CLEANER EMISSION FROM INCINERATORS
****
THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT PLANS TO INSTALL TWO ELECTROSTATIC PRECIPITATORS AT THE KENNEDY TOWN INCINERATION PLANT.
TENDERS FOR THE WORK WILL BE INVITED NEXT FEBRUARY FROM PREQUAL IF IED CONTRACTORS FOR THE DESIGN, SUPPLY AND INSTALLATION OF THESE ELECTROSTATIC PRECIPITATORS AT THE PLANT.
A SPOKESMAN FOR PWD SAID THAT THE HIGH EFFICIENCY EQUIPMENT WOULD REMOVE MOST OF THE DUST FROM THE FLUE GAS PRIOR TO DISCHARGE TO THE ATMOSPHERE.
THEREFORE, HE SAID, EMISSION FROM THE CHIMNEY WOULD BE CLEAN AND THE ENVIRONMENT FURTHER PROTECTED.
THE SPOKESMAN SAID THAT A NOTICE INVITING APPLICATIONS FROM APPROPRIATE CONTRACTORS FOR INCLUSION IN THE PREQUALIFICATION LIST WAS PUBLISHED IN THE GOVERNMENT GAZETTE LAST FRIDAY (OCTOBER 10).
ONLY CONTRACTORS OR EQUIPMENT SUPPLIERS WITH EXPERIENCE IN THE DESIGN, SUPPLY AND INSTALLATION OF THESE EQUIPMENT WILL BE CONSIDERED IN THE LIST OF PREQUALIFIED CONTRACTORS.
FURTHER INFORMATION ON REQUIREMENTS FOR PREQUAL IF ICATION MAY BE OBTAINED FROM THE ELECTRICAL AND MECHANICAL OFFICE OF THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT AT CAROLINE HILL ROAD.
IT IS EXPECTED THAT THE CONSTRUCTION AND INSTALLATION OF THE NEW EQUIPMENT WOULD START IN 1982 AND BE COMPLETED IN EARLY 1983.
THE PROJECT WILL BE SUPERVISED BY THE ELECTRICAL AND MECHANICAL OFFICE OF THE PWD.
