Japan: Orege announces the sale of its first two SLGF® solutions to the Itochu group

Voisins-Le Bretonneux, 3 December 2019, 8am

Under the partnership set up one year ago with Itochu Machine-Technos Corp. (ITCMT), a subsidiary of the Japanese group Itochu Corporation, to distribute and integrate Orege’s solutions, Orege is delighted to announce its first firm sale of two SLG® + Flosep® solutions to ITCMT.

The first SLG® + Flosep® solution will be installed and implemented, by joint teams from Itochu and Orege, for a Japanese group that is amongst the world leaders in the paper and packaging industry.

The SLG® solution will be used to condition biological sludge upstream from a belt filter press.

The SLG® solution deployed aims to significantly improve performance for the sludge treatment line, which is currently overloaded:

• Reducing the volume of sludge to be eliminated
• Increasing the hydraulic flow capacity to help resolve the sludge unit’s capacity overload issue
• Reducing polymer consumption
• Mitigating odors on site, as the paper plant is located at the heart of a major city.

The second SLGF® solution to be deployed for ITCMT will be set up at one of the 10 prospective sites identified by the Itochu-Orege teams during their exploratory trips in spring 2019.

To comply with standards for the application and use of SLG® solutions in Japan, Orege has developed a specific SLG® solution, which is being certified by Lloyd’s Register.

Orege received the design approval document on 2 December 2019. This crucial first phase has been successfully completed and will be followed over the coming weeks by Lloyd’s Register inspections during the manufacture of the SLG® units. This second phase aims to validate compliance between the manufacturing and design stages, and will bring the certification process to a close.
