New Courtice incinerator Strikes further delays
CLARINGTON — Clarington’s brand new energy-from-waste facility is going to be delayed a second time because the boilers aren’t operating correctly and the continuing startup period may cost Durham Region an extra $1 million. “I would rather see it delayed and performed right than hurried,” said Clarington Mayor Adrian Foster. The Durham York Energy Centre centre, situated in Courtice, has been scheduled to be fully operational on Dec. 14, 2014. Currently the Durham York Energy Centre is not expected to be in full working order before the past quarter of 2015. The significant systems of the EFW facility are analyzed. The boiler temperature is large enough to the combustion process however the steam temperature is not high enough, and officials aren’t certain what the issue is, says Durham’s works commissioner, Cliff Curtis. The steam temperature needs to be large enough to drive the turbine-generator. If the steam is too trendy…
New Courtice incinerator hits further Flaws

Baltimore teens take out the Garbage
Youth battle a waste incinerator. It is the threat of dangerous air pollution that has pupils at Curtis Bay’s Benjamin Franklin High School leaving the classroom and showing in the streets of Baltimore. In Curtis Bay, a neglected waterfront neighborhood in the northwestern fringes of Baltimore, an alliance of environmental activists and local groups–such as an energetic and inventive group of high school students–has succeeded in holding off the construction of an great trash incinerator project. The pupils wowed members of the Baltimore Board of Education this May with a demonstration that mixed closely researched public and environmental health evaluation with a hip-hop pattern that’d board members around their feet. Greg Sawtell, a secretary with Baltimore-based United Workers (among many organizations allied against the incinerator), says conversations with faculty board members because have left him optimistic that they will oppose the project. although planning work on the incinerator started last…
Adolescentes de Baltimore levam o lixo para fora
Os jovens lutam contra um incinerador de resíduos. É a ameaça da poluição do ar perigosa que faz com que os alunos da Benjamin Franklin High School de Curtis Bay deixem a sala de aula e se manifestem nas ruas de Baltimore. Em Curtis Bay, um bairro marginal abandonado na orla sudoeste de Baltimore, uma aliança de ativistas ambientais e grupos de bairro – incluindo um grupo enérgico e criativo de estudantes do ensino médio – conseguiu impedir a construção de um enorme projeto de incinerador de lixo. Os alunos impressionaram os membros do Conselho de Educação de Baltimore em maio deste ano com uma apresentação que misturou análises ambientais e de saúde pública cuidadosamente pesquisadas com uma rotina de hip-hop que deixou os membros do conselho de pé. Greg Sawtell, um organizador da United Workers, com sede em Baltimore (uma das várias organizações aliadas contra o incinerador), diz que…
Novo incinerador Courtice atinge mais atrasos
CLARINGTON – A nova instalação de energia de resíduos de Clarington será adiada uma segunda vez porque as caldeiras não estão operando corretamente e o período de inicialização em curso pode custar à Região de Durham um adicional de $ 1 milhão. “Eu prefiro ver isso atrasado e bem feito do que apressado”, disse o prefeito de Clarington, Adrian Foster. A instalação do Durham York Energy Center, localizada em Courtice, estava programada para estar totalmente operacional em 14 de dezembro de 2014. Agora, o Durham York Energy Center não deve estar em pleno funcionamento até o último trimestre de 2015. Os principais sistemas das instalações da EFW foram testados. A temperatura da caldeira é alta o suficiente para o processo de combustão, mas a temperatura do vapor não é alta o suficiente, e os funcionários não têm certeza de qual é o problema, diz o comissário de obras de Durham,…
