\n On 9 February, the Municipal Waste Disposal Plant in Bia\u0142ystok was officially opened, where electricity and heat will be produced thanks to thermal waste neutralization. The installation is friendly to the environment and the residents of Bia\u0142ystok. It is an element of the emerging modern waste management system, which also includes the implementation of selective waste collection and the construction of a sorting plant at the landfill in Hryniewicze. The construction of the CWDP is the largest investment in the Podlaskie Voivodeship in recent years. <\/strong>\n <\/p>\n

Bia\u0142ystok is one of the first cities in Poland whose authorities have seriously treated the problem of adapting waste management to European regulations. The EU policy assumes the maximum reduction of the amount of waste landfilled in the traditional way.<\/p>\n

\n Lech is implementing the project on behalf of the City of Bia\u0142ystok<\/strong>\n <\/p>\n

In 2010, the Municipality of Bia\u0142ystok entrusted the municipal company \u201cLech\u201d with the implementation of the project \u201cIntegrated waste management system for the Bia\u0142ystok agglomeration\u201d, the most important task of which was the construction of a municipal waste incineration installation. The company will also manage the newly built facility.<\/p>\n

The construction was carried out by a consortium of companies: Budimex S.A. (consortium leader), Keppel Seghers Belgium N.V. and Cespa Compania Espanola de Servicios Publicos Auxiliares S.A. The contract provided for the design of the installation and then the construction, which lasted 751 days. A total of 2000 people participated in it. During the period of the most intensive assembly work, there were 457 people on the construction site every day.<\/p>\n

On 31 December 2015, in accordance with the agreement, the facility was taken over by the \u201cLECH\u201d company from the contractor: \u2013 The construction of the CWDP in Bia\u0142ystok in record time and the fulfilment of all guaranteed parameters confirm Budimex\u2019s responsible and effective approach to the implementation of investments in the energy sector<\/em> \u2013Says Piotr \u015awiecki, <\/strong>Director of Power and Industrial Construction at Budimex. \u2013 Thanks to this project, we have expanded our competences. Our long-term goal is the strong position of Budimex as an EPC (Engineering, Procurement and Construction) company in the broadly understood energy sector.<\/em><\/p>\n

\n Co-financing of the project from the European Union <\/strong>\n <\/p>\n

The total cost of the project \u201cIntegrated waste management system for the Bia\u0142ystok agglomeration\u201d is PLN 393 million net, of which the construction of the CWDP in Bia\u0142ystok \u2013 PLN 333 million. For the implementation of the entire project, the \u201cLech\u201d company obtained PLN 210 million from the European Cohesion Fund, under Measure 2.1 Comprehensive projects in the field of municipal waste management with particular emphasis on hazardous waste of the Operational Programme Infrastructure and Environment. PLN 164 million comes from a grant from the National Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Management.<\/p>\n

and Environment. PLN 164 million comes from a grant from the National Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Management.<\/p>\n

\n Electricity and heat from waste<\/strong>\n <\/p>\n

The CWDP is able to process 15.5 tons of waste per hour, i.e. up to 372 tons per day. Up to 120 thousand of them can be thermally neutralized for a year. tons of municipal waste.<\/p>\n

Thanks to the technology used, it will be possible to produce approx. 38 thousand MWh of electricity and approx. 360 thousand GJ of heat energy that will go to the municipal heating network and will be used for own needs. This amount of electricity can power about 16 thousand. households, and heat energy in winter to heat about 875 single-family houses.<\/p>\n

The CWDP is to receive mixed municipal waste from Bia\u0142ystok and nine neighbouring municipalities. It is also assumed that residues from the waste sorting process will be accepted, the calorific value of which is above 6 MJ\/kg and, in accordance with the regulation of the Minister of Economy, they cannot be landfilled. The first transports of waste arrived at the facility at the end of September, when the contractor began the so-called \u201cWaste Transport\u201d. hot start-up of the installation.<\/p>\n

\n Environmental protection at the highest level<\/strong>\n <\/p>\n

\u2013 Environmental protection is a priority in the design and operation of the CWDP in Bia\u0142ystok. The facility is equipped with a flue gas treatment installation (FGD) that captures and neutralizes pollutants and toxic compounds<\/em> \u2013 says Micha\u0142 Stefanowicz, <\/strong>President of the Management Board of PUHP \u201cLECH\u201d in Bia\u0142ystok, which is the investor and manager of CWDP \u2013 The installation cleans flue gases from nitrogen oxides (NOx), acid pollutants, heavy metals, dioxins and fiurates, and dust. As a result, exhaust gas emissions are at a minimum level, far from the permissible values set out in the Regulation of the Minister of the Environment on emission standards from installations.<\/em><\/p>\n

The exhaust fumes are constantly monitored by Lech\u2019s services and environmental protection inspectorates. The CWDP in Bia\u0142ystok also uses state-of-the-art solutions that prevent unpleasant odours from the waste unloading hall from escaping to the outside \u2013 thanks to the vacuum generated, they are sucked inside the building. Therefore, they are not burdensome to the environment.<\/p>\n

\u2013 The construction of the CWDP and the creation of a modern waste management system is a benefit not only for the current residents of Bia\u0142ystok and the Bia\u0142ystok agglomeration, but also care for future generations who will be able to enjoy a good condition of the environment \u2013 adds Micha\u0142 Stefanowicz, <\/strong>President of the Management Board of PUHP \u201cLECH\u201d.<\/p>\n

\n The first incineration plants in Poland<\/strong>\n <\/p>\n

The CWDP in Bia\u0142ystok is one of the first to be put into operation in Poland and was the first in the country to receive an occupancy license. Similar installations were launched in Bydgoszcz and Konin. This year, they are to be ready in Pozna\u0144, Krak\u00f3w and Szczecin. In Western Europe, there are approx. 400 waste incineration plants.<\/p>\n
