Development on the Technology for Offshore Waste Final Disposal in S. Korea

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to develop technology for offshore waste final disposal. The research results include many core element parts such as establishment of master plan on infrastructure development for offshore waste disposal landfill; the establishment of legal system and code and standard or guidelines related to the offshore waste final disposal; the development of construction technologies of modular revetment structure and performance-enhancing technology for containment system; supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system for offshore final disposal facility and soil/water quality improvement techniques in offshore disposal facility. Some other contributions are expected to collaborate includes: legal and institutional infrastructure construction to create the marine space projects based on the offshore final disposal facility. Additionally, in this paper, the securement of related element technology for environmental-friendly offshore waste disposal facility was discussed. At the same time, new marine industry and related jobs through the development of business model were created.
