Feasibility Study of Cooperation between Waste Incineration Plants and Sewage Treatment Plants

Questionnaire Survey for Local Governments and GIS Visualization

Abstract

Although cooperation between waste incineration and sewage treatment facilities is an effective approach to improve the efficiency of waste treatment, there are few examples of cooperation between the two facilities. We conducted a questionnaire survey of local governments to understand the issues for cooperation between the two facilities. We confirmed that information exchange between waste and wastewater departments is infrequent, and it is essential to create an environment where the information they can easily obtain from each other. We visualized information on the processing scale of the two facilities using GIS and extracted the conditions under which we judged the possibility of collaboration to be high.
