This 40-foot shipping container is part of the CoRe Water project and has been set up temporarily at KWR’s site. CoRe Water, which stands for Concentrate, Recover & Reuse, revolves around an innovative treatment concept, in which municipal wastewater is first concentrated before undergoing further treatment. There is a pilot installation inside the container which is being used to test the concentration step – the concept’s main component. The testing is done using clean water, to determine whether all the technical components and the controls are working properly. The pilot will then be taken to the wastewater treatment plant at Roermond for applications with wastewater.

This hydrogen filling station is a first in the Netherlands. Anticipating the development of more facilities of this kind in our country, KWR has been filling up its company cars here since July 2019. A decision was made at that time to bring the vehicle fleet into line with the transport of the future: hydrogen-electric cars. A fill-up here still takes about an hour, while at public stations it’s no more than five minutes. With a full tank, the latest passenger car models can run for more than 600 kilometres.

In February 2016 KWR equipped the building of its knowledge institute with solar panels for the supply of sustainable energy. Its flat roof is perfectly suited to the task. The 306 monocrystalline panels, each with a capacity of 290 Wp, were installed over a surface of 3,200 m2. A live dashboard shows the production in real time. The panels face south and thus receive maximum direct sunlight.
