WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR TRANSPORT AND TECHNICAL SERVICES BY DEPUTY G.C.L. BAUDAINS OF ST. CLEMENT
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 4th FEBRUARY 2014
Question
With regard to the Energy from Waste Plant, would the Minister -
- advise its maximum capacity in tonnage
- advise the current throughput in tonnage
- advise whether it has two separate streams'
- provide a list of the outstanding faults and when they occurred (not including minor issues such as the failure of a switch)
Answer
- The nominal throughput capacity for the plant is 105,000 tonnes per annum with a waste of a calorific value (CV) of 9.2 MJ/kg.
- The plant processed 71,785 tonnes of waste during 2013 and is operating at the level required to deal with the present Island waste production.
- The plant has two separate incinerator streams. These streams are linked to common components of the plant such as the waste bunker, maturation silo, lime storage silo and turbine.
- In the answer to question 7694 of November 2013 it was stated that there were 51 defects which still required attention. With the exception of a short shutdown, due to circumstances outside of TTS's control, the plant has operated continuously since then. CSBC (Jersey) Ltd is still working with TTS to resolve defects however there are some defects that cannot be closed out until the next planned shutdown in February 2014. No new defects have been raised since August 2013
Should the Deputy require further detail on these defects TTS Officers would be quite happy to arrange a meeting with the Deputy so that the defects can be reviewed.
