To learn more about the concept of ‘Converting waste to energy’, a group of students had a visit in T Park on 20 September 2023. ‘T’ represents ‘Transformation’. T Park is a state-of-the-art sludge treatment facility specifically design to provide an innovative and eco-friendly solution for the problem of sewage sludge disposal in Hong Kong. The facility integrates a power station, a spa resort and a sludge treatment facility. It utilizes fluidized bed incineration technology, capable of burning 2000 tonnes of sludge every day and uses the excess heat energy to generate electricity. At full operation capacity, an excess of 2 MW of power is available daily. T Park signifies the continuous drive to shape Hong Kong’s ‘waste-to-energy’ ambitions for the good of the community. It also reflects a vision to encourage positive change in people’s attitudes and behaviors towards waste management and resource recovery and recycling.
