  -Rih-Ding Water launches 3rd phase of Taoyuan sewerage BOT project

 

Listed company Radium (2547 TW) announces its subsidiary Rih-Ding Water Enterprise Co., Ltd. to launch the third phase of BOT project for Taoyuan sewerage system, the largest public sewerage system in Taiwan, with an investment of NT$850 million. 

 

Radium and Rih-Ding Water had invested over NT$12.5 billion building the said BOT project. With the add-on amount of NT$850 million further for the third phase, the total investment will reach NT$13.35 billion. Rih-Ding Water will cooperate with group subsidiary Ding Sheng Green Energy Co., Ltd. under the contract of "Promoting private participation in the construction, operation and transfer (BOT) plan of sewage and sewer system in Taoyuan area, Taoyuan County" to manage the expansion.

 

Rih-Ding Water executes Taoyuan sewer and treatment system starting from 2013, with a 35-year BOT time frame and 4-phase construction to 2047. It is planned to treat 200,000 tons of recycled sewage daily and connect 251,000 households by the time project accomplished. The second phase had completed in December 2020, reaching capacity able to treat 100,000 tons of sewage daily and generating 31,000 tons of high-quality reclaimed water along using MBR membrane treatment technology, providing mainly to Taoyuan industries and fire stations to reduce their dependence on tap water.

 

In light of increasing industry demand for reclaimed water, Radium has also established subsidiary Bao Ding Reclaimed Water in Taoyuan. Based on the policy released by the Ministry of Economic Affairs, the Ministry of the Interior and local governments, 11 reclaimed water plants are planned to establish across Taiwan, including Taoyuan North District, Zhubei, Hsinchu, Taichung Futian, Fengyuan and Shuinan, Tainan Yongkang, Anping and Rende, Kaohsiung Fengshan, Linhai and Nanzi (or Gangshan Qiaotou.) The government goal is to achieve a daily reclaimed water volume of 334,000 tons in Taiwan by 2026.

 

 

Rih-Ding Water currently has connected 142,000 households in Taoyuan, contributing 64% of Taoyuan's public sewer system, with pipe network exceeding 154 kilometers. To integrate with Bao Ding Reclaimed Water managing Taoyuan reclaimed water BTO project, which is schemed to supply 40,000 tons of reclaimed water daily in 2025, Rih Ding Water plans to complete the third phase of Taoyuan sewerage BOT system by end of 2025 and to reach further 191,000 households by end of 2026.  The third phase is designed with pre-treatment cloth filters and multi-stage inflow biological treatment at the front-end, and integrate equipment of solid-state separation secondary sedimentation tank at the back-end, plus anaerobic digestion system and recycled heat for sludge drying. The treatment process is expected to reduce carbon emissions by around 6%.
