Join us on a water treatment project overseas.

Hello, I'm Minhee Hwang from the public relations office.

Recently, there are many news about the challenges of overseas construction projects due to the domestic recession. However, statistics from the Overseas Construction Association's Overseas Construction Integrated Information Service show that the decrease of about 481 TP3T from last year is indicative of the difficult situation.

Many construction companies have repositioned themselves in the environmental industry, expanding into markets in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and South America, as well as into lithium and nickel mining concessions.

ARK Vietnam Co.,Ltd was established in 2011 with the establishment of a factory in Hanoi, Vietnam, and has been in business for 24 years.

해외 프로젝트로 쌓아온 실적은 150만달러 이상으로 현재의 원심탈수기를 더욱 더 고도화시키는 기술개발로 탄소저감과 더불어 AI를 통한 ‘자동운전’을 ‘실제적인 자동운전’으로 탈바꿈하려고 합니다.

The essence of AAK

Every water treatment engineering company is different.

What is the essence of a dehydrator developer, and what is the essence of an a la carte? It can be divided into the former and the latter.

Previous generations of environmental engineers learned Japanese municipal sewage treatment technology and developed it into know-how that suits Korea's unique characteristics.

그당시 우리는 ‘Microorganisms도감’을 주경야독으로 탐독하고 적용하며 실험해 데이터를 축적했습니다.

And as manufacturing developed, skilled engineers with very precise tooling became skilled enough to develop their own decanter centrifuges.

In other words, the essence of a dehydrator development company can be divided into two types: a company that is more based on microbial knowledge and experience from the perspective of dehydration = microorganisms, and a manufacturing-based engineering company that gains knowledge in the field of microorganisms.

우리 에이알케이의 본질은 전자입니다. 회사 임원들은 ‘미생물도감’에 대한 높은 이해력과 현지 시장에 적응하는 Decantercentrifuge I know how to operate it.

대부분의 환경설비 기업들은 ‘탈수’에 대한 ‘미생물 메커니즘’을 잘 모릅니다. 그도 그럴것이 환경공학은 생물학과 화학의 높은 수준을 요하며 기계분야는 전기전자, 자동화, 유체역학까지 필요로 하기 때문입니다.

탈수기란 곧 정공분야의 기계이면서도 환경관련 ‘운용방법’의 베이스엔 ‘미생물’이 있다는 것을 잊어선 안됩니다.

RK's fateful dilemma

As cities become more advanced and the rate of urbanization reaches the late 90%, social structure changes and corporate governance changes, it is a very difficult challenge to train environmental engineers and cultivate younger generations.

Sometimes, EPC companies question or criticize the performance of the dehydrator when they see poor dewatering.

탈수 = 미생물이란 공식에서 폐수처리장은 계절별, 폐수성상별, 그리고 미생물 종류별 운전해야 할 방식이 다르며 판단해야 할 ‘경험인자’가 있기 때문입니다.

After at least five years of trial and error, the operator at that wastewater treatment plant gains an understanding of dewatering, and when they move to another wastewater treatment plant, they will obviously face different variables and their experience factor will change a bit.

That said, wastewater and microbes are a very challenging field.

기계는 거짓말을 하지 않습니다. 폐수처리장별·계절별 미생물에 대한 AI의 학습은 이미 일본에서 이뤄져 ‘예측가능한 폐수처리’가 하달 돼 정확한 폐수처리장 운용이 가능합니다.

As a group with a strong understanding of microorganisms, ARK is the developer of a dehydrator that has won the title of the Public Procurement Service's Excellent Quality Product and one of the few companies that now produces its own screw presses for domestic flights.

우리의 고민은, 여러분들 환경설비 기업들 조차 햇갈리고 그때그때마다 잘 안되는 폐수처리의 어려움과 미생물에 대한 무지, 그리고 때론 ‘기계탓’을 하는 그런 상황입니다.

However, this is a problem that every dehydrator developer, both domestic and international, faces.

German Centrifugal Dehydrator, Expensive Doesn't Mean All Dehydration Is Good?

소위말하는 ‘가격결정자’로 불리는 독일. 최고의 소재와 연구개발에 대한 투자로 시장가격을 형성해 왔습니다. 이들은 초기에 중국처럼 영국을 모방하며 스파이를 심고 저품질 정책을 고수해 왔으나 여느 분야가 그렇듯 수처리 분야의 제품에서도 값비싼 소재를 사용합니다.

When Germany came to Korea, they installed a decanter centrifuge. However, it didn't work well.

The algae bloom at the Paldang Dam was causing the water to dehydrate.

세계 최고의 제품도 결국 나라마다의 환경에 부합하는 ‘운전방식’ 노하우가 없다면 탈수가 안되는 무용지물인 샘 입니다.

Will Korean products do well in Southeast Asia?

No, it's the same as the German example above. If you take a product from Korea and run it in Vietnam, it won't dehydrate as well as if you run it in Indonesia.

This is because different countries have different industrial wastewater compositions, different microorganisms, seasonal changes in wastewater composition, changes in microorganisms due to rainwater inflow, and many other variables.

So the most important thing is experience. The international water treatment market is one of the most challenging markets because the water environment data is different and varies from country to country.

Sludge experience factor, a pain point for hardworking admins

Treatment plant management personnel have a lot on their plate. They need to have experience with sludge, wastewater treatment theory, dewatering machines, and an understanding of microorganisms.

Sometimes they are overstaffed with sacks due to an aging dehydrator, sometimes they are consulted for an unknown wastewater phase.

In the future, dehydration will be automated, and AI driving will not only drive optimally, but will also make up for the lack of knowledge and experience that is too often required.

Currently, RK is planning to conduct AI-based R&D to solve the lack of experience factors that will reduce the amount of chemicals used by automatic operation of dehydrators, optimize operation according to real-time sludge, reduce power consumption, and reduce the efforts of managers.

To summarize, here's why you should join us.

1. Sufficient experience with international projects
2. Constantly challenging R&D
3. Superior understanding of microbes

Overseas wastewater and water treatment plant project experience is most important

단언컨데, 여러분들이 해외 프로젝트를 진행할 때 가장 중요한 것은 ‘경험있는 파트너’ 입니다. 나라별로 다른 폐수를 경험한 사람들로 구성 된 조직.

That's RK. We have exported to more than 10 countries, including the United States, Spain, Malaysia, India, Brazil, Japan, Thailand, Indonesia, and Uzbekistan.

In particular, in Vietnam, our products are installed and operating in Phu Tho Water Treatment Plant, Cai Binh Water Treatment Plant, Bac Giang Water Treatment Plant, Vung Tau Water Treatment Plant, Thanh Hoa Water Treatment Plant, and many other areas.
