The Build-Transfer contract covers detailed engineering and design, process equipment procurement, installation, commissioning & start-up. The effluent discharged from the upgraded plant will meet Class 1A standards which is suitable for certain reuses, including roadway dust control, landscape irrigation and toilet flushing. Tri-Tech expects to complete construction by the end of February 2010.
 

Tri-Tech CEO Warren Zhao said: “We are pleased to land this upgrade project in Xinle City using the BT model. With the rapid economic growth in Xinle, the amount of industrial wastewater and municipal wastewater is increasing. However, wastewater treatment facilities have not kept pace with the growth. Inappropriately treated wastewater has severely polluted the surrounding canal and downstream rivers. The need to upgrade Xinle’s existing wastewater treatment plant is urgent. The implementation of this project will reduce urban sewage pollution and improve Xinle city’s ecological environment and water quality.”
