중국에서 가장 큰 제강업체인 허베이(HBIS)사의 자회사인 탕산 제철(TIS)사가 산업용수 처리와 시설 재사용을 구축하고 운영하는 사업에 베올리아사를 선정했다. 30년 계약 기간 동안 베올리아사의 총 누적 이익은 약 3억9천만 유로가 될 것으로 전망된다.

탕산과 베올리아사는 탕산사의 두 개의 새 프로젝트에 필요한 조건을 충족하기 위해 하수를 처리하고 물을 재처리하는 시설을 구축할 계획이다. 이 시설은 새로 지어질 두 개의 신시설이 공용으로 사용하게 되고, 물의 60%를 재이용할 것으로 밝혀졌다.

 

 

 

Tangshan Iron & Steel (TIS), a subsidiary of China's largest steelmaker Hebei Iron & Steel Group (HBIS), has selected Veolia, a specialist in optimized resource management, to build and operate industrial water treatment and recycling facilities for two of its industrial projects in the Hebei province of China. Over the duration of the two 30-year contracts, total cumulative revenue for Veolia will amount to 390 million euros ($493.6 million).

In Tangshan, Veolia will build a facility to treat wastewater and recycle and cool water to cater to the needs of TIS's two new projects -- a coking plant and a gas liquefaction plant. The facility will be shared by the two TIS facilities and will enable the reuse of 60 percent of the water. Operation of the plants is expected to begin in the second half of 2014.

 

The two projects are located in a strategic economic corridor linking the two major regions of northeast and North China. The coking plant, to be operated by TIS and Shanxi Meijin Energy, one of the largest manufacturers of coke in China, and the liquefied natural gas plant are part of TIS's large and comprehensive plan to ensure continuous steel production, for which the supply of coke is vital, and to commit to achieving the highest environmental standards in its industry.

 

Veolia holds 60 percent of the joint venture with TIS. Veolia has been providing enlarged technical assistance to its steel production site in Chengde, Hebei, since 2012. Further, the company has a strong presence in China, where it supplies 40 million people with drinking water and works with a number of clients in the country's steel, chemical and automotive industries.
