Clean Park Orii

Facility overview

Clean Park Orii is a facility that incinerates general waste generated from the Jonan Eisei Management Association area (Uji City, Joyo City, Yawata City, Kumiyama Town, Ujitawara Town, and Ide Town).

Features

World's first membrane structure chimney for waste incineration facilities

The membrane is made of lightweight and highly durable construction material, well known for being used for the roofs of dome stadiums. This waste incineration facility uses this membrane material for its chimney instead of the conventional reinforced concrete. The result is a lighter chimney with an improved seismic performance. It also makes maintenance easier as there is no need for exterior wall painting.

Introduction of the latest image recognition system

In waste incineration, a stable combustion process is extremely important, as unstable combustion can lead to decreased power generation and the release of harmful gases. This facility has implemented the latest image recognition system to maintain stable combustion.

Tour content

Visitors can observe the entire process of waste being brought in, incinerated, and turned into ash. The waste crane, which can be up to about three meters wide, offers an impressive sight.
Visitors can learn about the facility's unique features through videos. It is also possible to handle and touch the membrane material used in the facility's chimney.

Accessibility for foreign guests

The facility welcomes a wide range of foreign visitors, including overseas government agencies, international companies, and international students. An interpreter is recommended to ensure full understanding during the tour. By making a reservation in advance, visitors can join a guided tour lasting about an hour, during which staff will also be available to answer questions.
Moreover, facility brochures are available in English, Chinese, and Korean, providing comprehensive multilingual support.
