For BASF, SUEZ will provide engineering and equipment procurement services in SCIP, the largest petrochemical complex in Asia. In China, SUEZ is currently providing water supply and wastewater treatment services to BASF’s plants in SCIP and Chongqing Changshou Chemical Park. The contract signed this time is the first of such kind for engineering and equipment procurement between SUEZ and BASF. In addition, this contract reinforces SUEZ’s footprint in SCIP where it delivers industrial water treatment services and leading-edge technologies to manage industrial effluents of SCIP since 2002 and secures the management of all the site’s hazardous waste since 2007.
The Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) Equipment Supply & Site Technical Services Contract signed with our partner Wotter2 for Zhong Tian He Chuang Energy, is SUEZ’s first S.M.A.R.T Z™ Process Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) project in China. The contract includes the design, equipment supplying, site services and performance guaranteeing of over 600 m3 /day crystallisation unit to equip the reuse wastewater treatment plant of the world's largest coal to olefins project. in Ordos, North of China, Inner Mongolia. This contract follows SUEZ’s equity shares acquisition in Evatherm, a Swiss engineering company and worldwide expert in evaporation and crystallization technologies3. Reducing water consumption, recovering value from wastewater and managing environmental impacts are growing issues for industry, to counter balance the scarcity of resources while protecting the environment. The need for state-of-the art technologies ensuring recycling and by-product recovery like ZLD is ever more critical. The first ZLD contract of SUEZ in China, it opens new development opportunities in the Chinese industrial market.
