THE ECHO - Ferrostaal

Most of the remaining two thirds of the costs of a new plant go
into energy supply, chemical recovery, water preparation and
wastewater treatment. Auxiliary plants serve to protect the environment
and play an important role in the construction of a new
plant. Investors must be able to prove that the new plant avoids
harming the environment, that chemical waste from pulp production
is recycled in an environmentally sound way, and that waste
water is cleaned and treated before it is returned to water sources.
RWE fulfilled all of these requirements in the last orders they
completed. This is demonstrated by the plants in Musi
(Indonesia), Stendal (Saxony-Anhalt) and the Estonian Cell plant
in Estonia. The water used for at the Stendal plant is actually
cleaner overall when it is returned to the river Elbe than when it
is taken out.

RWE, in whose footsteps MAN Ferrostaal is now following and
whose references Ferrostaal has acquired, could always rely on the
expertise of KSH. KSH is one of the few engineering companies
worldwide that are capable of planning and optimising an entire
plant, including the core components and auxiliary plants. MAN
Ferrostaal will continue to work with KSH as an engineering
partner and will reinforce this collaborative partnership by taking
a minority interest in KSH and a seat on its board of directors.
