Nguyen Tan Phap, directorof the company’s branch in Quang Ngai, told Vietnam News Agency that thecompany was committed to putting the plant into operation as soon aspossible.
However, it wouldbe difficult to meet the September 30 deadlinebecause installing the second incinerator and operating it for a trialperiod would take a lot of time.
Currently, the plant istesting the first incinerator. The second incinerator is expected to beinstalled by the end of this month.
