My Dear Countrymen, Kocaeli is developing and being more beautiful every day. We are trying in cooperation to make our city the

most prosperous, developed and modern city of the world. Each administrator of our metropolitan municipality is working and straining night and day. We cannot isolate our companies and associate institutions, which are our subsidiaries, from this working

pace. Without doubt IZAYDAS has a huge role to play in this created surplus value... As a result of these efforts, we are approaching our target of “modern and model Kocaeli” each and every

day. My Valuable Friends, IZAYDAS, one of the most important facilities of Turkey, does not just make sure that wastes are disposed in

an environmentally-respectful manner, it also leads in such areas as recycling and new energy resources. Therefore, in this booklet in your hands, you will not only see the annual, routine activity report of a

municipality economic institution, but also the ideals, targets, and efforts paid for being a pioneer and example. We carefully use environmentally-sensitive technologies at IZAYDAS, which also sets an example in using

alternative energy resources as one of the most important environmentalist institutions of our country... As a result of the works conducted with sacrifice, our institution occupies the highest ranks within the

province, the preparations conducted as regards the disposal of wastes of sea vehicles, and efforts conducted towards chemical wastes of industrial institutions; thus, it approaches to the “clean environment healthy society” target on a daily basis.

I congratulate all IZAYDAS employees, from the General Manager to the workers, and we thank them all for

their effort displayed in this activity report.

Operating Department

Clinical and hazardous waste incineration and energy generation facility

The operation principle of the facility with 35.000 tons/year incineration capacity is based on the disposal by burning of flammable plastic wastes, used greases, pharmaceutical and cosmetic wastes, petrochemical wastes, PVC, solvent, dye wastes, glues and adhesives, refining sludge and other types of hazardous wastes and clinical wastes.

Incineration facility design parameters

Annual design capacity: 35.000 tons/year (365 days) Annual license border capacity: 33.135 tons/year (330 days) Planned annual capacity: 24.533 tons/year (304 days) Working days: 304 days/year Working hours: 7296 hours/year Planned maintenance days: 35 days/year Possible maintenance situation: 10 days/year Boiler cleaning: 16 days/year

Incinerated wastes

As of the end of 2010, a total of 21.334 tons of

wastes were incinerated and disposed among the wastes accepted fro disposal by incinerating at the incinerator along with the waste acceptance criteria. Within this amount,

solid waste/bunker: 13.441 tons,

barrel feeder: 1023 tons,

clinical wastes: 13 tons,

special liquids: 291 tons,

acquis liquid: 1369 tons,

flammable liquid: 5196 tons. In 2010, 265 tons of fuel oil were used in the incinerator facility as additional fuel.

17

Generated Wastes

The amounts of waste generated by our facility at

the end of the incinerating procedure as of the end of 2010 were as follows:

Scum: 6.217 Tons

Wet ash: 350 tons

Filter Press cake: 1.582 tons After the analysis of wastes is done, hazardous

wastes were stored and disposed in waste landfill area.

Performance

Total working hours of the facility as of the end of

2010 became 7.183 hours and stand-by hours became 523 hours and planned maintenance stand hours became 1054 hours.

As a result of the conducted analysis, it was

decided that solid waste feeding capacity at the incinerator facility could be increased by 50% and that the D10 incineration disposal (on land) within Statute on General Principles of Waste Management could be replaced with using as the main fuel for the purpose of R1 energy production recycling procedure or in another manner.

It is expected that a new license code for the

incinerating facility and the license that will be reorganized as regards capacity increase will be submitted in January 2011 by The Ministry of Forestry.

As planned, maintenance stand-by was applied

between September 16th, 2010 and October 30th, 2010, incinerating procedure was halted. During stoppage period, maintenance of problematic units was conducted. On October 30th, 2010, heating procedure began for refractor brick drying operation. On November 3rd, 2010, rotating boiler brick operation finished and waste supply was resumed.

Energy Generation

Within the year 2010, in the framework of 49 years

of production license obtained from this, 21.334 tons of incinerated wastes, 13.847.100 kWh electricity was produced, 9.227.580 kWh of which was used in the facility, 5.951.790 kWh of which was sold to SEDAŞ and 1.332.270 kWh electricity was purchased.

Wind Turbines

IZAYDAS also acts as a leader in the area of

renewable energy resources. 132 kW capacity wind turbines which were mounted at Gaziler Mountain at Izmit Solaklar and Gebze Gaziler Mountain showed that electricity can also be produced from wind energy in our city as well. Each of them can produce annually 100.000 kWh energy on average.

Sterilization Facility

medical wastes became 1.224.883 kgs.

Biogas Facility

In 2007, Kocaeli Metropolitan Municipality,

TÜBİTAK MAM and researcher institution and four universities launched the project “Biogas Generation from Vegetal and Animal Wastes and Usage in Integrated Energy Generation Facilities” under which Biogas and energy generation facilities are established in IZAYDAS area. It is planned that the facility whose construction started on April 14th, 2007, will be commissioned in 2011.

18

When the biogas facility is commissioned,

155 m3/h biogas

350 kwh electrical energy

350KWh heat energy

12 tons/days liquid fertilizers

14 tons/days solid fertilizers will be obtained.

The produced energy will be sold by conducting

connection to the network and the organic fertilizer that is produced will be highly appropriate for agricultural use as it will not include yabancı of seeds, be able to hold water and have rich mineral structure.

DAF Refining Facility

Waste leakage waters collected with the draining

system located on the impermeability layer of regular landfill areas are sent to DAF (preliminary refining facility) unit and subjected to pre-purifying procedure. The waste water which occurs after the refining process is sent to 42 Evler Municipal and Industrial Waste Water Facility through the waste water collector line.

As of the end of November 2010, the amount of

waste leakage waters transported from Dilovası Regular Landfill Area to IZAYDAS was 57.270 m3 and the amount of waste leakage waters transported from Gebze packaging facility and old waste landfill area to IZAYDAS was 23.874 m3.

Waste Acceptance / Planning Office

by The Ministry of Environment and Forestry, Solaklar municipal and hazardous solid waste regular landfill area has been established in 1997. Municipal and hazardous wastes accepted to regular landfill area are transferred to the working area to appropriate lots according to the type of the waste. For municipal wastes 6 lots with the capacity of 3.163.000 m3 and for hazardous wastes 1 lot with the capacity of 969.919 m3 are allocated. With the help of construction machinery laying/compression processes are applied and intermediate layer soil is used in order to prevent bad smells and negative environmental conditions.

When the landfill process which is anticipated as

25-32 years is completed, this area will be greened and returned to the Ministry of Environment and Forestry.
