Taiwan EPA: Creating a Vision
The Taiwan Tech Trek (TTT) program offers overseas opportunities to work on STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) assignments with companies, organizations, universities, and ministries in Taiwan, helping to promote awareness and appreciation of the country. It is capped by an academic conference for participants to showcase their work.

2. introduction landfill incineration recycling creating a vision symbolizing the vision blue skies and green earth verdant mountains and pristine water environmentally conscious citizenry sustainable homeland
3. introduction landfill incineration recycling creating a vision striving for the vision balance natural resources and human-generated waste Taiwan waste disposal methods | landfill incineration recycling
9. the longest journey [commencement] 1] truck enters site @ 10 km/hr and weighed 2] if weight as reported, truck led to site 3] trash unloaded in cell; truck to wheel cleaning creating a vision landfill route incineration recycling
10. the longest journey [continuation] 4] compactor/ bulldozer compresses garbage until ideal thickness (40 ~ 80 cm) 5] when garbage reaches 3 m thick, layer of soil put on top (15 ~ 30 cm thick) 6] cake compressed again and new cell prepared for next cycle creating a vision landfill route incineration recycling
11. the longest journey [conclusion] 7] last layer of soil dumped to add 1 m thickness 8] remediation begins as trash decomposes creating a vision landfill route incineration recycling
18. @ a waste incineration plant.1 creating a vision landfill incineration course recycling 1] power generation 4] follow-up procedures 3] pollutants emission control 2] pollutants emission
19. @ a waste incineration plant.2 creating a vision power generation | steam turbine generator heat energy recovered using heat generated to heat up boiler water to steam used for turbine propulsion power generation set turbine force through reduction gear set rotates alternate rotor which cuts magnetic flux from stator and generates electricity 69kV switchgear station basically controls power input/ output landfill incineration course recycling

21. @ a waste incineration plant.4 creating a vision pollutants emission control | cyclone dust separator (2) separates particulate matter via cyclone bag filter system removes 95% particulate pollutants activated carbon injection unit prevents dissolved dioxin components from recomposing due to temperature drop by absorption flue gas treatment landfill incineration course recycling
