I was part of a commissioning team for sites like this. I am pleased to say that around 400Mw of plant over 10 years put into service by our team. Excellent work chaps and a pleasure to have known you all.
I Worked at Waste Company ( As garbage sorter, in Mississauga. And I didnt want to eat anything my lunch and dinner. Because even after clean the smell of dirty garbage was still on me.
I worked as an industrial hydroblaster in 2001 .we went to Nashville Thermal plant that burned trash for electricity…we cleaned the ash around the coils and did inspections to the coils .. the claw was called “ The Fluffer” which feed the augers the furnace
I run a large overhead crane very similar to that one at a waste to energy power plant and every time I see a teddy bear in the pit you know I'm picking that thing up. I feel like such a badass delicately swinging around a 10 ton crane just to pick up a bear. At one point I had 6 or 7 of them set out on the window sill visible from the parking lot until the boss threw them back in the pit :P
I love that this is happening. I had the same idea a few years back. I don't know where this plant is but yeah I think that this can be done in a very responsible way with superheated fires and exhaust filters/ catalytic converters. It's a whole lot better than ruining the land with landfills and filling the ocean with plastic. 👍👍
I work in such a factory in the Netherlands. We use the steam (40bar, 400 degrees Celsius) for electricity, house-warming and lowpressure steam for preheatingprocesses in the installation. The gasses will pass electrostatic filters, deNOx (katalysator), tube-filter with active coal (dioxines+furanes), washing tower (acids + SO2). Slack will be used for roadbuilding. There will always be a little part of waste they cant work with yet.
This plant in the video are swedish im not sure exactly where in sweden i live in gothenburg and we have one here butt i think the one in the video are on the East coast somewhere they talked in swedish and the trucks have swedish numberplates and company names
Where I live in New York USA is also the same except there are no dumps anymore in New York either trash is moved by truck or barge to New Jersey where it's also burned into electricity
@@jamespaluch3481 I'm sure some is. But I know for a fact they take the pa turnpike to the 201 exit blue mountain or 78w to 81 south to exit 44, jump over to 641. Both routes run to the cumberland county landfill. Dump trailers with Jersey plates lol
Mooi werk, ik was ook Kraandrijver in Alkmaar,,HVC,, gemiddeld 4 tot 5 half Ton Huisvuil in m'n Poliep in een keer . We hadden 3 Verbrandingsovens en 2 Huisvuilkranen. 1 Grofvuilkraan

Years ago before they had remote control and remote monitoring, the crane operator sat in a cab on top of the crane and was up there for 8 hours at a shift. They brought a jug of water to drink and a jug to pee in, and they brought their lunch. In every one of those now abandoned places that had these cabs, you can find adult magazines. These places were all male and guys would bring adult magazines into the cab. I kid you not It was a different time
burning the waste looks like a really good idea as it gets rid of it and it generates power so it is win win, the only thing i did not like was how the ash was dumped as it clearly still has steal in it which poses a hazard to people and animals and is just a waste, the ash really should go under a magnet separator that way the steal could be sold as scrap and reused. That glass recycling place is a mess and an accident waiting to happen, glass all over the very road that the drop off trucks are using or the way the trucks dump the load in a way where the load falls under the wheels of the truck, at best you are going to get a flat and at worst constantly driving over glass is going to cut up and weaken the tires so they fail when you least expect it
I dont even know what this clip is about anymore. First its in somewhere in canada, then its in Pakistan then its a guy fixing his bike? Is this what happens in a trash burning plant? 😮😮😮😮
there is currently no market for recycled plastic in the US. Most all of it gets burned even when you put it in the recycling bin at your home for collection like a good, compliant citizen
Steel,aluminum cans and paper are about it,everything else is to contaminated to reuse.china won't even buy it anymore.they say burning tires is cleaner than burning coal .

Have lived remote rural off gris her down under for about ten years or so, my the cities produce a lot of trash , knew that am no greenie but these throw away trash levels are unsustainable in my humble opinion. Guess thats why I live out here with my people where we do. Before anyone asks , solar, wind and rain water plus raise my own vegetables, hunt my own game , internet have satellite.
Interesting point there are companies that are mining old landfills , they can go back to the 50's or 60's 70's and 80's depending on what they wish to extract, its popular in Europe.
Yes and no. This mostly depends on why you are composting the rubbish and why it's being burnt. Looking at this video it is for basically making space so that their landfill can handle more rubbish in the same amount of space. But not everything can be burnt. Here in Sweden we buy rubbish (trash) from the UK and Norway. This comes on lorry's (trucks) and shipping containers. They come into 1 ton balls has we called them. There are rules of what should be sent to us. And there are spot checks of what is inside. And they should already be sorted into household waste, builders waste etc. 99.9% of what is sent to us is brunt. What we burn is used to make 100% clean electricity for the north of Stockholm. @@whez08
@@Seiskasatku I'm not talking about rusty colored big pieces. There are purple, blue, etc. smaller pieces that are obviously fabric or plastic. I care and am curious about how complete the combustion is.
they must be so proud of the British prime minister his one of there own..... such a shame we are not.. no sale or return here then where is Winston Churchill when you really need him
All that technology and they still have to hand carry pipe and shovel into buckets????? alot of hand work still. But that's job security which is a good thing
Anyone able to tell me what the point of the crane is? Is it taking it from the holder and dumping it into the incinerator? If so, why isn't this automated?
The job would not really be suited to automation, the main job is to move the rubbish from the front area to the back allowing for rotation of the rubbish while also keeping the front area clear for the next load to be dumped, the operator is also looking for things that should not be put in the incinerator like appliances / gas bottles and even human remains ( it is grim but people have tried in the past )
Perfect to produce "clean" electricity for charging EVs.... the hypocrisy of burning this stuff is staggering. People diligently sort green from plastic, paper, glass metal tins & cardboard, believing each stream of material goes off to make new things to consume when the reality is the trucks all recombine it then burn it!

How is it worse than coal? The trash comes from a multitude of sources, fossil and natural. At worst it is comparable to oil, taking into account the chemical composition of plastics, and at best comparable to biomass. And you have to get rid of the trash somehow anyway.
It probably is the same really but certain plastics burn horribly and release PCBs, PAHs, dioxins and furans. I'd prefer CO2 and Sulphur.@@hansmuller1625
Really reminds me of the incinerator scene in Toy Story 3.

does it smell in the operators booth?
Anyone able to tell me what the point of the crane is? Is it taking it from the holder and dumping it into the incinerator? If so, why isn't this automated?
I was thinking the same, maybe it's just a safety thing. As he can actively work around the vehicles dumping waste and respond to personnel.
The job would not really be suited to automation, the main job is to move the rubbish from the front area to the back allowing for rotation of the rubbish while also keeping the front area clear for the next load to be dumped, the operator is also looking for things that should not be put in the incinerator like appliances / gas bottles and even human remains ( it is grim but people have tried in the past )
Because I'd rather get paid doing it. Because it means more jobs for workers and less redundancies.
It's just not yet , it will be soon. AI will eventually do these jobs.
