China Everbright Water Limited announced that the Company has recently secured Liaoning Anshan Municipal Sludge Disposal Project ("Anshan Sludge Disposal Project") Phase I, which commands an investment of approximately RMB 186 million. Anshan Sludge Disposal Project Phase I will be implemented by a project company, which will be wholly owned by Everbright Water, based on a BOT (Build-Operate-Transfer) model, for a concession period of 30 years (including the construction period). The project will construct a new sludge disposal plant with a daily treatment capacity of 500 tonnes, a sludge treatment workshop, and a set of ancillary infrastructure facilities such as water supply and drainage facilities, and electrical networks.

The project is mainly responsible for treating sludge with a water content of 80% produced from waste water treatment plants across Anshan City. After undergoing the treatment process, the water content of the sludge will be reduced to 40%. The treated sludge will then be sent for incineration with household waste at a designated waste-to-energy plant to realise the harmless and resourceful disposal of sludge.
