voxelstudios -- Waste to Energy Plant in Mexico

[@tomkelly8827]

We need more of these in Canada too. Well done Mexico city, you are on the right track. If you want to get even more power out of the same amount of fuel, I hear combined cycle turbines are well worth the extra cost. A gas like propane is boiled at very low temperatures in the cooled flue gas after water has been boiled for the steam turbines. It is the same principal as a steam turbine just with a liquid that boils at a much lower temperature

[@markbinnis6210]

This project was cancelled. Expensive. CDMX decided to focus on waste reduction instead.

[@gdotone1]

Mexico needs 10 of these.

[@-magedarqoub4390]

Please can you tell me the cost of this project

[@vanlinhnguyen4758]

how to get this model , great animation video , waste to energy wil be change the work we live in future .

[@kamaruleffendi]

Very nice animation!

[@StuffJason437]

UK are doing this too and removes so much waste out of landfill !!!.

[@danietkissenle]

Just so yalls know riverside CA had a plant like this 30 years ago, but our lovely unions and epa decided to get it shut down because they weren't making any money from it. It was a closed efficient plant that provided cheap clean power and politics and unions got it shutdown

[@Determinedfollower]

Dang. I hate when stuff like that happens.

[@WJCTechyman]

No, it wasn't the EPA or Unions, most likely the penny pinching of expensive executives and investors since everything is a commodity in the US due to deregulation and the unregulated free-market capitalism that you probably know (little about) and love. Also, that penny pinching would keep the emissions fairly high because that adds an extra expense to the whole process.

Excellent, Maybe you can use the RDF-5 to vanish the impact of circumstances

[@yancyfaye]

Hi! can we use this video for educational purposes?? thank you.

I will be the first to bring change in Indonesia

All the best

How are you treating the dioxins, heavy metals, and waste water coming out of this facility? How do you prevent these contaminants from reaching subterranean aquifers or spreading through the air?

[@StanleySweet14]

Over 800 degrees c is enough to eliminate most dioxins during the combustion process.

[@Emperor9992001]

Not only are dioxins broken by such gasification but almost all toxic waste outside of radioactive waste can be broken down.

[@williamrebune5588]

Pasquale Gelardi Take it easy. We learn everyday

[@mistermood4164]

there a filtration system in the loop to reduce emissions

[@seneca983]

@@Emperor9992001: Toxic waste that's a chemical element, like lead or mercury, cannot be broken down by heat and has to be filtered out somehow.

wow... WTE power plant of Mexico generating 965,000MW per hour

[@pastorgoof]

I was just wondering how is that possible I don't think there a power plant in the world that can produce that much electricity and to add insult to injury he say it can power 120,000 home

[@garthwhite7845]

Has to be 96.5 MW

[@Liberty_Freedom_Brotherhood]

Has this been built yet?

[@joshuawilson7201]

Who's doing the construction?

[@gosula.amaralingeswararao8698]

Good information sir

[@CuthbertNibbles]

I like the animation, but... 1:40 "965,000 MW per hour"

[@ian74747]

Three Gorges Dam only produces 22,500 MW per hour.

[@ericsperformanceparts1647]

Probably meant to say 965 MW. 965 TW seems like a lot, but they did not say how big this plant was...

[@rsinclair689]

Yeah that number is a little suspect.

[@dianalorena9477]

Un gran proyecto! Una pena que quieran frenarlo solo con argumentos políticos...

[@heiwarish4330]

entonces este proyecto no esta e proceso ya?

[@isurumadhusankka1389]

Anybody here operates reciprocating grate waste incinerator? I need to know in depth details. Please help

[@santiagohenao3030]

¿Está planta no genera ningún tipo de contaminación al aire o al agua? ¿Esto es energía limpia o se produce alguna mínima cantidad de desechos?

[@mauriciomontiel1493]

Santiago Henao puedo decirte, que nosotros trabajamos en conjunto de otras plantas "COVANTA" ese su nombre de las otras plantas, es la manera mas facil de deshacerse de la basura, y la que menos deteriora el medio ambiente, produciendo electricidad, y convirtiendo los residuos hasta un 90% menos que el de un vertedero....si hace esto la ciudad es un gran beneficio, en estados unidos, almenos cada estado cuenta con 3 plantas, en cada estado, en elgunos hasta 8 plantas como el caso de florida, Massachusetts, maine entre otros estados....pero algo si es seguro, obtendremos beneficios de esta planta de energia.

You could do it Yeah we do this on people comport but we need to change people and materials It takes time What can do

[@MrY4li]

Did he really say 965,000 MW ?

[@Diseaseisreversible]

No 1.21 gigawatts

[@jeraldsantosmunoz6273]

Is it clean? Just like nuclear powerplants?

[@WJCTechyman]

Nowhere near. One of the beneficial byproducts of the Bruce Nuclear Power Plant in Ontario, Canada is it is a world supplier of medical and scientific isotopes. It is also the "flex fuel" equivalent to auto engines. It can take a variety of fission materials that conventional American plants can't.

[@rockrock8182]

This is Singapore

[@scottcharney1091]

He said "fluid discharge."

[@wade5941]

This makes so much sense. Kinda odd that the greens are not pushing this technology.

[@WJCTechyman]

Probably because the facts outweighed the benefits. Like coal, combustion of garbage has some nasty by-products. That said, if there were regulations on what kind of garbage is permitted to be burned so separating that can be somewhat problematic.

[@instakillgaming]

it's steam? wouldn't it be smoke

[@WJCTechyman]

Through the combustion of garbage, that hot gas (with the soot that is smoke) passes through a boiler to take water and make it into steam for the turbine. This technology has been used for over 200 years to varying degrees. It first started in Britain for pumping water, then made it into vehicles like trains and then into ships as well as power plants for factories. Along the way, the technology has been improved but mainly used these days for generating electric power and some niche applications with hobbyists.

[@yuv8482]

How much does it cost to build ?

[@Tacoman1967]

We can't afford to not build it.

[@Utkarshgg]

By textbook, it should cost 650-1000 dollars per tonne of waste

[@sadiazia4103]

Cost of the project

[@raymondalpha5880]

good question

[@Napoleon_Blownapart]

Too much for you
