bagfilter. The active carbon is injected into the flue
gas coming out of the semi-wet reactor for the purpose of absorbing dioxin. (4) Bag
filter; (5) Induced system; (6) Fly ash conveying system.

2.6 Solid waste Leachate disposal system

Waste leachate yield is mainly affected by composition, water content and storage
days of waste transported to the plant; its yield is also related to the region and season
etc. Water content of Municipal Solid Wastes is high in general; water content of
waste in coastal developed cities is even higher in particular; as a result, a large
amount of leachate will be produced in the waste bunker. Waste leachate yield of the
proposed project is calculated as 18% of total incineration amount, 360t/d leachate is
produced (including flushing water of waste tipping hall). Therefore the designed
disposal capacity of the waste leachate treatment system of the proposed project is
defined as 500t/d.

2.7 Slag removing system

Fly ash and slag incineration system of solid waste incineration plant mainly includes
slag and fly ash. The proposed project shall collect and dispose slag and fly ash
produced in solid waste incineration.
The main composition of slag of the proposed project is residue after waste
incineration. Its output depends on waste composition. Its main composition is MnO,
SiO2, CaO, Al2O3, Fe2O3 and a small amount of unburned organic substances and
metal scraps etc.

2.8 Fly ash stabilizing treatment system

The proposed project produces 50t/d in total, which is stored in two 200m3 ash bin.
Fly ash will be conveyed from the ash bin to the ash fly stabilizing unit via screw
10

conveyer. The proposed project adopts solidification technique for fly ash stabilizing
treatment to get fly ash solidified in the plant and then be shipped out for treatment.
Fly ash stabilizing of the proposed project applies cement as stabilizing material,
which is used with chelating agent for stabilizing.

V. Investigation and Assessment on Regional Environment Quality

5.1 Investigation and Evaluation of Current Air Quality

Both the hourly concentration and daily average concentration of SO2 and NO2 in the
evaluation area can meet the requests of standard limited value of Class of Ambient
Air Quality Standard (GB3095-1996). The daily average concentration of dioxin is
between 0.095 and 0.363 TEQpg/m3.
The daily average concentrations of TSP and PM10 are both exceeding the limited
value in varies degrees in different monitoring points with the rate of exceeding the
limited value between 20% to 80%, and the maximum values account for the standard
share of 162.3% and 217.3% respectively. The over proof is mainly due to the
location of the evaluation area, which is in Northern China. There is little vegetation
on the ground surface in winter, and the weather is dry and windy so that the ash
content in the atmosphere is relative high, which leads to the daily average
concentrations of TSP and PM10 exceed the limited value.

15

The solid wastes in Jinan Municipal Solid Waste Disposal Center are deposited in the
open air and hand sorted, and the deodorant in the plant is not sprayed in time, which
causes some odor gases including NH3 and H2S are released out of order.

5.2 Investigation and evaluation of current situation of surface water quality

COD and Total N of the cross section of Tuhai River exceed the limited value of Class
of Environmental Quality Standards for Surface Water (GB3838-2002), and there is
no index exceeds the limit value during the monitoring of the cross section of Tuhai
River, so the water quality satisfies with the requests of the surface water evaluation
criterion of Class .

The value of COD, BOD5 and NH3-N of Tuhai River down from the outlet of the
proposed project doesnt satisfy with the limited value of Class

of Environmental

quality standards for surface water (GB3838-2002), which are 0.9, 1 and 0.6 times
above the limited value respectively. That is because the water is seriously polluted by
the organic pollution from the upper reaches of Tuhai River.

The evaluation index of all the items of the upper reaches of Qiji River is less than 1
except that the rate of excess of oil products is 25%, and the maximal multiple of
excess is 0.99. The water quality of Second Main Channel does not satisfy with the
limited value of Class of Environmental quality standards for surface water
(GB3838-2002). Because COD, NH3-N, Oil products, Permanganate Index and BOD5
all exceed the limited value of Class .

5.3 Investigation and evaluation of current situation of ground water quality

The concentrations of NH3-N, SO42- and the Total hardness exceed the limited value
in all the monitoring points, and the maximal exceeding multiples are 10.75, 2.22 and
1.49 respectively; Cl- exceeds the limited value in Xianghuogaojia and Zhangjiamiao,
16

and the maximal exceeding multiples are 2.81 and 0.56 respectively; and NO2exceeds the limit in Xianghuogaojia with the excess multiple of 0.6. Rest of the
monitoring items all meet the Class standard value of Standard of Groundwater
Quality (GB/T14848-93).
The excess of Total hardness and SO42- are mainly related to the geological structure
and the lithology of the area. the excess of Cl- and NO2- is due to the infiltration of the
leachate from the disposal center..

5.4 Investigation of current soil environment quality

All the items meet the standard of the second degree of Environmental quality
standard for soils (GB15618-1995), and the current situation of the quality of soil
environment is good.

5.5 Investigation and evaluation of the environmental quality of the noise

Noises of day time and night of Taiping point both exceed the limited value of Class
4a regulated by Standard for Acoustic Environmental Quality (GB3096-2008). the
environmental noise of the plant site of the proposed project satisfies with the limited
value of Class 2 of Standard for Acoustic Environmental Quality (GB3096-2008).

VI. Pollution Control Measures

6.1 Pollution Control Measures for Flue Gas
Flue Gas includes dust, acid component, heave metal and organic toxic pollutants.
The main gas purification system is composed of lime slurry preparation system,
semi-wet reactor with atomizer, activated carbon injection system , bag filter and fly
ash conveying system. The generation of the gas emission is one of the essential
parameter that needs to be monitored. If it shows abnormally high, the production of
the lime milk pump will be raised and more lime milk will be injected into the
semi-wet reactor to lower the emission of the gas. In case that the dust emission is so
high that some filter may be broken, the incinerator will be suspended to allow urgent
17

trouble-shooting and problem-fixing.

Pollution Control Measures for Acid Gas such as SO2HCl Flue gas deacidification

reactor will be used for removing acid gas in proposal project. An incinerator furnace
will be equipped with one deacidification reactor.

Pollution Control Measures for Dioxin-like Substance 3T1E will be adopted in

incineration process so as to insure the complete incineration and control the

generation of dioxin.
Dioxin is perfectly decomposed in the high temperature area of the furnace and, since
the off-gas is quickly cooled down by water spray, re-composition of dioxin can be
suppressed. In order to ensure the concentration of dioxin is lower than 0.1
ngTEQ/Nm3, the furnace is designed to ensure that the flue gas will stay in high
temperature zone of more than 850 for at least 2 seconds. Therefore, the
temperature of the furnace and flue gas is strictly daily monitored. The following
measurements will be adopted:
If the incineration temperature is detected to be lower than 850, the auxiliary
burners will be put into operation to raise the temperature.
If the incineration temperature is detected to be abnormally high, the primary air
temperature will be lowered down to decrease the furnace temperature.

Pollution Control Measures for Heavy Metal Heavy mental with higher gasification

temperature together with its compound will coagulate into granular substance during
the cooling process of flue gas treatment system, and then be collected and removed
by dedusting equipments; heavy metal with lower gasification temperature cannot
coagulate fully but can be transformed into metal oxides or chlorides with high
gasification temperature and easily to coagulate under the catalysis on surface of fly
ash, thus they must be collected and removed by dedusting equipments; Heavy metals
18

which are still in the gas will be absorbed on fly ash or activated carbon powder
sprayed in, thus will be collected and removed by dedusting equipments.

6.2 Control Measure of Waste water Pollution

Technology of pretreatment+ anaerobic treatment + aerobic treatment + advanced
treatment with designed treatment capacity of 500t/d. will be adopted for leachate
treatment.

6.3 Prevent and Control Measures of Solid Waste Pollution

Disposal measures such as reclamation, comprehensive utilization and outward
transportation can be adopted for solid waste treatment. Incineration fly ash, which
belongs to hazardous waste, will be solidified with cement and chelate in fly ash
solidification workshop set up in plant with the purpose of solidifying the dioxin
inside the concrete, the residues will be disposed of in a new secure landfill which is a
part of the 2nd municipal solid waste treatment plant. It is situated by the side of Jinan
No.2 incineration plant and will be completed and put into operation by March, 2011.
Incineration slag generated in proposed project will be utilized comprehensively,
mainly in road construction according to the agreement.

6.4 Prevent and Control Measures of Noise Pollution

As for main equipments in proposed project, soundproof and noise reducing measures
will be adopted. At the same time, limit value of and requirement on noise of
equipments will also be brought forward to manufacturers. Central noise-isolation
control room with double soundproof door and window which will be closed as much
as possible when conditions allow, will be set up in workshop with loud noise.
Greening will be done at plant area. Large amount of trees, which selected in
accordance with local condition, will be planted around main factory building and
office building, so as to realize the aim of dustproof, noise reduction and environment
beautification.

19

6.5 Following measures are carried out as Control Method and Countermeasure
against Odor Pollution
Close-type waste transportation vehicles; closed discharging hall with air curtain door
at entrance and exit; waste bunker is in negative-pressure condition, with the inlets of
primary air above and the gas extracted to furnace; clean up old waste in waste bunker
periodically; automatic discharging doors will be installed to make the waste bunker
closed; set up monitoring points around the plant, so as to monitor NH3, H2S etc. and
resolve the problem discovered in time; The real distance between Taiping and the
project is 3000m while that of Madian is 2500m, the settlement is on the up-wind
direction of the facility, furthermore, the width sanitary protection zone 600m from
the discharging hall (waste bunker) of proposed project; waste will not be transported
into the plant while the plant is not in operation or in maintenance. At the same time,
discharging door of waste bunker will be closed and the waste bunker will be kept in
negative condition, so as to avoid the overflow of odor.
6.6 Online Monitoring and Daily Monitoring
Continuous Emission Measurement System for flue gas will be set up so as to monitor
the concentration of SO2, NOX, Dust, CO and HCl online, maintain the connection
with local environmental department on internet and report the statistic monitoring
result of the System.
There are three sampling sites for dioxin/furans monitoring, one in the tail wind
direction, one in the head wind direction and another in a random emission area.
According to state criteria, the sampling frequency for dioxin is (at least) once per
year, due to only 4 institutes have the ability to sample and analyze dioxin in China,
its reasonable to sample dioxin once per year technically and economically.

VII. Environmental impact forecast and assessment

7.1 Environmental air impact forecast and assessment
Normal operation condition forecast The maximum value of hourly, daily,
annually ground concentration of SO2 and NO2 can meet the Grade 2 limits of the

20

Ambient Air Quality Standards (GB3095-1996). The hourly, daily value of HCL,
hourly value of Cd, daily value of Hg, Pb can meet the upper limits of the Design of
Sanitary Standards of Industrial Enterprises (TJ36-79). The maximum value of
annual concentration of dioxin meets the requirement of standard limit.

Abnormal operation condition forecast When the flue gas treatment system is
not in normal operation, the concentration of SO2, and HCL will remarkably increase
compared to that of normal operation while the increase of the concentration of HCl
will be more obvious. However the concentration of SO2, and HCL in each sensitive
spot can still meet the requirements of Ambient Air Quality Standard (GB3095-1996)
and Design of Sanitary Standards of Industrial Enterprises (TJ36-79).

7.2 Impact analysis on water environment

Water Supply The proposed project will use the Yellow River water of Queshan
Reservoir through the East Union Water Supply Project. The annual water
requirement is 2.8 million m3. It will have little impact on the water supply to Jinan
urban area and will not bring any unfavorable impacts on other consumers of Queshan
Reservoirs.
Water Discharge The leachate and wastewater of the proposed project and the
dumping site of Jinan No.2 Municipal Solid Wastes Treatment Center will be entirely
discharged into Tuhai River after being treated in their wastewater treatment station
and reaching the discharge standards respectively. The leachate and domestic
wastewater quality of the proposed project will meet the Grade 2 limits of Integrated
Discharge Standard of Water Pollutants in Haihe River Basin in Shandong
(DB37/675-2007). The general industrial wastewater of the proposed project
composed of the drainage of water purification station and circulating cooling system
are clean water and will not have any negative impact on the water quality of Tuhai
River.

7.3 Environmental impact assessment of solid waste treatment and disposal

program

All the slag of the proposed project will be comprehensively reused by Jinan Huanghe
Road & Bridge Corporation instead of being discharged or abandoned and will have
very small impact on the environment. On the other hand, the cooperation with local
enterprises on slag reuse will benefit and boost local economic development and
improve living condition by provide more job opportunities.

The fly ash of the proposed project would have little impact on external environment
since the fly ash would not be discharged outside but would be collected and treated
with stabilization disposal.

The sludge of the Leachate treatment station and the Municipal Solid Waste in the
plant area would be treated daily and would have little impacts on the external
environment.

7.4 Impact forecast and assessment of acoustic environmental

The proposed project will bring a certain impact on the surrounding acoustic
environment after it is put into operation. On the other hand, due to the fact that most
of the sound sources of the project are distributed in the main workshop, and the
requirement of noise reduction has been taken into account in the equipment selection,
the impacted area is small. The noise value of every plant boundary can meet the
Grade 2 standard both in daytime and nighttime of the Emission Standard for
Industrial Enterprises Noise at Boundary (GB12348-2008).

7.5 Impact forecast and assessment of air environment

The generation of flue gas includes different kinds of air pollutants which are harmful
to the local air quality. The daily average concentration of TSP and PM10 are both
exceeding the limited value as explained before. After the project is built and put into
operation, its contribution to TSP will only occupy 1/100,000 of the current value and
22

has very little impact on the environment. Furthermore, the capacity of the new
landfill will be at 0.5% of the current one and the ash produced by the landfill will be
reduced by 250 times compared to that of the current one.

VIII. Assessment of Environmental Risk

By analyzing former accidents on record, the assessment mainly focuses on the

comparison over different possible environmental and environmental safety accidents
in the proposed project. Major environment risks of the proposed project are
determined as flue gas pollution caused by accident of flue gas treatment system and
fire or explosion accident at the storage tank area of diesel oil

When the accident of flue gas treatment equipment and cracking accident of the stack
happen, the carcinogenic risk of dioxin emission on children and adult is acceptable
and will have very small impact on human health.

In order to prevent leachate from polluting the external environment, we should first
control the generation of leachate, then control the process of collection and finally
the treatment and discharge of leachate. Certain amount of methane may be generated
in the storage process of waste in proposed project. In order to avoid the odor
pollution and explosion accident, the generation, collection and treatment of methane
must be strictly controlled. When the proposed project is put into operation, the waste
water mainly includes sewage and leachate, the control measures are mainly carried
out in the generation, collection and treatment process of wastewater.

IX. Conclusion and Suggestion

Jinan Municipal Solid Wastes Treatment Center is the only municipal waste treatment
facility in Jinan city. The dumping site of the Center will be at full capacity and is
going to be closed by the end of 2009. In order to treat municipal waste after the
closure of the dumping site, Jinan No.2 Municipal Solid Wastes Treatment Plant
incineration power plant will be built to achieve the goal of treating waste
23

harmlessly, quantity-reduced and recycled.

The construction of the proposed project meets the requirements of national industrial
policies and the related plans. By adopting internationally advanced technology and
key equipment and carrying out effective pollution control measures, both the online
and cumulative emission of pollutants can meet the requirements of related standards
and will have little impact on external environment. Strict risk prevention measures
shall be adopted for main risk factors and detailed emergency plan shall be
established to make sure that the environmental risks are at acceptable levels. The
construction of the proposed project is feasible in terms of environmental protection
after carrying out various environmental protection measures suggested in this
assessment.
Requirements and Suggestions
1In order that the ash content and heat value of waste entering the furnace meet
the requirement of designed value, it is suggested to accelerate the construction of
waste sorting facilities planned for Jinan No.2 Municipal Solid Wastes Treatment
Plant, and carry out sorting collection of solid waste in Jinan city.
2Reduce the PVC content in waste during the waste collection process so as to
reduce the generation of dioxin during incineration process.
3Strictly Control the source and composition of waste entering the plant and
forbid the incineration of hazardous waste and medical waste. Even municipal solid
waste source segregation would not been carried out in Jinan City, the useful material
would be collected and recycled from solid waste by scavenges. Meanwhile, several
solutions have been done to ensure the heat value of the incoming waste, such as
combining municipal solid waste with straw in winter while the heat value of the solid
waste is relatively low. Related to hazardous waste and medical waste, it is clearly
declared in BOT contract that no medical waste is allowed to enter the incineration
plant. Those medical waste and hazardous waste are separately collected and disposed
by local government.
