According to the EPA's technical principles, it's one kilometer. The results of a survey in Japan showed that within about 1.2 kilometers from the waste incineration plant by cancer death rate as high as 42.1%, while 1.2 kilometers away from the area of 20.4%, a difference of more than double.
In foreign countries, many waste incineration power plant built in the city center, has not been found to have pollution reports. Austria's Vienna waste-to-energy plant was built in the center of the city's Vienna Square, the city's landmark.
And France's "IVRY-SUR-SEINE"? Waste incineration plant, the world's largest domestic waste incineration power plant, is located in the Seine River. Shanghai Jiangqiao Incineration Power Plant is only 500 meters away from Sunny Venice (one million square meters of mid-range and high-grade housing)
Pudong Royal Bridge Incineration Power Plant is located in the southwest of Pudong New Area, less than 1 kilometer away from Sanlin City, one of the four major demonstration residential areas in Shanghai. The Nanjing Jiangbei project is 1.9 kilometers from the nearest neighborhood under construction, a considerable protective distance.

Main equipment
The main equipment of waste incineration power plants are incinerators, waste heat boilers, and so on.
The incinerator is a waste gas, waste liquids, solid waste body fuels, medical waste, household waste, animal carcasses, etc., high temperature incineration, to achieve the quantitative number of reduction or shrinkage of a kind of environmental protection equipment, and at the same time to achieve the use of part of the incineration medium of heat energy of a product. Incinerator by the driving device, combustion chamber and auxiliary facilities, can be divided into fixed incinerator and activity incinerator.
Waste heat boiler by the pot, movable hood, furnace mouth section flue, slant 1 section flue, slant 2 section flue, the last 1 section flue, the last 2 section flue, charging pipe (down the slip) tank, oxygen gun port, nitrogen sealing device and nitrogen sealing plug, manhole, differential pressure pressure device, flue support and hanger and other components.
