YarnsandFibers – YarnsandFibers (subscription) – Sep 11, 2007
The ’65 million plant with an annual capacity of 60000 tons of viscose fibre was completed in less than two years. It employs 540 people. Technology for the plant came from Lenzing Technik the systems engineering subsidiary of the Lenzing Group. “Lenzing Nanjing is a central element of our strategy of expansion and globalisation” Thomas Fahnemann chairman of the Lenzing management board said at the inaugural ceremony. According to Fahnemann China given the above-average growth of its viscose fibre industry over the past five years has become the largest producer as well as biggest consumer of viscose fibre. The Austrian group is already considering the prospects of capacity in the near future. Lenzing Nanjing is the Austrian group’s sixth cellulose fibre plant and its second in Asia.
Desalination plant likely for Adelaide
Brisbane Times – Sep 11, 2007
We use an id here to be able to jump to this section. –> Desalination plant likely for Adelaide. –> September 11 2007 South Australia will likely spend $2. 5 billion on a desalination plant and extending a reservoir to ease concerns over water security Premier Mike Rann says. The options were “the only real choices we have” to guarantee long-term water security he said. The desalination plant costing about $1. 4 billion would provide a quarter of Adelaide’s water supply Mr Rann said… a pipeline to carry the plant’s waste brine will have to be laid beneath the seabed out into the waters of the gulf where the currents are best suited to quickly disperse it. “I am told such a pipeline could be many kilometres in length that engineering work alone would be an enormous and expensive undertaking. Mr Rann said expanding the Mt Bold reservoir could cost $850 million. © 2009 AAP Brought to you by.
