The Government is going to build a Sludge Treatment Facility at Tsang Tsui, in Tuen Mun for completion in 2014. This facility will adopt state-of-the-art thermal incineration technology to ensure that the flue gas treatment system will meet stringent European Union emission standards. Thermal energy generated from incineration will be turned into electricity to fully meet the energy needs of the facility. Surplus electricity will be exported to the power grid. In addition to offering the treatment facility, the plant will also provide an Environmental Education Centre and community leisure facilities (including indoor heated pools, a habitat for water birds, viewing platform, etc.) for the public. The wave-like streamlined design of the main building will blend well with the surrounding scenery. Upon completion, it will become a unique landmark in the district.
