Industrial Waste<br />

The correct treatment and disposal of industrial waste is an<br />

essential element in an efficient waste management<br />

system. The waste treatment at <strong>the</strong> source is <strong>the</strong> most<br />

appropriate method <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> treatment processes with<br />

reduced capital costs, while <strong>the</strong> centralized equipment is fit<br />

<strong>for</strong> managing <strong>the</strong> waste that requires big capital investments<br />

and <strong>for</strong> enterprises that generate a small quantity<br />

of waste.<br />

Since October 2003, <strong>the</strong> company S.C. "LAFARGE<br />

ROMCIM" S.A. Medgidia has <strong>the</strong> environmental permit <strong>for</strong><br />

co-incineration - using combustible and non-combustible<br />

waste from o<strong>the</strong>r industries as partial substitutes <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> fuel<br />

and traditional matters used <strong>for</strong> cement production.<br />

Accepted categories of waste, according to <strong>the</strong> environmental<br />

authorisation:<br />

• Solid or pasty fuel waste resulted from oil tank cleaning or<br />

oil product storage, from decontamination of <strong>the</strong> polluted<br />

soils, varnish, grounds, lakes and paints.<br />

• Solid combustible waste of rubber, used tyres, used<br />

rubber bands<br />

• Liquid combustible waste - used oils<br />

• Aluminium clinker<br />

• Polyethylene foil<br />

Urban Nature and Green Areas<br />

The functions of <strong>the</strong> flora in <strong>the</strong> urban environment are:<br />

retaining <strong>the</strong> soil humidity, diminishing <strong>the</strong> green house<br />

effect by absorbing carbon dioxide, diminishing <strong>the</strong><br />

quantity of suspended particles in <strong>the</strong> air, regulating <strong>the</strong><br />

quantity of light. The trees and shrubs <strong>plan</strong>ted around <strong>the</strong><br />

buildings have a positive influence on <strong>the</strong> microclimate,<br />

reducing <strong>the</strong> effects of heat and dryness during <strong>the</strong> warm<br />

season and <strong>the</strong> blizzard effect in <strong>the</strong> cold season. The air<br />

humidity resulted from water extraction from <strong>the</strong> soil<br />

reduces <strong>the</strong> air temperature by 5-10sC, and recent<br />

research indicates an increase of 3-6% in rainfall, compared<br />

to <strong>the</strong> fields with no vegetation.<br />

Green Spaces<br />

The green areas represent a degree of appreciation <strong>the</strong><br />

urban <strong>plan</strong>ning of <strong>the</strong> municipality of Medgidia. As a consequence,<br />

<strong>the</strong> monitoring and control of <strong>the</strong> specific<br />

activities regarding <strong>the</strong> green spaces ensures <strong>the</strong> aes<strong>the</strong>tic<br />

and practical value requested by <strong>the</strong> citizens. The parks<br />

stretch over a surface of 20.3 ha, while <strong>the</strong> green spaces<br />

occupy <strong>21</strong>.3 ha. The leisure areas represent 15 ha.<br />

Sludge<br />

The sludge is <strong>the</strong> result of <strong>the</strong> wastewater treatment from<br />

<strong>the</strong> wastewater treatment <strong>plan</strong>t owned by EDILMED S.A.
