Mepco to set up its own oil reprocessing plant

The Multan Electric Power Company (Mepco) would install its own oil reprocessing plant with a cost of more than Rs 10 million in a bid to save precious money and gain self-reliance. Work has already started on the plan after receiving of approval by the Mepco board of directors. The installation work would be completed till June 2010.
The plant would save millions of rupees monthly of Mepco, which is the largest power company among the nine power companies of PEPCO. The oil is used in transformers whereby water and carbon are mixed in it to purify and make it usable again. At current, only one plant, working under the private sector in Lahore, is catering to the needs of the power companies. Mepco having the largest transmission system, has decided to established the said oil reprocessing plant.
