On 21 April 2017, following a construction period of one and a half years, REMEX Mineralstoff GmbH moved in to its new corporate headquarters – only a short distance from the former address in the Düsseldorf port area. With the completion of the new building, REMEX corporate business units and specialist departments, which were previously distributed throughout the port area will be bundled in one building. Located on an area of circa 4,800 m², the new administrative centre will provide up to 100 employees a modern workplace in the heart of NRW. At the same time, REMEX has reconfirmed its commitment to the Rhine location in Düsseldorf. We kindly ask you to inform all relevant departments and contact persons in your company of our new address, including the changed telephone and fax numbers.

‘pp.landfill’ stands for public private cooperation in the field of waste management

Landfill operators must ensure that economic viability is aligned with matters of long-term safety and legal compliance. They are responsible for both the protection of environment, best use of limited resources and thus for the future workings of modern economies.

At the same time, the legal framework for dealing with waste has been tightened in most regions of the world. As a consequence, the operation and long-term aftercare of a landfill site requires considerably more know-how, financial investments and securities. Cooperation with an experienced industrial (private) partner can offer a new way to approach these challenges.

An example for a successful implementation of this new approach is the ‘Kapiteltal” landfill site in Kaiserslautern, operated by ZAK (Zentrale Abfallwirtschaft Kaiserslautern). Joining forces with REMEX they were able to expand the existing site while staying in charge and sharing the risks with a financially reliable partner and experienced landfill operator.

In late 2016, REMEX subsidiary HEROS Sluiskil B.V. became co-shareholder in Tank Terminal Sluiskil B.V. (TTS) The terminal, with a tank storage capacity of 50,000 m³ is located on the impressive Sluiskil site in the Netherlands. Together with partner shareholders, EcoService Europe and ATM Moerdijk, existing long-term collaboration in the international wastewater sector has been intensified.

HEROS has been working with EcoService Europe since 2004, and the company is well-known for its expertise in the treatment and transport of fertilizers as well as in the area of wastewater logistics. ATM Moerdijk in turn specializes in the treatment of hazardous waste. HEROS, as the third partner, contributes its capacity and experience in storage, processing and transport.

TTS projects are predominantly international. Contaminated wastewater shipments up to 1000 tons in volume are delivered by tanker as well as barge. The operation runs 7 days a week. With our new stake in TTS, HEROS and thus REMEX, are further expanding expertise and market presence. > more

Picture: The high-density material backfilling facility in Staßfurt

Minex GmbH, an associated company of MINERALplus GmbH and REMEX Mineralstoff GmbH, belongs to the few companies worldwide that are commercially active with procedures for the safe and resource-efficient filling of large cavities in underground salt mines. The expansive development is reflected in patented method protection (together with Ciech Sodawerk Staßfurt GmbH & Co. KG), which has been validated for other European countries since the first patent filing three years ago. Apart from Germany, the patent now covers Belgium, France, Great Britain, the Netherlands and Poland.

Minex is a specialist company for backfilling brine-filled caverns with high-density material. The specially designed construction material is produced by use of fly ash and reaction salts from waste incineration, then mixed with parts of saline water and pumped into the cavern. There it solidifies, thus ensuring the long-term stability of the cavern.

The backfill material for filling salt caverns is produced by Minex in Staßfurt, the cradle of German potash mining. The first production step is the processing of a dry mix – delivered daily from the MINERALplus plant in Gladbeck – with saline water from the cavern. This mixture is then pumped into the cavern through the inner pipe of a double-walled pipe. The displaced high-quality saline water rises through the outer pipe upwards and can processed in the neighbouring soda plant.

Salt caverns to be filled by Minex GmbH in Staßfurt have a total volume of circa four million cubic meters. The backfilling commenced in 2008 and will continue until at least 2030. By using waste in its processes, the method is a sustainable and safe solution to extract saline-water while ensuring stability of the surroundings and safe disposal of the hazardous remains from waste incineration. > more
