| Tokyo, June
6, 2003 – JFE Engineering Corporation announced
today that it completed on March 31 this year installation
of a paper sludge treatment and waste-to-energy plant
for a paper factory run by Genting Sanyen Industrial
Paper Sdn. Bhd. in the state of Selangor, Malyasia.
In November 2000, JFE was contracted to supply and supervise
installation of plant facilities on consignment from
the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development
Organization (NEDO) under Japan’s Ministry of
Economy, Trade and Industry (METI).
Genting Sanyen and the Malaysian government celebrated
the successful commissioning of the plant in a ceremony
held in Kuala Langat on June 5. The event was attended
by Malaysia’s Energy, Communications and Multimedia
Minister, Datuk Amar Leo Moggie, other government officials
and guests from Japan, including Hiroyuki Ochiai, Director
of International Cooperation Center, NEDO.
The waste-to-energy plant project is part of the Japanese
government’s Green Aid Plan, which aims to support
the self-help efforts of developing countries in the
Asia-Pacific region in conjunction with environmental
protection and effective energy utilization. Established
as a NEDO international model project to maximize efficiency
in energy consumption, it is the first to be implemented
in Malaysia, under an agreement between NEDO and the
Malaysian government signed on October 30, 2000.
Recognizing JFE’s technical expertise and past
achievements in this field, NEDO consigned the company
to design, supply and supervise installation of core
facilities, including a 110-ton-per-day fluidized-bed
incinerator and equipment to recover and utilize waste
heat from paper sludge treatment at Genting Sanyen’s
paper factory.
Today, Malaysia and other Asian countries are seriously
addressing environmental issues in the face of their
burgeoning economic growth. Drawing on its accumulated
technical expertise in waste disposal and resource recycling,
such as stoker incinerators, high-temperature gasifying
and melting shaft furnaces, as well as Thermoselect
gas cracking furnaces, JFE will continue to provide
comprehensive solutions that meet a wide range of challenges,
helping Asian nations create a better environment.
