Green Transformation

Water is a critical component in chemical production, used for cooling, steam generation, and raw material processing. Consequently, LCY prioritizes water resources as a key risk factor and implements proactive management measures to enhance the importance of water resource issues from governance, strategic, and technical perspectives. The governance aspect includes elevating the importance of water management and setting water conservation goals; The strategic aspect includes 1) increasing the amount of water recycled at the plants by recycling steam condensate, using MBR technology to treat wastewater at plants, and 2 ) installing water conservation facilities to reduce water withdrawals and working with external parties to implement a water reclamation program; and the technical aspect includes research, development, and optimization of MBR technology and other technologies that improve water use efficiency. Therefore, in-plant wastewater recycling is regarded as a key indicator. It refers to wastewater that, after treatment in the sewage treatment plant, would otherwise be discharged but is instead further filtered and reused. At LCY's Taiwan operations, wastewater recycling is carried out at the Linyuan and Kaohsiung plants, where MBR technology and additional wastewater reuse facilities have been implemented.
