Objective
The project aims at exploiting waste deposit gases and using the regenerative energy in order to contribute to the protection of natural resources. The Demirtas waste deposit site represents the first opportunity in Turkey to have an environmental demonstration project implemented, which meets the principles established in the Barcelona Convention. The initiative will demonstrate in situ that, apart from minor side-effects (odours, greenhouse gases), such techniques, routinely used in central Europe, not only contribute effectively to protecting the environment but can also be operated economically. Experience has already shown that in the costly area of waste disposal technology, practical measures are much more effective than theoretical knowledge. Because of proven economic viability, ease of control of this type of installation and potential re-utilisation of the results, there is a good chance that further plants will be installed.
The City of Bursa has given the rights of exploitation of the waste site to the Aksa Makina Sanayi company (Istanbul) , which will enable it to start implementing the "Demirtas waste dump gas recovery project". Aksa has designed a gas-capture system which makes it possible to exploit the potential energy of the waste dump gas (4,6 KW/m3 of gas) by using an internal combustion engine driving an electricity generator. The maximum output of the power plant is 1 MW electricity. Aksa will employ the most recent technology in the field, including equipment (special lean-mix gas engines and controls), and using a German engineering bureau carry out the installation.
In Turkey the city of Bursa has become a forerunner in the area of waste disposal, particularly in waste-deposit technology. Since 1995 it has operated a new household waste site, constructed with regard to German legislation. In addition, for the first time in Turkey, the old municipal Demirtas waste deposit was closed, sealed and re cultivated. These measures have aroused strong public interest, documented by many previous visits by community representatives from other municipal bodies. To consistently achieve the target set for significantly minimizing the air emission situation of the old site, it became necessary to introduce supplementary measures to capture and exploit the bio-gases resulting from organic decomposition processes within the waste deposit.
