Open My Factory: TuasOne Waste-to-Energy (Incineration) Plant

TuasOne is Singapore’s largest and most energy-efficient waste-to-energy plant. It is capable of incinerating 3,600 tonnes of waste and producing 120 megawatts of electricity daily. Join us on an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of this plant, and meet with the drivers, crane operators, and engineers responsible for its day-to-day operations.

What you will see

Step into one of Singapore's four operational waste-to-energy plants, and delve into the complexities of our local waste management system. Participants will have a chance to observe how trucks sort and unload our waste at the reception hall. They will also have a first-hand look how the waste is further processed, before being transferred into the incinerator. Participants will have a chance to speak with the plant's crane operators and engineers, and learn about how the boilers are controlled, regulated, and maintained every day.
