In order to ensure the effective supervision of the management of refuse incineration plants, the Environmental Protection Administration (EPA) has conducted following tasks and prepared relevant laws, regulations and systems from year 2001:  The propagation of ‘The implementation guidance for operation, examination and performance appraisal of the operated refuse incineration plants’ on April 20, 2001. (amended on April 18, 2002 and abolished on July 26, 2006)  The propagation of ‘The essentials of the examination and appraisal of refuse resource recovery from incineration plants for the EPA’ on April 13, 2004. (amended on July 13, 2005 and July 26, 2006 and August 10, 2009) Reviewing the projects for management and appraisal work of refuse incineration plants since 2003, the tasks were usually revised in order to match up the waste treatment policy and target. In addition to the appraisal work, SWIMS maintenance and management work of refuse incineration plants, by the service life increasing, the drafting of performance evaluation criterion for refuse incineration plants and collecting the information of new generation waste treatment technologies etc. are also fit into the project scope between 2007 to 2010, to achieve the goal of establishing the performance evaluation rules gradually of refuse incineration plants. The purpose is to check the plant’s performance in order to prepare the plans of relevant measures. The main purpose of this project was to assist the EPA in the promotion of management affairs of refuse incineration plants in accordance with the EPA’s policy, and to expand the effectiveness of the examination and appraisal work based on the findings of this project, and to collect the techniques about waste-to-energy / resources and to plan some cases. The executing period of the third year of this three-year project was from Sep. 1, 2011 to Aug. 31, 2012 and major tasks included:  To draft the EPA’ subsidy and supervision programs to Taitung County refuse incineration plant  To visit the pyrolysis and high speed compost (or anaerobic digestion) techniques and collect the heat recovery cases of refuse incineration plant and draft the activation plan of Bali WWTP digester  To conduct an examination, appraisal and improvement of the supervision of the management of refuse incineration plants  To expand the functions of the “Solid Waste Incinerator Management System”, and to assist in the data input and maintenance  To draft the executing plan of bio-energy pilot center established at Pengfu County, Kinmen County and Lienchiang County.
