According to Sichuan Environmental Protection Bureau, the technical improvement project for the wastewater treatment supporting system of 33% glyphosate ammonium AS of Fuhua Tong-da Agro-chemical Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as the project) was approved. What’s notable is that the investment for the environmental protection of the project has already achieved RMB 2 million.

According to the data released by Sichuan Environmental Protection Bureau, the project will be carried out in the existing plant of Fuhua in Qiaogou Town, Wutongqiao District, Leshan and Fuhua Agrochemical Park. The main construction content includes stopping establishing the original AS sub-packaging production line, stopping using the glyphosate mother liquor treatment section, transforming the 33% glyphosate ammonium AS workshop, and building a 2000t/d glyphosate mother liquor treatment unit, including high-temperature oxidation devices, normal-temperature oxidation devices and salt evaporation and concentration devices and so on, with existing public and supporting facilities and equipments such as hydrogen peroxide tanks, ammonia tank and boilers.

The Bureau says of the project as follows: no new land is needed and the site selection meets the relevant local planning requirements. After implementing the environmental protection measures specified in the report, the pollutants can be discharged meeting the standard and the local total quantity control requirements, the impact on ambient air, water environment and acoustic environment can be controlled and meet the relevant standard for environmental functional zones.

As the company with the largest production capacity of glyphosate (120,000t/a) in the industry, Fuhua, with a large investment in environmental protection construction, will undoubtedly exert positive influence on the industry.
