FGV Annual Report 2020

Water Management in Logistics & Others (LO) For our logistics operations, FGV Johor Bulkers’ (FJB) water consumption is primarily for offices and operational areas. Based in Pasir Gudang, FJB operates to provide storage and bulking services for vegetable oils, oleochemicals, biodiesel, and other special quality vegetable oil products. There is a substantial amount of operational wastewater generated here. Standard practice is to channel the wastewater to the Wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) for treatment prior to discharging out of the premises. FJB is governed by the DOE’s regulations and guidelines on the quality of effluent discharged. Given the amount of effluent produced, FJB has installed a Reverse Osmosis (RO) plant to treat effluent from the WWTP as a water source. The RO-generated water is used as feed water for boiler operations. The by product from the RO plant, i.e. wastewater is channeled to the water recycling tank for daily cleaning activities. To ensure successful implementation of FJB’s recycling activities, the performance of the wastewater treatment plant and RO plant are being monitored closely against the targets set. Between 2019 and 2020, FJB tracked the performance of the wastewater treatment plant and RO plant, and data showed that we achieved close to the targets set. Water consumption for boiler operations achieved 26% of water savings in 2019 and 25% in 2020. 2019-2020: Performance of Wastewater Treatment Plant and RO Plant Financial Year Performance of WWTP Performance of RO plant Target Performance in FY2020 Target Performance in FY2020 FY2019 4,900 mt /month 5,017 mt /month 1,800 mt /month 2,051 mt /month FY2020 4,900 mt/month 4,897 mt/month 1,900 mt/month 1,975 mt/month Financial Year Total boiler water consumption (MT) (RO water + Make-up water) RO water produced (MT) Make-up water used (MT) Saving by RO water (%) FY2019 85,139 21,849 63,290 26% FY2020 96,538 23,715 72,823 25% In 2021, FJB plans to continue with its wastewater recycling efforts. In the middle to longer term, we plan to optimise the efficiency of boiler fuel optimisation by monitoring boiler fuel utilisation against tonnage of oil heated to ensure deficient fuel utilisation.
