Jakarta \u2014 The Jakarta Provincial Government has activated its Rorotan\nRDF (Refuse-Derived Fuel) Plant to help process Jakarta\u2019s waste and\nmaintain the stability of the waste management system following a\ncollapse at the Bantargebang final disposal site (TPST).<\/p>\n
Asep Kuswanto, Head of Jakarta\u2019s Environmental Affairs Agency, stated\non Tuesday that the measure aims to ensure waste management services\ncontinue operating optimally whilst parts of the Bantargebang site\nremain under remediation following the collapse.<\/p>\n
The Rorotan RDF facility began operations on Tuesday with an initial\ncapacity of approximately 300 tonnes per day, with plans to increase\ncapacity gradually to 750 tonnes per day this week. \u201cIt will then be\nincreased to 1,000 tonnes per day,\u201d Asep said.<\/p>\n
Currently, waste disposal services at Bantargebang continue through\nZone 1, Zone 2, and Zone 5 with a combined capacity of around 4,000\ntonnes per day. However, Zone 4 remains under remediation following the\ncollapse. Once cleanup work is completed, this zone will resume\noperations with an additional capacity of approximately 1,500 tonnes per\nday.<\/p>\n
In addition to the Rorotan RDF Plant, waste processing also continues\nat the Bantargebang RDF Plant, which handles around 800 tonnes per day,\nand at the Merah Putih waste-to-energy facility (PLTSa), which processes\napproximately 100 tonnes per day.<\/p>\n
Through this arrangement, the total waste that can be managed by the\nend of this week is estimated to reach approximately 6,700 to 7,150\ntonnes per day.<\/p>\n
\u201cThrough various handling measures currently underway, we hope that\noperations at the Bantargebang site can return to normal within one\nweek,\u201d Asep said.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/dki-province-operates-rorotan-rdf-facility-following-bantargebang-landfill-collapse-1773136435", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
