Tamil Nadu, in southern India, is to set up common bio medical waste treatment plants.
Gen Takahashi, Manager, JFE Engineering Corporation, said: "We have a history of building such facilities in cooperation with the civil society. The facility has taken anti-pollution measures to lower dioxins. It has been welcomed by the residents of the area. Taking advantage of this success, we hope to expand our reach in Southeast Asia to provide an optimal solution for waste disposal."
The facility also generates electricity using a steam turbine engine from heat produced by the incineration of waste.
It produces 43.3 million kilowatts per year, which is sold to an electric company. The electricity produced can meet the requirements of about 10,000 households.
Furthermore, gas from the facility is neutralized through advanced gas treatment equipment and then released into the atmosphere.
The ash generated after burning of the garbage, is being recycled as cement.
Masaki Hagiwara, Engineering Manager, Fujimi Sanitary Association, said: "Even waste from the facility is recycled. It has achieved zero landfill of waste."
The environmental protection concept of JFE Engineering is certain to be welcomed in the ASEAN countries and India.
