DALIAN, China, Aug. 10 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- China Industrial Waste Management, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: CIWT) ("China Industrial Waste Management" or the "Company"), a PRC-based industrial waste processor and provider of environmental protection, pollution treatment and waste management design services, announced today that it has completed the trial production of the first 6 fermentation tanks for sludge treatment, a municipal Build-Operate-Transfer ("BOT") project in Dalian. Results of the trial production show that the facility can generate stable biogas as well.
Once completed, there will be 12 fermentation tanks in operation. The designed capacity of this BOT project is 600 tons per day for sludge treatment, and 25,000-30,000 cubic meters per day for biogas generation. Beginning July 2009, the first 6 tanks were tested and are ready for use.
With a total investment of $18 million, 30% of the project will be funded by the Dongtai Organic Waste Treatment Co., Ltd. and the other 70% will be funded via bank loans. The success of the trial operation of the initial 6 fermentation tanks means the Lipp tanks, which have anaerobic digestion as their core technology, have realized the Company's expectations. The company has undertaken the task of municipal sludge emergency treatment for Dalian City. The Municipal government will pay off the emergency treatment fees soon.
"We are excited that we have completed trial production of the first 6 tanks while the remaining ones are still in test phase and are expected to be put into full operation in October," said Mr. Jinqing Dong, the Company's Chief Executive Officer. "By then, we should be able to further diversify our revenue streams."
The Company has also actively participated in municipal sludge treatment planning beyond the city of Dalian. The success of this first project should enhance the Company's credibility when bidding for new business.
