Ulaanbaatar, November 20, 2024 /MONTSAME/. The Governor's Office of the Capital City of Mongolia plans to launch phased measures to build a sludge drying and incineration plant and a waste-to-energy plant between 2024 and 2028 as part of improving Ulaanbaatar's engineering infrastructure.
Although the New Central Wastewater Treatment Plant has been completed, it cannot be put into operation as the sewage pipeline and sludge drying plant have not been constructed, necessitating a new sludge drying and incineration plant.
“Currently, we are collecting sludge on a
field, drying it naturally, and burying it. Many countries burn the sludge in closed incineration furnaces, extracting energy and gas, and using the remainder as
construction materials. In the first phase, we are going to announce a tender for building
a sludge drying and incineration plant under a public-private partnership,” stated the Governor of the Capital City and Mayor of Ulaanbaatar Nyambaatar Khishgee, in his report
on the construction projects to be carried out in the coming years within the
framework of the “20-Minute City.”
Second Deputy Governor of the Capital City Amartuvshin Amgalanbayar was tasked with announcing another tender for a waste-to-energy plant at the centralized landfills at Tsagaan Davaa and Moringiin Davaa by this December 2024. After the plants are built, the Governor's Office of the Capital City plans to take the next phase of actions including closing the centralized landfills and improving waste collection management.
