- The latest member of Intel's Fab family
is nearing completion.
Fab 68, like all other Intel Fabs,
is a state of the art facility.
We are very proud of what we have accomplished here
in Dalian.
Fab 68 is designed to meet the most stringent
global environmental standards.
Starting with the building layout,
Fab 68 has been designed and constructed to fit
into the surrounding landscape.
Surrounded by green space, trees and native plants,
the buildings take full advantage of natural sunlight
and are very energy efficient.
We would like to show you some other
key environmental design features at Fab 68.
We have designed Fab 68 in such a way as to prevent
chemical releases into the environment.
All our outdoor chemical loading
and offloading areas are equipped
with spill containment trenches with lockout valves.
Lockout valves are kept in closed positions at all times
and only opened after liquid in the trenches is tested
and proven to be clean rainwater.
All floors where chemicals are handled
are all special coded
and sloped toward containment trenches.
In the rare event of a spill,
the spill material would flow to the trenches
and then to the appropriate treatment.
None of the drains in the building discharge directly
into the environment.
Like all Intels facilities,
Fab 68 is equipped with the same type
of pollution control equipment for waste water
and air emissions.
All waste water and air emissions
from our industrial operations are treated
to meet very stringent global environmental standards,
prior to being released into the environment.
Fab 68 is equipped with
an advanced organic emissions destruction unit
as well high efficient boilers and chillers.
All designed to significantly reduce our emissions.
Our treatment systems are all closely monitored
and controlled 24 hours a day.
Fab 68's final wastewater treatment system
for our industrial operations is equipped
with a diversion capability,
this system is designed to divert water back to treatment
if it does not meet discharge limits.
Since Dalian is located in drought prone north east China,
we have added some additional features to our design here
at Fab 68.
In addition to ensuring our wastewater
and air emissions are safe for the environment,
our Fab 68 facility includes a very advanced
water conservation system.
This system is designed to recover Fab rinse water,
and route this water back to other industrial operations
such as cooling towers and scrubbers.
As we get closer to starting our factory,
we also want to make certain that all of our employees
are knowledgeable about our commitment to the environment.
On the first day of work,
each employee is required to take training that covers
many features of Fab 68's environmental design
and operation.
New employee training also includes such things
as how to properly dispose of solid waste and batteries
and includes reminders on appropriate water
and storm water control.
To minimize traffic impact and to reduce vehicle emissions,
Fab 68 offers employees bus rides to and from work.
We are very proud of what we've accomplished so far here
in Dalian, we have built one of the most advanced,
state of the art facilities,
that is also designed to minimize our impact
on the environment.
I am confident that the longer we are here,
the more people will realize our commitment
to the environment and to the community.
