Earthlinkers visited Keppel Segher s Waste-to-Energy plant in Tuas this Friday, February 21. The visit gave Earthlinkers a comprehensive overview of Keppel s waste management processes – processes that enable them to treat 800 tonnes of solid waste daily to generate about 22MW of green energy. Earthlinkers observed, as machinists carefully maneuvered claw cranes to pick up waste enclosed in a room 22 meters deep. They watched, captivated, as this waste was then sent to boiler rooms where they were consumed by fire. Viewing these processes in person shed light on the massive amount of waste that Singapore residents cast daily and the complex mechanisms that engineers have innovated to ensure that their disposal is done in an eco friendly manner.
