Samsung Engineering has announced that it will expand facilities to reduce nitrogen oxides (NOx) at the site of the Cheonan City Environmental Energy Office. The facility expansion was carried out to comply with the standards under the “Special Act on the Improvement of the Air Quality in the Air Management Zone” enacted in 2020.
As Samsung Engineering has been managing much stricter than legal standards before, it plans to preemptively respond to and manage strengthened standards.
The company is planning to finish installing the facilities at the end of June and expects that it will be able to operate them in earnest from July when it finishes performance testing.
Cheonan City Environmental Energy Office is a facility for incinerating household waste generated in Cheonan City. It consists of facility No. 1 that can handle 190 tons of household waste and 130 tons of food waste, and facility No. 2 that can handle 200 tons of Household waste and 50 tons of food waste.
Samsung Engineering has constructed both Unit 1 completed in 2001 and Unit 2 completed in 2015, respectively, and is also in charge of operational projects scheduled for 2022 and 2030.
The company is planning to actively target foreign green infrastructure markets based on technology and experience. The green infrastructure market continues to grow in demand in line with global environmental trends, with incinerators and water treatment plants at the center.
In particular, Operation & Maintenance Service (O&M) linked projects can generate stable profits over a long period of time. Samsung Engineering plans to actively respond to the increase in environmental facilities, focusing on countries in Southeast Asia and the Middle East that have previously performed chemical plants.
“We have a lot of experience in projects and differentiated technical skills in eco-friendly O&M field,” said an official for Samsung Engineering. “We will make stable profits by expanding ESG businesses such as Green Infrastructure.”
