Twellium invests GH₵3m in effluent treatment plant
Ghanaian manufacturing company, Twellium Industrial Company Limited, has invested GH₵3 million in a cutting-edge Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP) to ensure environmental sustainability.
The Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP) is a specialized facility designed to treat and purify industrial wastewater before its safe discharge into the environment.
This state-of-the-art facility ensures that all industrial waste the company generates is treated effectively, preventing any waste from being sent to the surrounding towns.
The ETP, a first-of-its-kind facility in Ghana, treats and purifies industrial wastewater, preventing any harmful discharge into the environment.
The plant processes up to 1,000 cubic meters of wastewater daily, meeting the strict GS 1212:2019 effluent discharge parameters for the food and beverage industries. The treated water can be reused for domestic purposes, such as crop irrigation, supporting neighboring farmers.
Chief Marketing Officer, Mr. Ali Ajami, emphasized the company’s commitment to environmental stewardship, stating, “We remain dedicated to preventing environmental harm and maintaining high standards of sustainability.”
“Through this effluenct treatment plant for waste management, we will ensure that all industrial waste the company generates is treated effectively, preventing any waste from being sent to the surrounding towns,” he said.
Mr. Ajami added, “this will also help mitigate potential environmental hazards and promote a clean and safe environment for local communities. This proactive approach underscores our dedication to preventing environmental havoc and maintaining high standards of environmental stewardship.”
Mr. Ajami further expressed profound gratitude to the Government of Ghana for creating an enabling environment for businesses and providing incentives to support business growth.
He said the company, which has been operating in Ghana for the past 10 years, has expanded its production line to more than eleven and provided employment to more than 5,000 Ghanaians, among other interventions.
Ghanaian Afro-dancehall sensation Stonebwoy, who was crowned Artist of the Year at the just-ended Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA), said industrialisation was the surest way to create employment opportunities and commended Twellium for investing in Ghana
The event also saw the announcement of Dr. Louisa Ansong-Satekla, Stonebwoy’s wife, as Brand Ambassador for Verna Mineral Water, further solidifying the company’s commitment to sustainability and community engagement.
This innovative initiative sets a new standard for environmental sustainability in Ghana’s manufacturing sector, showcasing Twellium’s dedication to responsible business practices.
