| In
serving our customers needs for logistic cost efficiency, all raw
material cumene and about
90 % of phenol and acetone is transported by ship via INEOS Phenol's
own jetty in the river Schelde. The on-site tankfarm storage capacity
for cumene, phenol and acetone is more
than 40,000 m³. Our ISO 9001 certified
quality system and experienced, highly dedicated personnel guarantee
our customers in Europe and the world high quality products all
the time.
The plant measures up to all state of the art environmental standards.
To highlight our commitment to plant safety and environmental protection
the site has been certified by ISO 14001.
Some
environmental highlights are:
Electricity and steam are produced in a cogeneration unit, which
is fired by natural gas.
The water supply for the cooling tower is made from city water by
means of reverse osmosis, which guarantees the lowest possible water
consumption. Vapor return pipes are used during loading and unloading
so that no emissions occur.
To
improve site performance, a manufacturing excellence program beginning
with environmental, safety, health and quality systems, has been
implemented at all the INEOS sites. The program will also enhance
the overall equipment efficiency at the sites further increasing
the reliability
of our operations.
