Mainboard-listed United Envirotech, one of the leading membrane-based water and wastewater treatment solutions providers, says it has completed Asia’s largest underground municipal Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) plant in Guangzhou city.

The contract, worth a total value of RMB264 million ($51.9 million), has a design capacity of 100,000 cubic metres per day. With an underground depth of 20metres, the Jing Xi MBR plant takes up the smallest ground area among all wastewater treatment plants in China, 1/10 of a traditional water and wastewater treatment plant.

On a separate note, United Envirotech has completed and started operations for Phase I of Hegang wastewater treatment cum recycling plant, located in Heilongjiang Province, China. The plant has a treatment capacity of 50,000 cubic metres/day per day and was completed on 27th September 2010, 3 days ahead of schedule. This BOT project is the group’s first Water Investment project with dual service components and revenue streams. United Envirotech will receive revenue from the government for treating 50,000 cubic metres of waste water daily and will in turn sell 30,000 cubic metres of recycled water to chemical plants in the nearby industry park.
