The Jeju City Livestock Manure Public Treatment Facility expansion project increased the facility's capacity from processing up to 200 tons of livestock manure per day to up to 430 tons. The total project cost was 49.96 billion KRW.

With this expansion project, Jeju City will be able to treat up to 22% of the 1,978 tons of swine manure generated daily at the treatment facility. During the manure treatment process, up to 5,766 N㎥ of biogas is produced daily, and the biogas generated is reused as electricity to operate the treatment facility through a gas power generation system.

Notably, Kumho Construction applied its self-developed environmental new technology, the ‘KH-ABC Biogasification Technology (KH-ABC Technology),’ in this expansion project. The KH-ABC technology improves stirring (mixing) performance and digestion (the process by which microorganisms decompose livestock manure) efficiency compared to existing technologies, enabling the treatment of high-concentration livestock manure. It has technical advantages such as high biogas production and excellent odor reduction effects.

The waste heat generated from the gas power generation system is supplied as a heat source to the eco-friendly energy town operated in the nearby village (Geumak-ri, Hallim-eup, Jeju City). The supplied waste heat is expected to contribute to increasing residents' income and improving awareness of environmental infrastructure facilities by supporting the operation of the eco-friendly energy town.

A Kumho Construction official said, “With the successful completion of this project, we were able to once again confirm the excellence of Kumho Construction’s environmental technology and construction capabilities,” adding, “We plan to actively participate in various environmental projects by leveraging Kumho Construction’s environmental technology and construction experience.”
