  1. SPIRE Brokerage Event Sustainable Process Industry Project Idea Presentation Sarah Sangermann & Martin Riegels, LANXESS RUCSPIRE Brokerage Event, Brussels, 16th December 2013

  2. OrganizationLANXESS – Energizing Chemistry Sales in the year 2012 EUR 9.094 bn Employees worldwide approx. 17,500 Portfolio Performance Polymers Advanced IntermediatesPerformance Chemicals Global orientation 52 production sites worldwide LANXESS is one of Germany’s most important providers of polymers and chemicals

  3. Rubber Chemicals (RUC):a leading supplier of chemicals and additive solutions to a variety of industries Facts • Part of: LANXESS Performance Chemicals • Employees: < 600 • Production Sites: Kallo (Belgium), Brunsbüttel, Uerdingen (GER), Bushy Park (USA), Jhagadia (India) Selection Products & Brands • Antidegradants • Accelerators • Specialties: bonding agents, anti-reversion agents, fillers Applications

  4. Project Idea ConceptCurrent Situation of Production at RUC-site in Kallo, Belgium • Waste streams contain large amounts of Mercaptobenzothiazole (MBT), some amines, Zn2+and other chemicals • Complex pre-treatment in several tanks with sulfuric acid before biological waste water treatment • Some recyclable fractions can be used again, but most are burned or abolished in the biology before the waste water is passed to the river

  5. Project Idea ConceptFuture Scenario: Development of robust waste water pre-processing • Membrane and/or ion exchange technology • For large scale factories and small scale pretreatment plants • Decreased amount for biological waste water treatment • Higher recycling rate of components, e.g. MBT, bromide

  6. Idea Impact • Reduction of the amount of zinc having to be treated in the biological waste water treatment • currently: around 430 kg/year • possible reduction to „0“ • Recycling of MBT which is now burned or abolished and that could be used again in the process • raw material savings: -10% • Cost savings – reduction of costs for sending certain components to the river • Simplified Process Design in general

  7. Existing Project Consortium Testing and implementation ECOSYNTH/Belgium Evaluation of the oxidation process MIONTEC /Germany Evaluation ion exchange technology

  8. Looking for partners… • … specialist in membrane technologies to remove selective organics from waste water • … specialist in alternative technologies to remove selective organics from waste water • … other companies having similar waste water problems
