1 March , 2018  

Astarta plans to build and put into operation a storage facility of 60,000 tonnes at Narkevychy sugar factory in Khmelnytsky region by 2020, the company’s press service has reported.
According to its information, in 2017 the holding also began the development of a water treatment plant project in the Globino industrial cluster of the company, which includes sugar and soybean processing plants, as well as a bioenergy complex.
“Globino is an industrially active region of Ukraine, where a significant number of manufacturing enterprises are located, and the amount of natural resources is limited. Therefore there appeared an idea to create a full-fledged sewage treatment plant under international standards. As early as this spring, preparatory work will begin,” the press service said.
The implementation of the project will allow to halve the use of surface water, reuse part of the purified water in a closed production cycle of these enterprises, and meet international environmental requirements.
Astarta is a vertically integrated agro-industrial holding operating in Poltava, Vinnytsia, Khmelnytsky, Ternopil, Zhytomyr, Chernihiv, Cherkasy, and Kharkiv regions
