Ordos Anguo Tri-Tech Investment, the project company jointly owned by Tri-Tech’s Beijing based subsidiary and Beijing Anguo Water Treatment Automation Engineering Technology, will deliver the contract.

Under the terms of the contract, Tri-Tech will provide services which include design optimization, procurement, installation, startup and commissioning, owner’s personnel training, operation and maintenance manual preparation of water treatment plant and other services as needed.

The expansion phase is designed to allow processing of 104,000 cubic meters per day treated via the traditional flocculation, sedimentation and conventional filtration process.

Then nearly 50% of the treated water will undergo ultra filtration and nano-filtration treatment processes, while the other 50% of the treated water will by-pass ultra- and nano-filtration.

The project follows the initial contract, valued at $40m, awarded to Tri-Tech in 2010 for build-transfer project.

The initial project will allow the Ordos facility to process 96,000 cubic meters of water per day, via traditional flocculation, sedimentation and conventional filtration and then go through the ultra filtration and nano-filtration treatment process.

Upon completion of the initial and the expansion phases, the combined output of up to 200,000 cubic meters per day will comply with the national drinking water standards as spelled out in GB5749-2006, of which 148,000 cubic meters per day will be ultra filtered and nano-filtered water

After completion of the test runs, the ownership of the water purification plant will transfer to Dongsheng District of Ordos City, the company said.
