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…

Central Australia’s Creature graveyard
The figure has been shown from the Alice Springs regional waste management facility report for October. The dead pet you asked the vet to dispose of will wind up buried in landfill, in most places across the nation, and Alice Springs is not any different. “it is a combo of horses, dogs, cats, pigs, any animal that dies,” explained Alice Springs council technical services manager Greg Buxton. “Road kill, kangaroos and that, the rangers select up them, and you’ve got to dispose of them someplace sterile. We place them at the back of landfill.” The facility is on track to surpass last year’s total, with 3.7 tonnes deposited at the first quarter of the year. Mr Buxton said most regional councils across the nation dispose of dead animals in garbage. “In the bigger cities they have an incinerator type setting where they cremate themwhereas we don’t have an incinerator here,”…
Burnaby garbage incinerator operator sued over pollution concerns
The Greater Vancouver Sewerage and Drainage District is suing Maxxam Analytics International Corp. and Covanta Burnaby Renewable Energy ULC for Supposedly failing to properly Examine fly ash samples in the district’s waste-to-energy facility in Burnaby. Non-hazardous fly ash is accepted and disposed of in the Cache Creek landfill, the claim states. Samples analyzed by Maxxam in the summer and autumn in 2012, however, came back indicating high levels of cadmium that exceeded acceptable levels permitted for disposal in the landfill. The results, the district claims,”called into question the power of the treatment of fly ash” at the center, forcing the plaintiff to incur charges by requiring greater sampling and testing, investigating the origin of the high cadmium levels and locating another disposal site for fly ash in Alberta. After the Ministry of Environment hit on the district using an advisory letter of non-compliance, the plaintiff hired”consultants, experts and legal counsel”…
