State of the art production of KitKat® chocolates

Nestlé Middle East intends to make this

facility a base to manufacture a top-line

product portfolio for the Middle East

consumers as per their quality standards,

safety and environmental best practices.

The facility spreads over 35,000

square meters in Dubai’s most modern

industrial area, Techno Park in Jebel Ali

Free Zone. The first phase of the facility

(milk powder production unit) is fully

operational. The second phase includes

construction of offices, production and

logistics facilities for KitKat® products

and is operational since October 2010.

Tebodin Dubai was asked to review the

structural and HVAC design. Tebodin

reviewed the structural design for both

phases in view of the local regulations

and recommended modifications to be

integrated into the design. HVAC works

for the project are very critical and have

an important impact on the quality

of the product, including shelf life. To

ensure the HVAC design’s compliance

with international standards, Tebodin

carried out the design review. Tebodin

also assisted Nestlé in selection of

equipment such as the cooling towers.

Nestlé Project Manager Mr. Pierre

Capelani appreciated Tebodin’s

performance.

After the initial phase of design reviews

and tender evaluations for phase two,

Tebodin was involved in construction

management and site supervision for

the project. Tebodin’s Project Manager

Mr. Andre Piaskowski explained that

‘we are all extremely proud to be

a reliable associate for Nestlé and

this manufacturing facility, which

incorporates state of art technology.’

Besides in Dubai, Nestlé is a client in

countries such as the Netherlands,

Russia, Hungary, Czech Republic, Dubai,

Ukraine, Romania, South Africa, Nigeria

and Vietnam.

Nestlé of Switzerland, the company famous for its KitKat® chocolates, is setting up its Middle East manufacturing facility in Dubai. Tebodin Dubai is providing them with the local technical expertise they need.

Modernizing Russia’s largest paper mill

Partnering with Cabot in China

The reconstruction of the Syktyvkar paper mill is the largest investment in the Russian paper industry for over thirty years. Mondi Group is upgrading the mill’s technologies, labor safety, environmental standards and product quality. Tebodin took a significant role for technical inspection and control for civil works in this project.

Mondi Group is an integrated packaging

and business paper producer, located in

31 countries worldwide. The company

was founded in South Africa and started

a long period of international expansion

in the early 1990s. Wood is the essential

raw material for the production of pulp,

the basic ingredient of all paper and

paper-based packaging. In 2009 Mondi

produced around 3.5 million tons of

pulp, largely for internal use.

The company leases and manages

2.1 million hectares of mostly softwood

forests in Russia alone.

Expansion plansMondi Group acquired the Syktyvkar

timber processing complex in 2002.

Today the mill is the largest Mondi

operates anywhere. ‘The plant specializes

Due to growing demand for their

products, Cabot Corporation, a

successful multinational corporation

in global performance materials has

decided to increase their production

capacity. Tebodin China is proud to

be chosen as a partner for Cabot’s

expansion plans in Tianjin, China.

Tebodin was chosen to assist

Cabot with the FEED (front-end

engineering design) package to

investigate the possibility and help

in designing the process to boost

the current capacity of the facility to

meet the growing demand for their

innovative performance materials in

China and the rest of the world.

Since Cabot has already partnered

with Tebodin for their Rotterdam

facility in the Netherlands, partnering

with Tebodin in China was the new

step in deepening this successful

relationship. Tebodin will continually

support Cabot in the development

and growth of their business.

in office and offset paper, with

Snegurochka as our most popular and

awarded product line’, says Mondi Group

project director Mr. Wolfgang Schubert.

‘Newsprint paper and cardboard is also

made here. The mill supplies the markets

of Russia, Middle East and Far East. This

modernization is central to the Group’s

future expansion plans.’

Since the start of the project,

Tebodin has elaborated the design

documentation prepared by the Swedish

company Sweco Bloco, adapting it

to Russian standards. Tebodin office

director Mr. Stanislav Shapovalov at the

St. Petersburg office: ‘We also provided

procurement assistance in the search for

Russian contractors for the civil works.

Finally, we were responsible for the

construction management, including

on-site construction supervision for the

civil works.’

Production increaseThe new Syktyvkar paper mill has

increased lumbering from 3.2 to 4

million m3 per year. Pulp production

grew by 25 percent to 900,000 tons

per year. The modernization of two

papermaking machines enabled the

company to add 20 percent to the

production of cardboard and paper

products, to over a million tons per

year. Mr. Shapovalov: ‘The project

was successfully finalized and we are

proud to have taken part in this major

reconstruction project.’

Maastricht University combines hospitality and research: test subjects stay in comfortable ‘respiration rooms’ while participating in nutrition and physical activity tests. Tebodin Maastricht is helping to relocate and upgrade these highly innovative rooms.

The goal of the university’s respiration

rooms is to measure the effects of food

and exercise on human metabolism.

What is measured is the change in air

Full-scale restoration of the central railway station of Gdynia, Poland, is underway. Management and project supervision are in the hands of Tebodin Poland.

Poland’s main railway operator Polskie

Koleje Panstwowe SA (PKP SA) initiated

the thorough restoration of the station

in August 2010, with the intention to

complete the project before the opening

ceremony of UEFA EURO 2012.

Registered buildingThe existing station was built on the

location of the original railway building

that was destroyed during World War

composition as test subjects eat, exercise

and breathe in a strictly controlled

environment. This means that the

rooms need to be absolutely airtight

and perfectly balanced in terms of

temperature and humidity. At the

same time, they need to ‘breathe’ a

welcoming atmosphere.

Complex challengeMr. Paul Schoffelen, project manager

for Maastricht University: ‘This project

for our Human Biology department is a

complex one, which requires the input

II. Pre-war fragments were discovered

during the preparatory stages, which will

be incorporated into the new interiors.

They will serve as a ‘memory wall’ in the

registered historic building.

Safe and luxuriousPlans for the future building include

a re-opening of the second floor

as additional waiting areas and a

modernization of the ancient colonnade,

which will contain commercial pavilions.

The new station will offer a modern

traveling environment with visual

information systems, escalators, press

of a specialized engineering company.

The project involves relocating and fully

renewing our respiration rooms, adding

new respiration rooms and designing a

new research area, all within the space of

an existing building. Right from the start,

Tebodin has proved a valuable partner.

They have helped us fulfill our scientific

mission above expectations.’

Fulfilling high ambitionsA multi-disciplinary team from various

departments of Tebodin Maastricht has

worked closely with the client’s team at

the design stage. Tebodin’s Mr. Jimmy

Siauw: ‘The challenge was

to integrate civil technical

solutions and the client’s

scientific goals in the

building, with the intention

of creating something that

would be beyond state-of-

the-art. In addition to the

design contract, Maastricht

University has awarded us

the follow-up contracts

to oversee construction

and coordinate the

implementation of a new fire

alarm system.’

The initial design phase of this project

started in 2009, in response to lack

of space in the face of high scientific

aspirations. The business partnership

continues and construction is now

scheduled for completion in

May 2011.

new framework agreement for piping engineering

services, which include basic and detail engineering

jobs in various sizes. In a port infrastructure project,

recently completed to BASF’s full satisfaction, we

engineered two new jetties with loading arms,

modifications to an existing jetty, new piperacks, fire

protection equipment and a new compressor building.’

NetherlandsAs part of a new framework contract in the Netherlands, Tebodin started work

on adjustments to the chemicals unloading facilities at the BASF location in

De Meern. Tebodin project manager Mr. Bouke Lases: ‘There are new

environmental regulations and BASF wants to

optimize the unloading logistics. We started with

defining the loss of containment scenarios and a

fire fighting strategy, together with BASF and the

local authorities. When the conceptual design

was finished, we were also awarded the detail

design and tender management. All activities are

executed in close cooperation with the BASF

team, to ensure that the strengths of both

organizations are combined. The project will

be realized in the second and third quarter

of this year.’

Mr. Bouke Lases

Mr. Peter Bijkerk

The excellent working relationship between Czech car maker Skoda Auto and Tebodin already spans more than half a century. We asked Mr. Lubomir Vasicky, head of the Construction Department at Skoda Auto, to tell us more about what really counts in quality-oriented cooperation.

Skoda Auto, a member of Volkswagen

Group, is a global player in fiercely

competitive markets. The company

has three production plants in the

Czech Republic and also makes cars in

Ukraine, Russia, Kazakhstan, India and

China. Mr. Vasicky has been responsible

for every Skoda Auto construction

project since 1999.

Strong growthWith increasingly attractive models

and a relentless commitment to quality,

Skoda Auto has experienced strong

growth over the past two decades.

Mr. Vasicky: ‘We are a Czech company

with well over a hundred years of

tradition in automobile production.

In fact, Skoda is one of the world’s oldest

car brands. The core of our business is

the development, production and sales

of cars, components, original parts and

accessories. Since we became part of

Volkswagen Group twenty years ago,

production more than tripled,

Skoda truly went global and has built

up a large sales and service network in

highly developed markets.’

New models‘We are market leader in

Czech Republic and want to extend

our strong position in each of the other

countries’, Mr. Vasicky continues.

‘In terms of investment projects,

the next few years will be crucial in

achieving our goals. All construction

activities have to be coordinated with

great accuracy in order to avoid any

clashes with ongoing production or any

delays for new models.’ Mr. Vasicky

is proud of the ‘Building of the Year’

awards that Skoda earned since he

has been leading the Construction

Department. ‘We have been working

together with Tebodin Czech Republic

and its predecessor for more than fifty

years now. This cooperation includes

conceptual planning and design,

preliminary studies and analyses,

procurement and construction

management.’

International experience‘Our business relationship is based on

mutual trust and top quality’, Mr. Vasicky

concludes. ‘Nevertheless, all assignments

are awarded on the basis of open

tenders. As Tebodin has been working

with us for such a long time, they know

many of our buildings like their own

shoes. They are able to react very quickly

to our requests with regard to structural

adaptations and extensions, partly due to

their archives of original documentation.

Moreover, their wide range of specialists

is very beneficial to Skoda, not only with

regard to our technical requirements,

but also because of our tight schedules

and Tebodin’s international experience.

For example, we successfully cooperated

on the expansion of our assembly

capacity in Aurangabad, India.’

DubaiBASF Construction Chemicals is the producer

of a range of admixtures, which enable concrete

manufacturers to improve concrete strength and

durability. ‘Tebodin was asked to provide BASF and

the authorities with comprehensive studies regarding

the project’s environmental, social, and health and

safety aspects’, says project manager Mrs. Flordeliz

Guarin. ‘Besides the plant itself, the new design

comprised an administrative and laboratory building,

engineering workshop, warehousing and transformer,

water and sewage facilities.’

The Environmental Impact Assessment covered soil and

groundwater, ecology, air and noise levels. Mrs. Guarin: ‘For the Risk Assessment

we performed a preliminary hazard analysis that covered all substances, activities

and processes. We made several recommendations to mitigate and decrease the

risks to staff and surroundings. We also proposed some additional guidelines and

monitoring plans which will enable continuous improvement in minimizing risks to

the environment and health and safety.’

GermanyIn Schwarzheide you will find one of BASF’s larger

production sites. The 230-hectare site, boasting

12 kilometers of road and 20 kilometers of rail,

has become an attractive location for chemicals and

plastics producers. BASF welcomes and supports

newcomers at Schwarzheide, where it operates over

20 separate plants and state-of-the-art R&D facilities.

Tebodin has been working for BASF Schwarzheide

since 1992. A dedicated team, led by Mr. Reinhard

Stieg and Mr. Torsten Biela, works on operative

requirements every day. ‘We support BASF’s in-house

engineering department and are responsible for

planning capacity extensions and redevelopment

projects’, says Mr. Stieg. ‘The framework contract covers the process, mechanical,

piping and civil engineering. Our dedicated technical team has built up valuable

experience with the facilities and specific BASF regulations.’

BelgiumIn the Port of Antwerp in Belgium, BASF operates more than 50 separate plants

on a 600-hectare site. The integrated chemical production center is one of BASF’s

flagship Verbund-sites. ‘The cooperation between Tebodin and BASF started in 2007’,

says project manager Mr. Peter Bijkerk. ‘At the close of 2010, we entered into a

Supporting global client BASF Tebodin is a trusted international project partner for BASF. In Dubai, Tebodin recently prepared the relocation of a concrete admixture plant. In both Belgium and Germany, the framework contracts between BASF and Tebodin were extended. In the Netherlands a new framework contract was signed, with the design for a new chemicals unloading facility as the first job.

the new plant will produce 15 tons an

Agro IndustryAn important market that Tebodin supports is the Agro Industry. Feed mills,

pet food plants, premix plants, grain terminals and processing plants for

agricultural produce, they’re all part of our field of activity.

Tebodin has also gained a wealth of experience when it comes to the realization

of laboratories for this sector or even complete R&D facilities.

We support many well-known multinational agro industrial companies in the

development of their assets worldwide.Our range of services go all the way from

consultancy for concept selection, master planning, site due diligence and selection

and Environmental Impact Assessment and permitting through to design &

engineering, procurement and construction and project management.

A wealth of ideas from everyone involved was used in the preparation of nine initiatives that aim to reduce overall costs on Dutch LOP projects by five percent. The LOP contract is a long-term agreement between client NAM and a partnership of Cofely, A. Hak and Tebodin, which includes new builds and renovations to NAM’s onshore oil and gas installations in the Netherlands.

Focus on results Mr. Peter Janssen of Tebodin Hengelo:

‘We are now at the implementation

stage of what we call the ‘LOP efficiency’

(LEF) project, which started in September

2009. We analyzed the input from within

the organizations of all LOP partners

Tebodin Maastricht has recently been

awarded a contract by Medwaste

Control. The contract contains the

civil, structural and architectural basic

and detail design for the erection of a

medical waste decontamination unit.

The unit is housed in an existing

building at the ENCI premises in

Maastricht, which will partly be

transferred into a business area.

The decontamination facility plant

comprises offices, a canteen, several

PGS15 storages and a decontamination

unit. Medwaste, founded in 2006,

specializes in packaging, transportation,

sterilization and recycling of Medical

Waste. Decontamination is a relatively

recent development to effectively kill

infectious and contagious germs in

medical waste. After treatment the

decontaminated medical waste fraction

is transported to a waste disposal unit

and incinerated. The decontamination

unit in Maastricht is unique in the

Netherlands and should be operational

in September 2011.

Mr. Klein: ‘The lines are a combination

of readily available equipment and

purpose-made installations, developed

and built in Novelli’s own workshop.

The full separation of raw materials,

production, storage and loading of

animal feed and pet food will be

completed this year.’

FlexibilityA new building houses the storage

silos and the process lines for dosing,

flaking, grinding and mixing. Flakes can

be produced and delivered as a single

product, or be supplied as a mixture

together with extruded products.

Mr. Klein: ‘The lines are designed in

such a way that the process can easily

and decided to focus on a series of nine

initiatives we expected to be feasible

and lead to results. These initiatives are

in the fields of reporting, conducting

meetings, project teams, procurement,

scope control, agreements, using NAM

standards and knowledge management.

Examples are: combining consultation

structures from separate contracts,

reducing the amount of space taken up

by site offices, combining project reports

and critically considering who needs to

attend a meeting.’

Workable plansAfter the partners identified the focus of

their joint efforts, they worked out their

plans in more detail. To ensure optimal

practical feasibility, project leaders from

current LOP projects were included in

the ‘spotlight teams’. One of these was

Tebodin’s Mr. Rein Sieswerda: ‘The work

required a good many hours on top of

already busy schedules, and several very

intensive phones off sessions away from

rough ideas bloom into workable plans

of action.’

Early successThe first cost reductions have already been

reported. Delegated ‘initiative owners’

is building a third refinery and upgrading

the infrastructure to distribute and store

the refined products. A new pipeline

network of almost a thousand kilometers

in length is to connect the refineries in

Ruwais and Sas Al Nakhl with various

storage terminals.

Contract requirementsTwo South Korean companies, Daewoo

and GS Engineering & Construction are

awarded the EPC contracts for this

1 billon US$ project and the detail

design is done in their Seoul

headquarters. As explained by projects

director Mr. Frits Boonen, Tebodin

Middle East has provided project

management services to TAKREER in

a similar project. ‘Due to its successful

execution, Tebodin Middle East was

shortlisted to bid for this project.

We have been made responsible for

managing and supervising the FEED

contractor and the EPC contractors.

We need to ensure that their

performance meets all contract

requirements.’

Innovative fire fightingThe project includes 37 new storage

tanks and environmental protection

measures, such as fire fighting and leak

detection systems. Mr. Boonen: ‘Tebodin

introduced a new concept called the Big

Flow Foam System for fighting full tank

top fires. Until now it was customary to

pump out product as much as possible

and then let the tank burn out, which

leads to considerable damage and fires

that often burn longer than two full

days. New technology and modern foam

agents can now extinguish a full tank top

fire in four hours. TAKREER has decided

to install Big Flow Foam Systems in all of

their tank farms.’

Enjoying KoreaThe EPC phase started in May 2010

and project completion is expected in

December 2013. ‘We currently have two

project management teams stationed in

Seoul, one at Daewoo and one at GS’,

says Mr. Boonen, who enjoyed making

his acquaintance with the South Korean

capital. The Tebodin team, currently

made up of 29 professionals, is definitely

enjoying the work on this prestigious

project.’

The chance of accidents is lowered by risk-assessment, taking measures, and sticking to rules, regulations and permits. However, despite all precautions, calamities may occur, dropping the company into unknown territory that they had better prepare for.

Out of your handsMr. Jef Royen, Senior Consultant Safety and Risk Management at Tebodin

Maastricht, helps companies face reality: ‘Calamities can not be prevented

with absolute certainty and after a calamity, the situation is out of your hands.

We saw this again recently after a major fire at a chemical storage complex

in Moerdijk, the Netherlands. Immediately,

operational management is taken over by

outsiders. Production gets halted and other

parties, on behalf of the government, will research

the causes, question of blame, and direct and

hidden damages.’

Assessment, measures and recordsMr. Royen, with his experience, stresses

the importance of correct record keeping:

‘During the research, high-quality records showing

proper risk-assessment, application

and maintenance of risk-reducing measures,

and conscious adherence

to regulations and permits are

important - and actually required when

European ordinances apply.

In short, attention to risks, measures and

correct records strengthen the position of the

company significantly in case of a calamity.

Tebodin can assist your company with a

broad range of services, from any office in our

worldwide network.’

Energy company GDF Suez keeps enlarging its capacity for generating renewable energy. Tebodin is assisting GDF Suez Energy Poland in two projects. They involve the world’s largest biomass-only power plant and a 30 MW wind farm.

Safety The energy provider, employing

over 200,000 people worldwide, is

increasingly active in renewable energy.

GDF Suez already is the European leader

in power generation from biomass

and wants to become Poland’s biggest

producer of renewable energy.

Green UnitThe French company is building the

‘Green Unit’ next to its 1,800 MW

co-fired power plant in Połaniec.

With a capacity of 190 MW, the Green

Unit will burn wood and agricultural

waste with a Circulating Fluidized Bed

(CFB) boiler, the first of its kind in the

world capable of burning biomass fuels

only. This will bring a reduction in

CO2 emissions by 1.2 million tons per

year. Bringing the Green Unit into full

operation by December 2012 requires

several adaptations to other installations.

The Warsaw and Kraków offices of

Tebodin Poland were awarded a

multi-year contract for the supervision

of the electrical works, consultancy

services and detailed design of

biomass storage and transport.

Wind powerApart from biomass incinerators,

GDF Suez is also developing wind

power. The company’s first 20 MW wind

farm is under operation in Jarogniew-

Moltowo and several other projects are

in the pipeline. Most Polish wind farms

can be found in the northwest of the

country, along the Baltic coast.

‘We are building a new complex of

fifteen wind turbines with a combined

capacity of 30 MW’, says GDF Suez

project manager Mr. Wojtek Wieclaweck

Sierota. ‘It is currently our biggest wind

energy project in Eastern Europe.

Due to their experience with wind

power and tight project management,

we have asked Tebodin Poland to

perform the Owner’s Engineer services.’

Owner’s Engineer‘We are proud of this assignment’ says

Tebodin project manager Mr. Andrzej

Matyja at the Szczecin office. ‘As the

Owner’s Engineer under international

FIDIC standards, we are responsible

for the selection of contractors,

verifying the detailed design, cost

management and procurement for

the turbine delivery and installation.

We also do the overall project

management, technical supervision

and the commissioning phase.

The project is to be completed by

the end of 2011, after which we will

manage the guarantee period.

We hope to be involved in future

GDF Suez wind energy projects.’

first BREEAM project in the Netherlands.

The three-day Industrial Biotech World 2011 conference was recently held in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. The event focused on the next steps in applying biotechnology on an industrial scale.

Developing and upscaling the biorefinery

industry is vital to make the move

towards a bio-

based economy.

Biotechnology

offers enormous

opportunities,

not just for the

economy, but

equally to our

environment and

to our society.

Chemical and

biotechnological

companies are

exploring nature’s treasure chest in

Voskresensk 120 km southeast of

Moscow and Korkino, 40 km south of

Chelyabinsk in the Urals, the industrial

heartland of Russia.

A significant challengeThe first new project of Lafarge in

Russia, in cooperation with EBRD,

will be a modern dry line cement plant

at Ferzikovo in Kaluga region, with a

‘Excellent’ renovation in the NetherlandsMrs. Kitty Eegerdingk of Tebodin Netherlands relates: ‘Monarch’ is the name of

an office building in the city of The Hague that is to be one-hundred percent

renovated. BAM Techniek obtained the design and built contract for ‘Monarch’

for all building installations. They called in the support of our expertise for the

deliverance of evidence for the BREEAM certificate ‘Excellent’ at the end of

December 2011.’

‘One specific task, among others, is the appointment of a Commissioning Authority.

Tebodin Eindhoven has the expert with the appropriate education and skills to

perform this role, in the person of Mr. Marco Vink. According a commissioning

plan he will lead a commissioning team and makes sure all stated requirements

will be guarded during the design, realization and users phase.’

Other offices within the Tebodin network have experience with LEED

and BREEAM projects as well, such as Poland and Serbia. Don’t hesitate to

contact any office for more information.

search of methods to replace petroleum-

based synthetics. In what is known

as ‘white biotechnology’ for example,

enzymes and living cells are used to

synthesize products that are degradable,

and sometimes require less energy and

create less waste during production.

Event sponsorThere are still many big challenges

in this field, and plenty of topics for

lively discussions. As one of the event’s

sponsors, Tebodin was also involved as a

‘content provider’. According to project

engineer Remko

Dur, Tebodin

participated in

presentations,

networking

sessions and panel

discussions. ‘It was

an international

gathering of

key players in

production capacity of two million tons

a year. This greenfield project represents

a breakthrough in Russia in terms of

energy efficiency, safety performance

and minimized environmental impact.

Lafarge also plans to make use of

renewable energy sources at this plant.

The construction process has started

recently and the plant is expected

to be operational in 2014.

Tebodin and Lafarge: a proven partnershipTebodin became General Designer of

Lafarge’s Ferzikovo greenfield project;

responsible for complete engineering,

including basic design, detail

design validation and development,

procurement services, author and

technical supervision, safety supervision,

start-up and commissioning.

The new cement production line will

have a capacity of 5,000 tons of clinker

per day. The scope of the project is

huge, and the schedule and specifics

are challenging. For example, the plant

will have a long belt conveyor across the

river Oka, spanning 240 meters between

its supports.

For this project, Tebodin Russia has

formed a consortium with Tebodin

Ukraine and the scope is split between

the two countries. With its extensive

global network, Tebodin can truly always

be close to such global clients and

their projects. Besides Russia, Lafarge

is a client in countries such as Ukraine,

Romania, Russia and Poland.

biotechnology, including developers,

scientists and chemical companies such

as DSM, Akzo, Dow and Dupont, as well

as government representatives.’

New processes and partnershipsWith an expected global turnover of

$375 billion in 2013, compared to

$175 billion in 2010, the business

potential of industrial biotech is clear.

Remko: ‘An important topic was the shift

and future focus on the pharmaceutical,

food & feed, bioplastics and fine

chemicals sectors, before moving on to

bulk chemicals

and biofuels,

for we

currently only

see a focus on

biofuels and

biomass to

energy.

We also

discussed

second-generation biotechnical

production processes with new

enzymes, acids and up- downstream

processes, biofuels, feedstock locations

and its logistics. Significant industrial

developments can now be expected as

large companies are working on new

processes, often in partnerships with

small pioneering developers.

We look back on a successful event for

Tebodin, both in terms of knowledge

exchange and from a marketing and

PR perspective.’

Between early Summer and Christmas of 2010, Tebodin assisted Zeolyst in modifying their chemical installation at Delfzijlto be able to test a new product. In that short time span, Tebodin also managed to implement a new control and safeguarding philosophy.

Significant modificationsZeolyst CV produces a wide variety of

zeolites-based catalysts at facilities in

Kansas, the United States, and Delfzijl,

the Netherlands. One of Zeolyst’s

catalytic products enables diesel fueled

trucks to meet EURO-6 emission

requirements per 2013 as dictated by

European legislation. To meet market

demand for this product, they aimed

to raise production capacity in Delfzijl,

requiring significant modification of the

installations.

Intense cooperationZeolyst chose Tebodin because of its

known expertise in concept selection,

judging environmental impact and

permitting requirements, and its ability

to quickly screen the market

for suitable vendors. Because

of a tight project schedule the

exhaust gas treatment installation

was ordered before the complete

process design was frozen.

Tebodin, with project manager

Mr. Erik Eppinga, was responsible

for overall project management,

permits application, and civil,

mechanical and process design for

both basic and detailed design.

Furthermore, a major change in the

reactor required a new control and

safeguarding philosophy. To ensure a

safe design Tebodin conducted a

safeguarding measures.

New production lineAll work was executed in intense

cooperation with Zeolyst, which

provided part of the engineering

capabilities themselves. Plant manager

Mr. Jos Leuveld monitored the

multidisciplinary Zeolyst-Tebodin

project team: ‘With this project,

Zeolyst CV entered a new area, handling

combustible materials in our calciner.

To assure the development of a safe and

efficient process, we needed support of

consultants with expertise in this area.

Tebodin supplied this.’

After a successful test period Zeolyst

intends to build a new production line

in Delfzijl.
