Ideas and Measures of Resource Recycling

To achieve our commitment to environmental sustainability, Guan Tian Plant uses a circulating fluidized bed (CFB) boiler that accepts a wide range of auxiliary fuels. In consideration of economic efficiency, corporate social responsibility, and the government's coal reduction policy, treated scrap tires are used as an alternative fuel. In 2022, the plant further increased its use of solid recovered fuel (SRF) as a boiler alternative fuel to effectively improve the utilization of resources while contributing as much as possible to society and the environment. To cope with high prices of coal and the government's coal reduction policy, Guan Tian Plant increased the use of SRF in 2022. Currently, the main types of SRF in the market are made from waste plastics, waste textiles, and waste wood. Guan Tian Plant obtained the combustion permit in April 2023, and the burning of SRF began afterward. In 2023, Guan Tian Plant used 24,614 metric tons of scrap tires and 3,620 metric tons of SRF, achieving an overall alternative fuel (scrap tires + SRF) heating value substitution rate of 25.74%.。
