Cleaning up Pigs

Advanced Wastewater Treatment Technologies Jointly Developed by the Shanghai Jiaotong University and Ronserto Treat Pig Farm's Wastewater to Reach Standard A as Required by the Department of Environment
Pilot waste water treatment project will be conducted next year at a pig farm at Butterworth in Penang by Ronser Bio-Tech Sdn Bhd to get rid of foul smell and polluted water.
In a statement, Ronser chairman Woo Min Fong said the project, to begin in early January, is expected to take six months to complete and will use advanced waste water treatment technologies jointly developed by the Shanghai Jiaotong University and Ronser.
The pig farm is one of the 150 such farms located in the area of Butterworth and currently rears 4,000 pigs, said Woo.
"The technology will be able to treat the pig farm's waste water to reach Standard A as required by the Department of Environment, thus ensuring a clean water and air.
"In fact, the recycled water can be used for washing and cleaning purposes. No similar technology is available in the current market and it is also cost-saving as the technology only needs about 1,400 sq ft of land."
She said the technology has been very successful in various waste management treatment projects in China and will be used for the first time for the pig farming industry in Malaysia.
The technology was made possible through the invention of a new technology called the "Mass Bio-System" by Professor Zhang Zhenjia of Shanghai Jiaotong University, a major shareholder of Ronser.
