Taipei, Aug 19, 2024- CTCI Group has been committed to assisting global clients to achieve sustainability through green engineering. CTCI Beijing, a subsidiary of CTCI, won the Zhangzhou CHIMEI EPC project for the production of 180,000 tons of polycarbonate (PC) per year, and achieved mechanical completion on June 30, three months ahead of schedule. A crew from CHIMEI Corp., accompanied by CTCI Beijing Chairman T. S. Zhang, visited the production site and offered high praise for the company’s efficiency in project execution.
This project is a key step for CHIMEI to expand its PC manufacturing technology blueprint. Located at Zhangzhou Gulei Port Economic Development Zone in Fujian Province, the plant is CHIMEI’s second production base in China. Its completion enables CHIMEI to integrate the product development of upper and lower industries, and to further realize the goal of product line diversification, quality enhancement, and value adding, becoming one of a handful of manufacturers in the market with knowledge of various PC materials manufacturing technologies. Produced through an eco-friendly, phosgene-free process, the PC materials feature characteristics of high-temperature resistance, high impact strength, flame retardancy, and transparency, making it the best choice for new generation applications such as electric vehicles, energy storage, and 5G network equipment, etc.
Since 2012, CTCI Beijing has won several SSBR, HIPS, PS, ABS EPC projects in Mainland China from CHIMEI, acting as CHIMEI’s long-time partner. CTCI Beijing Chairman Zhang commented, “In line with CHIMEI’s principles of circular economy, this cutting-edge and environmental-friendly plant was constructed by introducing advanced processes that optimize energy consumption efficiency, and by leveraging CTCI’s green engineering expertise. CTCI Beijing will continue supporting CHIMEI’s expansion in chemical engineering through the most reliable engineering service quality, contributing to increase its global presence.”

Taoyuan, July 10, 2024- The grand opening of the “Vantage TPE1 data center” contracted by CTCI was held on July 10. It is the first data center in Taiwan established by Vantage Data Centers, a global provider of hyperscale data center campuses. Located in Taoyuan, the five-story, 16MW data center occupies approximately one hectare of land, with the opening ceremony hosted by Raymond Tong, President, APAC at Vantage, and attended by Chang San-Cheng, Mayor of Taoyuan City in person to celebrate, along with Michael Yang, Chairman of CTCI, and Neil Chen, deputy head of CTCI’s Advanced Technology Facilities Business Operations (ATFBO).

Michael Yang, Chairman of CTCI, stated that as Vantage has been committed to the development of the technology industry with a sustainable mindset, CTCI has also long been actively supporting global clients to develop “green engineering” through its advanced carbon-reducing technology. We are grateful to Vantage for entrusting CTCI with its first data center in Taiwan. Together, we will promote Taiwan’s economic growth and sustainable development.

As a leading and a global top 100 engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) services provider, CTCI is the company with the most extensive experience and expertise in contracting overseas EPC projects in Taiwan, and is the preferred partner of renowned global clients. With a track record in the advanced technology sector across Taiwan, China, and the America, CTCI has built its presence in construction projects including data centers, semiconductors and their supply chains, DRAM, smartphone assembly plants, and lithium battery factories. In the future, with the “most reliable” service quality, CTCI will continue to help global clients develop construction projects that benefit both the economy and the environment, fulfilling its ESG vision of being the “Guardian of Sustainable Earth”.

Hsinchu, June 26, 2024- CTCI, Taiwan’s largest engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) services provider, has been actively echoing the government’s “Enhancement of Water Production by Technology” policy. With its track record of constructing multiple water reclamation plants, CTCI, along with its subsidiary ECOVE Environment Services Corp., has expanded the Group’s services to the sector of seawater desalination by signing a contract to construct, operate and maintain a seawater desalination plant in Hsinchu City. Partnering with SUEZ, a well-known global service provider specialized in circular solutions for water and waste, and Hung Hua Construction, an expert in maritime construction, the procured contract is worth approximately NTD$17.7 billion. Expected to be completed by 2028, the desalination plant is designed to produce 100,000 tons of water per day, making it the largest seawater desalination plant in Taiwan’s public construction record.

Close to Nanliao Fishing Port in Hsinchu City, this project is prioritized for construction among the eight 100,000-ton government-led seawater desalination plants. The scope of this project encompasses project management, engineering design, procurement, construction, and 15-year operation and maintenance, with the 30 million tons of desalinated water incorporated into the tap water system for supplying human consumption and high-tech industrial use in Hsinchu City. This diversification of water resources will foster economic growth, giving a boost to the government’s policy of turning Taiwan into an “artificial intelligence (AI) island”.

With over 40 years of experience in the field of water resources, CTCI has developed numerous Green Engineering projects worldwide, implementing net zero and protecting the ecosystem. Several leading seawater desalination technologies have been introduced into the process for optimization, achieving the benefits of saving energy by 17% and reducing carbon emissions by 16%, equivalent to the carbon reduction capacity of 60 Daan Forest Parks through saving construction space, reducing the use of chemical additives, generating less sludge, and installing solar panels for energy recovery and reuse.

As for brine discharge that concerns the public, the innovative brine reuse for less discharge technology has contributed to 400 thousand tons of decrease in brine discharge, saving seawater and protecting the marine ecosystem. In addition, in order to connect with the fisherman’s wharf, the plant site is designed to incorporate a 17-kilometer coastline and a trail for tourism to revitalize the coastal area, acting as a low-carbon exemplary park for public leisure. Furthermore, this project is an academia-industry collaboration with National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University, carrying out research on mineral extraction through carbon dioxide reaction in brine, with the hope of transforming it into business product to realize circular economy and protect the ecosystem.

In response to the business opportunities of global water recycling, and the government’s “Enhancement of Water Production by Technology” policy, CTCI has continued to expand its services, securing contracts of investing, constructing, and operating five water reclamation plants. Among them, the Southern Taiwan Science Park Reclaimed Water Plant has been recognized as the world's first industrial reclaimed water plant introduced into the chip-making process. The contracted seawater desalination plant will serve as a key step for CTCI and Taiwan to venture into the field of seawater desalination, while marking another achievement for CTCI’s Green Engineering project in fulfilling the ESG vision of being a “Guardian of Sustainable Earth”.

As Taiwan’s leading and one of the world’s top 100 global engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) company, CTCI has been committed to promoting global sustainability and has achieved outstanding performance, securing three gold and one silver medals in the 2024 Asia-Pacific Sustainability Action Awards, with Joanne Ho, CTCI’s Chief Sustainability Officer (CSO), winning the Changemaker Award. The award ceremony was held on August 8th during the 2024 SDG Asia, where CTCI was invited to showcase its tangible accomplishments to safeguard the Earth’s sustainability through its engineering expertise.
