CONSTRUCTION OF KWAI CHUNG INCINERATOR

******

THE KWAI CHUNG INCINERATOR PROBABLY THE LARGEST AND MOST MODERN IN ASIA AND SPECIALLY DESIGNED FOR LOCAL CONDITIONS OF EXTREME HIGH MOISTURE CONTENT IN THE REFUSE WILL SOON TAKE SHAPE ON THE RECLAMATION AT GIN DRINKER'S DAY.

SITE FORMATION HAS ALREADY BEEN COMPLETED AND FIRMS OF INTER- NATIONAL STANDING ARE BEING INVITED TO BE INCLUDED IN A SELECTED TENDER LIST FOR THE SUPPLY AND FABRICATION OF THE SUPERSTRUCTURE.

MAUNSELL CONSULTANTS ASIA, CONSULTING ENGINEERS COMMISSIONED BY THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT, HAVE DESIGNED AND WILL SUPERVISE THE PROJECT, WHICH WILL REQUIRE SOME 3,000 TONS OF FABRICATED STEELWORK.

ANOTHER MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR CONTRACT FOR THE SUPPLY AND INSTALLATION OF PLANT AND EQUIPMENT WAS SIGNED IN NOVEMBER, 1973.

WHEN FULLY OPERATIONAL BY LATE 1970, THE KWAI CHUNG INCINERATOR WILL BE ABLE TO HANDLE 900 TONS OF REFUSE A DAY AND, IF REQUIRED, UP TO 1,200 TONS A DAY.

IT IS DESIGNED IN SUCH A WAY THAT THE HEAT PRODUCED BY THE BURNING REFUSE CAN BE USED TO GENERATE ELECTRICITY WHICH IN TURN WILL OPERATE THE INCINERATION PLANT.

GASES PRODUCED WILL BE DISPERSED AT A HIGH LEVEL, WHILE DUST EMISSION WILL BE KEPT TO A MINIMUM BY HIGIEFFICIENCY DUST EXTRACTION EQUIPMENT.

THE INCINERATOR WILL NORMALLY OPERATE 24 HOURS A DAY AND WILL GREATLY HELP TOWARDS DISPOSING THE GROWING VOLUME OF DAILY REFUSE.
