makeshift burners

Depending how efficient the scrubbing is, the makeshift incinerators may put more pollution onto the west of Japan than the local garbage burners would. At 1000 tons/day, 3.4 million tons requires about 10 years to process. At 5000 tons/day, about 2 years. edit delete replymercedo wrote today at 5:03 AM Makeshift burners include 2 kiln burners and 3 stoker burners. kiln burners; http://blog-imgs-56-origin.fc2.com/k/u/r/kurakurasakura/20120517113244d87.jpg One of them opened in May. 3 stoker burners under construction; http://blog-imgs-56-origin.fc2.com/k/u/r/kurakurasakura/20120517112729c01.jpg One incinerator cost 4 billion yen, which is equivalent to 51 million U.S. dollars. This incinerator is especially designed for burning disaster debris. On the other hand our local ones are for general garbage. Besides makeshift burners are built in no man's land. Our local ones are located in a city. Kitakyushu/Kokura will get 4 billion yen from government in aid of this transaction.
