 Wastewater Treatment Project to apply for a CDM Project Status |
12th February 2007 - After months of studies, Rajburi Sugar Co., Ltd. and Rajburi Ethanol Co., Ltd. have come to an agreement with ENVIMA (Thailand) Co., Ltd. to act as our consultant for applying for CDM Project Status for the company's planned new wastewater treatment facility using an UASB system. After over 30 years of the open pond system for our wastewater treatment facility, we are very excited to apply for CDM project status to fund our planned UASB system for our water treatment. This marks another era for our company focusing on environmentally friendly business operations following our electricity generation using bagasse and our ISO 14001:2004 Certification. We are very excited about this new opportunity and look forward to working with ENVIMA and UNFCCC to make this environmentally friendly wastewater treatment project a reality.
| Study to Upgrade Wastewater Treatment Facility |
18th September 2006 - Rajburi Sugar Co., Ltd. and her sister company, Rajburi Ethanol Co., Ltd., are currently studying the possibility of upgrading our water treatment facility. The current wastewater treatment facility is a 30 years old open-pond facility. One of the possibilities being considered is to build a UASB system to replace the current facility, which will help to capture methane that would otherwise enter the atmosphere. Because of the investment involved with such an upgrade, Rajburi is studying the details and talking to consultants about the chances to apply for a CDM status for this project as to get the support needed to make this project a reality.
