1 June , 2017  

LVIV. June 1 (Interfax-Ukraine) – The French firm Egis has proposed building an incineration plant for Lviv in the territory of combined heat and power plant No. 2 (CHPP-2), the manager of the project for the development of a waste treatment strategy for Lviv, Christopher Round, has said.
“We examined three sites and came to the conclusion that the best option would be a site in the territory of CHPP-2,” Round said at a press conference, explaining that the location and the developed infrastructure played in favor of this site.
According to him, the company plans in August this year to start designing the enterprise. During this time it will also study Lviv waste morphology to determine the best technology for waste treatment. It is expected that the implementation of the project will begin in 2018.
At the same time, Deputy Mayor of Lviv Serhiy Babak added the final decision on the technology will be made after studying waste morphology and the estimated cost of the plant.
As for the reclamation of the former waste landfill of Lviv, French experts plan to start its recultivation in the current year.
As reported, Lviv City Council and Egis signed a memorandum of cooperation to develop a waste treatment strategy for Lviv.
