I-Foundation for the Renewal of Tigray (EFFORT) ityikitye isivumelwano nenkampani yobunjineli yaseTshayina i-ECE Engineering sokwakha isityalo sokuqala se-PVC resin (polyvinyl chloride) kwisithili sase-Alato eMekele, ikomkhulu lelizwe laseTigray, ngexabiso le-5 yeebhiliyoni zeerandi (i-US$250 yezigidi ngokwezinga lokutshintshiselana ngoku).
Ikhontrakthi ye-EPC, esayinwe izolo kwiSheraton Addis Hotel, inikwe emva kwenkqubo ende yethenda eyaqala ngo-2012. Le projekthi yaphinda yanikwa kwakhona amatyeli aliqela ngaphambi kokuba ikhontrakthi inikwe i-ECE, eyavumayo ukuyigqiba le projekthi kwiinyanga ezingama-30 ukususela ekuqaleni komsebenzi.
Kulindeleke ukuba esi sityalo sivelise iitoni ezingama-60,000 ze-resin ye-PVC ngonyaka kunye namanqanaba omgangatho aqala kwi-SG1 ukuya kwi-SG8. Ukongeza, i-complex yemveliso yeekhemikhali iya kubandakanya uthotho lweminye imigca yemveliso, kuquka isityalo se-chlor-alkali, isityalo se-vinyl chloride monomer (VCM), umgca wemveliso ye-PVC, isityalo sokucoca amanzi, isityalo sokuphinda sisetyenziswe inkunkuma, njl.
I-CEO ye-EFFORT u-Azeb Mesfin, umhlolokazi wenkulumbuso ongasekhoyo, uqikelele ukuba xa le projekthi igqityiwe, ixabiso eliyidalayo liya kunyusa kakhulu ixabiso leqela labaxhasi.
I-polyvinyl chloride resin yikhemikhali ebalulekileyo kwimizi-mveliso efunwa kakhulu ngaphakathi nangaphandle. Iingcali zithi le khemikhali ibaluleke kakhulu kubavelisi, ingakumbi iifektri zeplastiki e-Ethiopia. Okwangoku, imali eninzi yangaphandle ichithwa ekuthengeni imveliso, ingakumbi kumazwe avelisa ioyile, njengoko inokuveliswa kwioyile ekrwada ecociweyo.
I-PVC eqinileyo isetyenziswa kakhulu njengemibhobho engamanzi kwiinkqubo zokunciphisa, ngelixa i-PVC engamanzi ingasetyenziswa nakwizinto zokugquma iintambo kunye neenkqubo zokuvelisa ezinxulumene noko.
U-Azeb uthe ingcinga yomzi-mveliso yayiyeyomyeni wakhe kwaye uyavuya ukuba le projekthi ifezekisiwe. Ukwathe i-SUR kunye ne-Mesfin Engineering ziya kudlala indima ebalulekileyo kwinkqubo yokwakha le projekthi kunye nokugqitywa kwayo ngempumelelo.
Indawo yeprojekthi ityebile kwiindawo zokugcina ilitye lekalika, eliyimveliso ebalulekileyo kwizityalo ze-resin ze-PVC.
