Project Overview

At our Terneuzen site in the Netherlands, progress continues in achieving 100% water circularity by 2024. This would eliminate withdrawals of fresh river water from the Biesbosch area near the confluence of the Rhine and Meuse rivers, which is also the location of a Ramsar wetland (#197).

At our Terneuzen site in the Netherlands, progress continues in achieving 100% water circularity by 2024. This would eliminate withdrawals of fresh river water from the Biesbosch area near the confluence of the Rhine and Meuse rivers, which is also the location of a Ramsar wetland (#197). As part of this long-term plan, Dow is piloting a project initiated in partnership with Evides and the regional water board, owners of Terneuzen�s wastewater treatment facility (WWTF), to process various sources of water. These sources include Dow�s private wastewater treatment plant and Terneuzen�s municipal WWTF. The pilot is running through August 2021. Full-scale implementation is planned for the end of 2024.
