Expertise and experience the deciding factor | |||

, Leverkusen
: Bayer Technology Services GmbH (BTS) has won a contract from Makhteshim Chemical Works Ltd. (MCW), Israel’s leading manufacturer and exporter of crop protection agents, to build the biggest waste water facility to date based on Bayer’s proprietary LOPROX® process. This wet oxidation process pretreats highly polluted wastewater prior to biological waste water treatment. The LOw PRessure Oxidation process was developed by Bayer and is designed to treat poorly degradable wastewater constituents. Bayer Technology Services has been commissioned with the extended basic engineering, the supply of the main components and engineering services in the detailed design and construction phases including start-up. The process was selected as optimal for the application on the basis of specific laboratory and piloting trials and wastewater treatment comparisons and has been suitably upscaled. BTS’ technical expertise and decades of experience in operating the Bayer process were the final deciding factors. The unique plant which is located upstream the BWWTP (Biological Waste Water Treatment Plant) will enable MCW to meet the new regulations for the quality of effluents after the biological treatment. The expected effluents quality will be far below the desired values. The series of big investments (BWWTP and LOPROX system) is indicative to the commitment of MCW to the environment. MCW places itself as a leading company in implementing new technologies for solving environmental problems. Only innovative and robust environmental protection technologies such as the wastewater treatment processes developed by Bayer are capable of meeting or even exceeding the stricter wastewater thresholds that will apply in Israel from 2010. In the run-up to the awarding of the contract, a high-ranking Israeli delegation led by Israel’s Environment Minister Gideon Ezra visited the Leverkusen Chemical Park in December 2006 to find out more about Bayer's expertise for themselves. Bayer Technology Services GmbH offers fully-integrated solutions along the life cycle of chemical/pharmaceutical plants – from development through engineering and construction to process optimization for existing plants. The Bayer subsidiary employs nearly 2,300 experts worldwide at its headquarters in Leverkusen and other German locations, as well as in regional offices in Baytown, Texas, USA; Antwerp, Belgium; Mexico City, Mexico; and Shanghai, People's Republic of China. 2006 sales totaled approx. EUR 380 million. Additional information about Bayer Technology Services is available at www.bayertechnology.com. |
