Visit to T·PARK

Dr. KS Chin and I visited to T·PARK (Transformation Park) on 27^th Aug 2021. We would like to observe if it is suitable for student visit because one of subjects in the course (ADSE2066) related to sustainability. When arrived, I took a photo in front of the entry.

Dr. Chin and I took a photo before went into the building. T·PARK signifies the continuous drive to shape Hong Kong’s “waste-to-energy” ambitions for the good of the community. It also reflects a vision to encourage positive change in people’s attitudes and behaviors towards waste management and resource recovery and recycling.

Then we saw the whole actives introduction banner in the walk of theater.

The whole T·PARK model was showed.

Before the tour, we attended the briefing video.

After that there were three teams followed with tour leader to visit different part of T·PARK including Sludge Grabber, Fluidized Bed Incinerator, Bag Filter, Reverse Osmosis plant, Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor (MBBR), Air Cooled Condenser, Steam Turbine, etc.

The Sludge Grabber is real size and it weights 4.85 tonnes empty and can lift 5 tones of sludge. It can move on average 24 full loads of sludge per hour that is 120 tonnes of sludge per hour, or 2880 tonnes per day.

The fluidized bed incinerator contains 690 individual air nozzles. Each incinerator can treat up to 550 tonnes per day of wet sludge and nearly 23 tonnes per hour.

Reverse Osmosis plant can produce up to 600m³ of water from sea water each day and the reverse osmosis system includes 24 vessels containing a total of 128 filter membranes.

Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor (MBBR) gives a total surface area for the bacteria to grow on of 2300m². 80Nm³ of air blows through the MBBR every hour to provide oxygen for the bacteria.

The left two cylinders contain activate carbon and then the three cylinders for acid and alkaline treatment, as well as the last five cylinders are Ash silos.
