China invites Analytica to develop municipal wastewater treatment facilities

China has invited Analytica Bio-Energy to design and build municipal wastewater treatment facilities for population centres throughout the country.

For this purpose, the company was invited to participate in the government-mandated and comprehensive wastewater management programme in China.

The company will take the lead position in the programme to develop municipal wastewater treatment plants in the country.

Analytic Bio-Energy president and director Luiz Brasil said: "This is a big opportunity for Analytica to take the lead position to develop wastewater treatment facilities for China and is an acknowledgement by the government of Analytica’s leadership role in the industry and of its patented, cutting-edge technology, which was developed jointly by the universities of Illinois and Taiwan under the leadership of our CEO, Kevin Wu."

Initially, the project will focus on the wastewater problems on Shenyang City, which is the largest city in the Liaoning province.

Under a build, operate and transfer (BOT) structure with the Chinese Government, Analytica will design, build and operate a pilot-scale municipal wastewater treatment facility in the city, which will hold a capacity to process 600,000t of wastewater per day.

Analytica intends to work with the Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau to determine the scope and technical aspects related to the project in the next 60-90 days.

The government plans to promote the technology to the national level aggressively, once the pilot plant enters into operation.
