Metso to Supply a Waste Processing Plant to China

    HELSINKI, Finland, Aug. 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Metso Minerals will
supply a waste incineration plant to SCIP Swire SITA Waste Services Co. Ltd.
located in Shanghai, China. The plant will be started up in 2006 and will be
the largest and most modern commercial hazardous waste processing facility in
China. The customer has requested that the value of the order is not
disclosed.
    Metso Minerals' order comprises the design, equipment supply, and start-up
assistance of the plant. The plant will consist of two parallel processing
trains. Waste materials will be destroyed in a rotary kiln and post combustion
system. The system will use the recovered energy from the post combustion
gases that will be cleaned by an emission control system. The plant will be
designed to process approximately 60,000 tons per year of a combination of
solid, liquid and gaseous wastes. The new facility will provide waste
processing services for the Shanghai area industry.
    The ECP contract for the project was awarded to China Tianchen Chemical
Engineering Corp. (TCC). The client for the waste incineration plant, SCIP
Swire SITA Waste Services Co. Ltd. (SCIP SSWS), was established as a
joint-venture between SCIP DC, Swire SITA as well as New World HK with a
minority holding in the joint venture. SCIP DC is the developer of the
Shanghai Chemical Industry Park (SCIP). Swire SITA is the one of the leading
waste management specialists in Hong Kong.
    Metso Minerals has supplied approximately 30 corresponding incinerators
all over the world. The order from China will be Metso Minerals' first
incinerator delivery to China.
    Waste incineration equipment and other pyro processing is part of the
minerals processing offering of Metso Minerals. Pyro processing is used to
increase the economic value of ores, minerals, waste and related materials by
changing their mechanical and/or chemical properties through the addition or
