For many generations, people have taken a lot from the global environment system. At MSM, we inculcate a workforce culture to operate responsibly and protect the environment.
In the last five decades, MSM has invested a substantial amount to continuously improve on environment-friendly technology in energy efficiency, gas and water treatment. The investment has led MSM to increase its operational agility and enabled the exploration of new and exciting product stream opportunities.
Being an innovator, MSM employs a cutting-edge nano-filteration waste treatment system to handle the discharge produced by the Ion Exchange Resin (IOR) in the process of sugar refining. This novel system recycles salt for resin-regeneration, filters the remaining ingredients and cleanses the effluent before discharge. As a result, waste water load is reduced and leaves minimal impact to the environment.
In addition, MSM’s facilities uses the lowest amount of steam in the industry, a proud achievement held throughout the years. The refinery devises a system known as Mechanical Vapour Re-compressor (MVR) and Vertical Crystallization Tower (VKT) which reduces the amount of cool water, hence less heat is dispersed into the atmosphere.
Furthermore, MSM have also installed back pressure turbines which enables naturally generated electricity to be produced based on the current power needs. Overall, this initiative reduces the consumption of fossil fuel and the emission of heat and carbon dioxide into the environment.
The implementation of these initiatives are purposely designed to continuously monitor, review and improve our operational efficiency, environmental performance and minimise the impact of our activities to the environment.
