- Brief Project Introduction
- Progress up to now
- Findings

MW in China
- Annual Production of MW 670,000 tons (i.e.
1,780 tons/day)! - Incineration is a convenient solution of MW
disposal - However, MW incineration is a big issue as the
release source of DIOXINS!
4
MW in China
- MW Incineration has been identified as one of
major source of dioxins release in China - Annual release of dioxins was estimated to be
450g TEQ, accounting for above 8 of the total
releases to air from all sources (reference year
2004). - National Programme for Construction of Facilities
for Disposal of Hazardous Waste and Medical Waste - An important program for ESM of HW
5
MW in China
- to construct 332 medical waste disposal
facilities, most of which would be incinerators.
The construction of most facilities is ongoing - Dioxins release have been considered, but not
meeting the requirements of BAT/BEP Guideline - Emission standard for dioxins is 0.5 ng TEQ/Nm3
- Theres a gap between the standard and the level
in line with BAT/BEP measures

Project Introduction
- The full-sized PD was formally reported to GEF in
March,2007 - GEF-CEO approved in Nov. 2007.

Project Introduction
- Major components of the Project
- Upgrade the incineration equipment to the BAT
performance level - Replace outdated or non-viable incineration
facilities with alternative non-incineration
techniques that avoid the formation and emission
of dioxins - Promote BEP in medical institutions
- Comprehensively apply regulatory, administrative,
technical and market instruments to - Promote affordable or commercially available
supply of technologies and equipment - Promote the commercialization of MW disposal

Progresses up to now
- Gaps between National Program and requirements of
SC identified - Relevant stakeholders actively participate in the
project to take timely and joint actions by - Experience learning from other countries on MW
- Involving environmental protection planning
agencies to implement the project - Cooperation with policy makers and regulators
- Medical institutions and disposal operators
welcome the incentive packages of the project
13
Progresses up to now
- Regulations of MEP changed to allow the use of
non-combustion technologies A leap forward - Over 50 non-combustion disposal facilities are
being planed or built, accounting for about 35
of Project goal - Biggest Winners GEF (the catalytic role )
14
Findings
- Project fits and reorients the National Program
although there is a regret that the Project comes
in after the National Program being launched - Dioxin control may not be a priority at current
stage and needs to be main-streamed in national
actions for environmental protection - The application of BAT is always a high cost.
- Upgrade incinerators to meet project
requirements, 0.1 ng TEQ release limits
_retrofitting cost is quite high and lack of cost
effective technologies - The change of mind is always the most difficult
matter
15
Acknowledgement
- We gratefully acknowledge the support of GEF
and UNIDO on the SC implementation in China - -for the understanding of Chinas huge
challenge in managing MW and need for timely
actions - - for the strong technical support in
project development and implementation
