The Department of Environmental Protection in West Virginia, U.S. issued a new mandate regarding volatile organic compounds. To respond to the mandate, APG Polytech teamed up with Hsinpu Chemical Fiber Plant in Taiwan and installed an organic stripping column to remove organic pollutants from production wastewater. The project, which was completed in June 2024, has pushed the pollutant removal rate above 99%, bringing the plant up to code and enhancing its image as being environmentally conscious.
