                             Deputy PM underlines environmental safety at alumina plant
                             Environmental protection and community  health must be given priority during the operation of the Nhan Co  alumina plant in the Central Highland province of Dak Nong, Deputy Prime  Minister Trinh Dinh Dung said.
 
Deputy PM Trinh Dinh Dung talked to reporters while touring the Nhan Co alumina plant 
Dung made the request at a working visit  on January 12 to the plant, the country’s first alumina production  project, which is invested by the Vietnam National Coal-Mineral  Industries Holding Corporation Limited (Vinacomin).
The Government leader commended Vinacomin on selecting advanced  technology for both production and waste treatment for the plant.
He noted that the plant has contributed significantly to economic growth  in the Central Highlands in general and Dak Nong in particular,  creating jobs for local residents.
With a total investment surpassing 16.8 trillion VND (739.2 million  USD), the Nhan Co project consists of the Nhan Co alumina plant and  bauxite mining, with a capacity of approximately 650,000 tonnes of  alumina annually.
The Nhan Co plant is now in trial run and is scheduled to be handed over to Vinacomin within the first quarter of 2017.
As of January 11, it produced 67.301 tonnes of hydrate and 21,828 tonnes of alumina in total.
The plant shipped 100 tonnes of hydrate to the Republic of Korea in  December 2016 and another 100 tonnes to Japan in early January
