The improvement works benefit sorting operations with the expansion of the existing building plant fraction rest in 1,821 square meters and biological treatment, for which it has built a new building for fermentation and maturation of matter Organic
The Mayor of Lorca, Francisco Jodar, along with the Minister of Water, Agriculture and Environment of the CARM, Adela Martinez Cacho, inaugurated this morning the new treatment plant for household waste, which works to improve the classification and allow treatment biological incoming trash.
It notes that the Waste Management Center closes the comprehensive treatment of domestic waste with improvements in sorting operations and biological treatment.
With the launch of the third phase of improving the facilities of Waste Management the full course of treatment of household waste entering the facility, local scope is closed.
The improvement works benefit sorting operations with the expansion of the existing building plant fraction rest in 1,821 square meters and biological treatment, for which it has built a new building for fermentation and maturation of matter Organic plant from the treatment of domestic waste.
This infrastructure covers an area of ​​7,431 square meters.
It is complete the two phases launched in May 2013 and August 2014, respectively.
In the first, the rest fraction line, which was aimed at improving waste segregation house and empower recoverable income by expanding and modernizing the line triage and selection of Waste Management Centre, heart built recycling the region.
The second resulted in a facility that ensure the quality of a designed basically to enrich soils in organic farming as amended final product.
The economic pillar of automation of the plant as a whole is around 12 million euros, as the investment line residual fraction was 3.6 million euros, the cost of refining line was around 1 3 million euros and the latest enhancement represents an investment which stands at 7 million euros.
The facilities are intended inaugurated the expansion of operations classification and biological treatment.
As for the improvements in the operations of classification, it would highlight the provision of new equipment automatically converted into the plant.
They have built a new trommel with two different types of screen size (200 mm and 350 mm), a rompebolsas, a ballistic separator to discriminate between rolling stock and planar, four optical separators can automatically classify all plastic containers, cartons and paper and paperboard;
induction separator for aluminum containers, a press for ferric containers and several conveyors.
The above equipment, with existing, give the ability to, in addition to the rest fraction, treating the selective collection of light packaging.
Hence this facility now Treatment Plant of household waste is denominated.
This automation allows the operating personnel triage, instead of selecting containers and other recyclable materials, proceed to correct the mistake optical separators, estimated at a maximum of 10% inappropriate.
In addition, they will work in a more comfortable and healthy conditions.
As to improvements in biological treatment operations, it has built a new building for fermentation and maturation of the organic matter from the treatment plant of household waste in piles to do with it, which periodically turning .
When the oxidation process takes place, they are ready for the refining plant is attached and operational since August 2014. The product feeder site has changed and is now inside the new building to win in operation.
This facility enables better control the process of fermentation and maturation and prevent leachate generation.
A municipal facilities that manages public commercial Limusa carry fraction rest, plus Lorca, the municipalities of Puerto Lumbreras, Totana, Aledo, Alhama de Murcia and Eagles;
and lightweight packaging Totana, Puerto Lumbreras, Librilla and Eagles.
