In the summer of 2019, FENC, CTCI Education Foundation and Taiwan Institute for Sustainable Energy co-organized Taiwan in My Eyes 120H – Rhapsody of Sustainability. The program invites 28 graduate and undergraduate students to tour the second plant of OPTC and Kuanyin Dyeing and Finishing Plant. Among the 28 students who toured the plant, 21 are international students from France, Vietnam, Malaysia and Indonesia.

The second plant of OPTC inaugurated in 2018. It is one of the most environmentally minded petrochemical plants in Taiwan. Aside from incorporating AI in quality and energy management, this plant is also equipped with the solar power system. These proactive measures are our response to governmental policies and effects of climate change. After getting an orientation of the plant, the students entered the 3D VR training room for some hands-on experience and tried on the personal protective equipment. They were amazed at the sense of reality created by VR as well as the sophistication and security the protective equipment offers.

Kuanyin Dyeing and Finishing Plant owns 2 water free dyeing machines, which replace the use of water with CO2 during production. Such process consumes no water at all and reduces the use of dyeing and finishing agent. After learning about the water free dying process and observing the dyeing process on site, the students witnessed firsthand that a dyeing plant doesn’t need to be messy. Instead, it is clean and tidy.

FENC has been aggressive with incorporating innovative green facilities. It is the Company’s pledge to protecting the environment and love the earth. Through this summer program, FENC has composed a rhapsody of sustainability with students from Taiwan and the world.
