The Bali Refuse Incineration Plant (traditional Chinese: 八里垃圾焚化廠; simplified Chinese: 八里垃圾焚化厂; pinyin: Bālǐ Lèsè Fénhuà Chǎng) is an incinerator in Bali District, New Taipei, Taiwan.[1] The chimney of the incineration plant is 150 m (490 ft) tall.[2]

History

The construction of the plant started in 1997 and completed in 2001.[3] With a total area of 3.5 hectares, the plant began its commercial operation the same year.[4]

Technical details

The plant has a capacity of treating 1350 tons of garbage per day.[5] To prevent the dissolved dioxin components from recomposing back to life due to temperature drop, an activated carbon injection unit is installed to adsorb heavy metals and dioxins by its porous nature, resulting in a clean air treatment.[6]
