1. GENERAL

1.1 General Context of Project

Liuzhou is located in the center by north of Guangxi and middle reaches of Liujiang River, its geographic position is E 108°50′~109°44′ to N 23°54′~24°50′. After adjustment of administrative area in 2002, Sanjiang, Rongshui, Rong’an, Luzhai, Liucheng, and Liujiang 6 counties are under jurisdiction of Liuzhou city, its area is increased to 18707.25 km2, population increased to 3.625 million (including non-agriculture population of 1.2639 million) the urban area is 658.31km2 with urban population of 1.0184 million (by Yearbook of 2007).

Liuzhou city is a key industrial city and second largest city of Guangxi。 Since reform and opening, its social economy and urban construction have been being developed rapidly, the economic development also brings a depravation of environment. At present, plenty of untreated urban wastewater from urban area and counties are discharged directly, thus rivers and ditches are polluted, it is quite urgent to improve the water environment of Liuzhou.

The total estimated investment of LZEMP II is RMB1.8316 billion. To expedite the wastewater treatment, USD150 million loans (RMB1.0245 billion) from the World Bank is proposed to finance LZEMP II.Liuzhou Municipal Wastewater Treatment Co., Ltd /LMWTC entrusted GuangxiEnvironmentalProtectionResearchAcademy(GEPRA) to prepare CEA on the basis of environmental assessment of all Sub-projects implemented and related environmental assessment reports finished.

Except CEA, following two relevant reports are prepared by GEPRA:

1) Summary of CEA: extracted on basis of CEA

2) Environment Management Plan: prepared on basis of EMP of subprojects, including environment impact, mitigation measures, environment monitoring plan, institution arrangement, capacity development and training and estimated cost.

dewatered sludge management Sub-project / Located within Yufeng Group Co., Ltd at Taiyang village at the west suburb of Liuzhou city. Treat dewatering sludge produced by Liuzhou and surrounding Longquanshan, Baisha, Yanghe, Labao and Guantang 5 WWTPs. The average sludge from Liuzhou WWTPs is about 300m3/d in 2010 and 500m3/d in 2020. The proper feeding volume of domestic sludge with moisture of 80% in kiln is 5% 0f total kiln system material feeding volume. The design sludge treatment capacity is 300m3/d,the production capacity of production line 2,3 and 4 are 3200t/d,2500t/d and 2800t/d respectively, the ratio of raw material to clinker is 1.65,so the maximum sludge treatment capacity of these 3 production lines is 264t/d, 206.25t/and 231t/d respectively, and the sludge from liuzhou WWTPs is about 300m3/d in near future. Because the production lines are overhauled regularly, to ensure the sludge from liuzhou WWTPs is treated, the dewatered sludge management sub-project proposes to use production line 2,3 and 4 to treat the sludge. Each kiln is designed to treat sludge 100t/d(4.17t/h) and is equipped with 1 set sludge pumping system . / Used as cement aggregate (replace part of clay) to produce cement / Treat sludge of 4 WWTPs of Liuzhou city collectively / ~2020

Summary of CEA

2.2.3 Sludge co-combustion subproject

The sludge from Liuzhou WWTPs is about 300m3/d in 2010 based on the current treatment capacity. The dewatered sludge management sub-project proposes to use production line 2, 3 and 4 to treat the sludge. Each kiln is designed to treat sludge 100t/d(4.17t/h) and is equipped with 1 set sludge pumping system ..

(1)sludge transport and storage process

Sludge is transported from WWTP to Guangxi Yufeng Cement Stock Co., Ltd by closed transportation vehicles and fed to kiln by relevant units

(2)Sludge disposal process flow in Cement kiln

The sludge is fed to the bottom of decomposing furnace by injecting unit and then to the smoke chamber in the end of kiln, where the sludge will stay for about 30 minutes with kiln internal temperature increasing from 900 to 1450 ℃ and become the clinker. The clinker will come out from the head of kiln and become cement after further processing. The pre-heaters of 2#, 3#, and 4# cement production line are five-class cyclone pre-heater which can recycle the raw meal, remove dust and pre-heat. The dust catcher behind the wet tower and dust catcher behind cooler are the electric Dust catcher. The wet tower is to pulverize the water and sprinkle to lower temperature and reduce the dust Specific resistance, it is charged easier. The dust catching rate of cement production line is 99.7&. refer to process flow diagram 2.1:
