(best examples and good practices) on household organic waste ...

209
The project was constructed in an area covering 235 dectares near the dump
of "Kouroupito", where untreated waste of the Prefecture used to be disposed
of. The plant is designed to operate six (6) hours per day, 5 days a week (260
days per year). It will have approximately eighty (80) employees when fully
developed. Its total installed power is 2.3MW.
The plant's total operational costs, when it has been fully developed, are
estimated to approach 40€/ton. Revenues expected from the sales of soil
improvement <strong>and</strong> recyclable material are expected to reach approximately
15€/ton. The net operational cost is estimated to be 25-30€/ton.
The facilities combine modern, innovative <strong>and</strong> environment <strong>and</strong> human
friendly technologies <strong>and</strong> comprise an integrated <strong>and</strong> effective solution for
the management of household waste which is produced in the broader area of
Chania.
With respect to the construction of the Project, the first cell of the SSBSW was
completed <strong>and</strong> set into operation within the first six (6) months from the
signature of the contract, when the sanitary burial of mixed waste began in
February of 2003. (P.A.C., 2009)
