Slovakia's IMAO to build waste treatment plant in Ada - Completion of works by year's end

Biogas BPP from Backi Petrovac, an affiliate of the IMAO group from Slovakia in Serbia, will build a waste treatment plant in Ada in eight to ten months. On the grounds of the dump, where twenty people will be hired to work, waste and biomass will be used to produce electricity and biogas, it was announced on the official municipal website.

An agreement on this investment was signed Monday (3 March 2014) in Ada between Ivan Palenkas, the director of the BPP Biogas company, and Zoltan Bilicki, the mayor of the Ada municipality.

According to the mayor of Ada, the Slovakian investor will build a waste treatment plant in Ada within eight to ten months using an environment-friendly technology that meets all standards of the European Union. This waste treatment plant will be built on a 1.85-hectare land lot on the grounds of the existing dump.

- This investment is very important for the municipality of Ada as BPP Biogas plans to hire twenty workers in the months to come. It is also significant because it should solve the problem of waste management in Ada. Namely, in few years, every municipality will have to rehabilitate its own dumps. After that, waste from the territory of Ada should be transported to the dump in Kikinda, which would result in additional costs to be covered by the citizens of Ada as the transport and disposal of waste have to be paid. This investment will eliminate these costs - said Bilicki.
