Taiwan-based Southeast Cement Corp will halt production at its plant in Kaohsiung city in order to replace testing equipment.
The decision took place following a sudden inspection carried out by the Environmental Protection Bureau of Kaohsiung City Government.
It is reported that in the inspection the bureau is said to have found the plant's electrostatic precipitator voltage does not meet national standard.
As a result, the company was fined TWD 100,000 (€2,705.16/US$3,097.41).
However, the company plans to invest TWD 20 million to refurbish production and pollution control equipment in the plant.
