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.
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, China. 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 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, China. The success of this first project should enhance the company’s credibility when bidding for new business.
