Zubieta incinerator has been in testing since today
- After the smoke columns of the weekend, after the truce that has taken place these days, the smoke reigns over the high of Zubieta. Today is not any day, since last week the Council announced that the urban waste incinerator in Gipuzkoa will be launched this Thursday in testing.
Zarata mediatikoz beteriko garai nahasiotan, merkatu logiketatik urrun eta irakurleengandik gertu dagoen kazetaritza beharrezkoa dela uste baduzu, ARGIA bultzatzera animatu nahi zaitugu. Geroz eta gehiago gara, jarrai dezagun txikitik eragiten.
In the early morning, the zero of incineration was fired again. After the smoke columns of the weekend, there has been a parentheses and today there has been a return to smoke in the high of Zubieta. Today, 28 November, is not any day; from today, last week, representatives of the Provincial Council of Gipuzkoa announced in a guided tour of this infrastructure that they will be in the testing phase. It is expected that by March it will be able to function 100%, according to the forecast of Euskalmet.
The Alto de Zubieta last Sunday, November 24; as you can see in these images, the zero area of incineration was wet. For several weeks, the Biological Mechanical Treatment (BMT) plant has been continuously emitting smoke. On a guided visit by the incinerator that the representatives of the Council made last Friday with the media, they announced that this Thursday (28 September) will begin to burn waste. The furnaces were also switched on the same day.
And on Saturday, two more were added to the smoke column of the TMB plant. Although it is expected to be in a testing phase on Thursday, the fireplaces of the incinerator already smoked for last Saturday. On Sunday morning we went up to the zero area of incineration and we found that this was the case, with these images.
