SK Innovation Introduces Eco-Friendly Methods in Ulsan CLX Maintenance to Reduce Pollutants

[Asia Economy Reporter Hwang Yoon-joo] SK Innovation announced on the 7th that its main production base, Ulsan Complex (Complex·CLX), has converted the maintenance of its factory operation facilities to an 'eco-friendly green' method.

Through eco-friendly maintenance work, Ulsan CLX reduced waste and wastewater generated during the process of maintaining, repairing, and managing facilities such as machines, equipment, and piping installed in the factory.

Ulsan CLX minimized waste generation in various maintenance tasks and reused dismantled equipment. It was also used as auxiliary materials for training, and more than 80% of the water used for cleaning during regular maintenance was reused by utilizing a temporary recovery treatment device.

Additionally, perlite used as insulation material for tanks and piping was recycled. Perlite in good condition, replaced regularly, was separately collected and reprocessed by specialized companies for reuse.

Furthermore, SK Innovation stated that Ulsan CLX significantly reduced pollutants generated by innovating the use of electricity and generators during maintenance work.

Earlier, during the regular opening inspection of crude oil storage tanks conducted in the first half of this year, the use of commercial electricity instead of portable generators helped reduce nitrogen oxides (NOX) and greenhouse gases, which are air pollutants.
