Circle Infra Partners and BLM Industrial Contracting sign agreement to launch OASE project for sustainable water management at Chemelot.
Circle Infra Partners, in collaboration with project partners BLM Industrial Contracting and RHDHV, is proud to announce the kick-off of the OASE project. This ambitious multi-million dollar investment marks an important step toward sustainable water management at the Chemelot site. The ceremony celebrated the final investment decision and showcased the joint commitment to safety, innovation and environmental management.
OASE project
The OASE project is an important project aimed at renewing and improving the water infrastructure at Chemelot. Objectives include separation and advanced pretreatment of process water before it goes to the IAZI (integrated wastewater treatment plant), sustainable compliance with environmental regulations, and reduction of nuisances by moving from open to closed storage systems. This investment underscores Circle Infra Partners’ role as a key partner in the sustainable transformation of the Chemelot site.
The project ensures that water management at Chemelot meets strict environmental standards and increases the compliance of existing facilities by separating rainwater from process water. Advanced technologies provide significant improvements in the pretreatment of water, ensuring better removal of sludge and microplastics. Two new closed process tanks and a new highly effective settling plant are being built.
Christian Widdershoven, CEO Circle Infra Partners: “The OASE project demonstrates the commitment of Circle Infra Partners and Chemelot to strive for further sustainability of water management in the process industry, with better treatment processes ensuring a cleaner environment. We are proud to lead this initiative, which is in line with our commitment to safety, innovation and environmental stewardship.”
Jorg Huijskens, director BLM Industrial Contracting: “This collaboration with Circle Infra Partners on the OASE project also emphasizes our shared commitment to the continuous improvement and sustainability of the infrastructure at Chemelot. With our 35 years of site knowledge and experience combined with our craftsmanship, with this project, together with Circle Infra Partners and RHDHV, we are supporting Chemelot with its transition to Europe’s leading, climate-neutral and emission-free ‘circular chemistry site’. And we are already proud of that!”
Project partners Circle Infra Partners, BLM Industrial Contracting and RHDHV have combined knowledge and expertise on this project and stand for the best solution, both technically and economically. Safety is paramount in all activities. The official signing ceremony in July 2024 marks the beginning of the implementation phase of the multi-year project, which will be implemented in several phases with results in the period 2025 to 2027.
