13 alumni had joined the technical visit to T.Park on Feb 18, 2023. A tour was conducted to explain the reason why the T.Park was established and the operation of the T.Park.
T.Park was established was established for three purposes:
1 |
A sludge treatment facility
|
|
Every day about 1200 tons of sludge has been produced, this sludge has created bad smell to the surrounding and has occupied a great area of land. The burning of sludge can reduce the size to 10% by weight (i.e. 120 tons) and the bad smell be can eliminated which is good to the environment.
