New Services added: heating of acrylic acid & storage of waste

We are pleased to announce that we have extended our services by obtaining a permit for intermediate storage of ISO-tanks containing waste materials in bulk.
This enables us to serve customers with a demand for intermediate storage of their waste products and completes our abiltity to transport waste in bulk.

Furthermore, we would like to share with you, that we are currently running trials on a brand new installation that was especially designed to heat Acrylic Acid in the safest way possible.
Acrylic Acid is a product with a very small margin between the desired temperature and the point of polymerisation, for that reason regular heating by means of steam or hot-water is considered unsafe.
The installation is expected to be up and running in a few weeks from now.
