Sinopec Project

Industrial contract to operate facilities to collect, treat and recycle industrial wastewater at Yanshan, near Beijing. At the beginning of 2006, Veolia Water signed an important partnership contract with a subsidiary of Sinopec, China's leading oil refiner. Under this agreement, Veolia Water and Sinopec Corp. Beijing Yanshan PetroChemicals (BYP) will set up a joint venture to operate facilities to collect, treat and recycle industrial wastewater at BYP's site at Yanshan, located 50 kilometers to the south west of Beijing.

The treatment facilities consist of four wastewater treatment plants with a total capacity of 129,000 m³/d and two recycling units that will re-inject water into the manufacturing cycle with a total capacity of 40,000 m³/d. They will treat water from the refinery and the six petrochemical units that make up the Yanshan industrial complex, as well as the domestic wastewater from the site.
