State of the art production of KitKat® chocolates
Nestlé Middle East intends to make this
facility a base to manufacture a top-line
product portfolio for the Middle East
consumers as per their quality standards,
safety and environmental best practices.
The facility spreads over 35,000
square meters in Dubai’s most modern
industrial area, Techno Park in Jebel Ali
Free Zone. The first phase of the facility
(milk powder production unit) is fully
operational. The second phase includes
construction of offices, production and
logistics facilities for KitKat® products
and is operational since October 2010.
Tebodin Dubai was asked to review the
structural and HVAC design. Tebodin
reviewed the structural design for both
phases in view of the local regulations
and recommended modifications to be
integrated into the design. HVAC works
for the project are very critical and have
an important impact on the quality
of the product, including shelf life. To
ensure the HVAC design’s compliance
with international standards, Tebodin
carried out the design review. Tebodin
also assisted Nestlé in selection of
equipment such as the cooling towers.
Nestlé Project Manager Mr. Pierre
Capelani appreciated Tebodin’s
performance.
After the initial phase of design reviews
and tender evaluations for phase two,
Tebodin was involved in construction
management and site supervision for
the project. Tebodin’s Project Manager
Mr. Andre Piaskowski explained that
‘we are all extremely proud to be
a reliable associate for Nestlé and
this manufacturing facility, which
incorporates state of art technology.’
Besides in Dubai, Nestlé is a client in
countries such as the Netherlands,
Russia, Hungary, Czech Republic, Dubai,
Ukraine, Romania, South Africa, Nigeria
and Vietnam.

Nestlé of Switzerland, the company famous for its KitKat® chocolates, is setting up its Middle East manufacturing facility in Dubai. Tebodin Dubai is providing them with the local technical expertise they need.
Modernizing Russia’s largest paper mill
Partnering with Cabot in China
The reconstruction of the Syktyvkar paper mill is the largest investment in the Russian paper industry for over thirty years. Mondi Group is upgrading the mill’s technologies, labor safety, environmental standards and product quality. Tebodin took a significant role for technical inspection and control for civil works in this project.
Mondi Group is an integrated packaging
and business paper producer, located in
31 countries worldwide. The company
was founded in South Africa and started
a long period of international expansion
in the early 1990s. Wood is the essential
raw material for the production of pulp,
the basic ingredient of all paper and
paper-based packaging. In 2009 Mondi
produced around 3.5 million tons of
pulp, largely for internal use.
The company leases and manages
2.1 million hectares of mostly softwood
forests in Russia alone.
Expansion plansMondi Group acquired the Syktyvkar
timber processing complex in 2002.
Today the mill is the largest Mondi
operates anywhere. ‘The plant specializes
Due to growing demand for their
products, Cabot Corporation, a
successful multinational corporation
in global performance materials has
decided to increase their production
capacity. Tebodin China is proud to
be chosen as a partner for Cabot’s
expansion plans in Tianjin, China.
Tebodin was chosen to assist
Cabot with the FEED (front-end
engineering design) package to
investigate the possibility and help
in designing the process to boost
the current capacity of the facility to
meet the growing demand for their
innovative performance materials in
China and the rest of the world.
Since Cabot has already partnered
with Tebodin for their Rotterdam
facility in the Netherlands, partnering
with Tebodin in China was the new
step in deepening this successful
relationship. Tebodin will continually
support Cabot in the development
and growth of their business.

in office and offset paper, with
Snegurochka as our most popular and
awarded product line’, says Mondi Group
project director Mr. Wolfgang Schubert.
‘Newsprint paper and cardboard is also
made here. The mill supplies the markets
of Russia, Middle East and Far East. This
modernization is central to the Group’s
future expansion plans.’
Since the start of the project,
Tebodin has elaborated the design
documentation prepared by the Swedish
company Sweco Bloco, adapting it
to Russian standards. Tebodin office
director Mr. Stanislav Shapovalov at the
St. Petersburg office: ‘We also provided
procurement assistance in the search for
Russian contractors for the civil works.
Finally, we were responsible for the
construction management, including
on-site construction supervision for the
civil works.’
Production increaseThe new Syktyvkar paper mill has
increased lumbering from 3.2 to 4
million m3 per year. Pulp production
grew by 25 percent to 900,000 tons
per year. The modernization of two
papermaking machines enabled the
company to add 20 percent to the
production of cardboard and paper
products, to over a million tons per
year. Mr. Shapovalov: ‘The project
was successfully finalized and we are
proud to have taken part in this major
reconstruction project.’

Maastricht University combines hospitality and research: test subjects stay in comfortable ‘respiration rooms’ while participating in nutrition and physical activity tests. Tebodin Maastricht is helping to relocate and upgrade these highly innovative rooms.
The goal of the university’s respiration
rooms is to measure the effects of food
and exercise on human metabolism.
What is measured is the change in air
Full-scale restoration of the central railway station of Gdynia, Poland, is underway. Management and project supervision are in the hands of Tebodin Poland.
Poland’s main railway operator Polskie
Koleje Panstwowe SA (PKP SA) initiated
the thorough restoration of the station
in August 2010, with the intention to
complete the project before the opening
ceremony of UEFA EURO 2012.
Registered buildingThe existing station was built on the
location of the original railway building
that was destroyed during World War
composition as test subjects eat, exercise
and breathe in a strictly controlled
environment. This means that the
rooms need to be absolutely airtight
and perfectly balanced in terms of
temperature and humidity. At the
same time, they need to ‘breathe’ a
welcoming atmosphere.
Complex challengeMr. Paul Schoffelen, project manager
for Maastricht University: ‘This project
for our Human Biology department is a
complex one, which requires the input
II. Pre-war fragments were discovered
during the preparatory stages, which will
be incorporated into the new interiors.
They will serve as a ‘memory wall’ in the
registered historic building.
Safe and luxuriousPlans for the future building include
a re-opening of the second floor
as additional waiting areas and a
modernization of the ancient colonnade,
which will contain commercial pavilions.
The new station will offer a modern
traveling environment with visual
information systems, escalators, press
of a specialized engineering company.
The project involves relocating and fully
renewing our respiration rooms, adding
new respiration rooms and designing a
new research area, all within the space of
an existing building. Right from the start,
Tebodin has proved a valuable partner.
They have helped us fulfill our scientific
mission above expectations.’
Fulfilling high ambitionsA multi-disciplinary team from various
departments of Tebodin Maastricht has
worked closely with the client’s team at
the design stage. Tebodin’s Mr. Jimmy
Siauw: ‘The challenge was
to integrate civil technical
solutions and the client’s
scientific goals in the
building, with the intention
of creating something that
would be beyond state-of-
the-art. In addition to the
design contract, Maastricht
University has awarded us
the follow-up contracts
to oversee construction
and coordinate the
implementation of a new fire
alarm system.’
The initial design phase of this project
started in 2009, in response to lack
of space in the face of high scientific
aspirations. The business partnership
continues and construction is now
scheduled for completion in
May 2011.

new framework agreement for piping engineering
services, which include basic and detail engineering
jobs in various sizes. In a port infrastructure project,
recently completed to BASF’s full satisfaction, we
engineered two new jetties with loading arms,
modifications to an existing jetty, new piperacks, fire
protection equipment and a new compressor building.’
NetherlandsAs part of a new framework contract in the Netherlands, Tebodin started work
on adjustments to the chemicals unloading facilities at the BASF location in
De Meern. Tebodin project manager Mr. Bouke Lases: ‘There are new
environmental regulations and BASF wants to
optimize the unloading logistics. We started with
defining the loss of containment scenarios and a
fire fighting strategy, together with BASF and the
local authorities. When the conceptual design
was finished, we were also awarded the detail
design and tender management. All activities are
executed in close cooperation with the BASF
team, to ensure that the strengths of both
organizations are combined. The project will
be realized in the second and third quarter
of this year.’

Mr. Peter Bijkerk
The excellent working relationship between Czech car maker Skoda Auto and Tebodin already spans more than half a century. We asked Mr. Lubomir Vasicky, head of the Construction Department at Skoda Auto, to tell us more about what really counts in quality-oriented cooperation.
Skoda Auto, a member of Volkswagen
Group, is a global player in fiercely
competitive markets. The company
has three production plants in the
Czech Republic and also makes cars in
Ukraine, Russia, Kazakhstan, India and
China. Mr. Vasicky has been responsible
for every Skoda Auto construction
project since 1999.
Strong growthWith increasingly attractive models
and a relentless commitment to quality,
Skoda Auto has experienced strong
growth over the past two decades.
Mr. Vasicky: ‘We are a Czech company
with well over a hundred years of
tradition in automobile production.
In fact, Skoda is one of the world’s oldest
car brands. The core of our business is
the development, production and sales
of cars, components, original parts and
accessories. Since we became part of
Volkswagen Group twenty years ago,
production more than tripled,
Skoda truly went global and has built
up a large sales and service network in
highly developed markets.’
New models‘We are market leader in
Czech Republic and want to extend
our strong position in each of the other
countries’, Mr. Vasicky continues.
‘In terms of investment projects,
the next few years will be crucial in
achieving our goals. All construction
activities have to be coordinated with
great accuracy in order to avoid any
clashes with ongoing production or any
delays for new models.’ Mr. Vasicky
is proud of the ‘Building of the Year’
awards that Skoda earned since he
has been leading the Construction
Department. ‘We have been working
together with Tebodin Czech Republic
and its predecessor for more than fifty
years now. This cooperation includes
conceptual planning and design,
preliminary studies and analyses,
procurement and construction
management.’
International experience‘Our business relationship is based on
mutual trust and top quality’, Mr. Vasicky
concludes. ‘Nevertheless, all assignments
are awarded on the basis of open
tenders. As Tebodin has been working
with us for such a long time, they know
many of our buildings like their own
shoes. They are able to react very quickly
to our requests with regard to structural
adaptations and extensions, partly due to
their archives of original documentation.
Moreover, their wide range of specialists
is very beneficial to Skoda, not only with
regard to our technical requirements,
but also because of our tight schedules
and Tebodin’s international experience.
For example, we successfully cooperated
on the expansion of our assembly
capacity in Aurangabad, India.’

DubaiBASF Construction Chemicals is the producer
of a range of admixtures, which enable concrete
manufacturers to improve concrete strength and
durability. ‘Tebodin was asked to provide BASF and
the authorities with comprehensive studies regarding
the project’s environmental, social, and health and
safety aspects’, says project manager Mrs. Flordeliz
Guarin. ‘Besides the plant itself, the new design
comprised an administrative and laboratory building,
engineering workshop, warehousing and transformer,
water and sewage facilities.’
The Environmental Impact Assessment covered soil and
groundwater, ecology, air and noise levels. Mrs. Guarin: ‘For the Risk Assessment
we performed a preliminary hazard analysis that covered all substances, activities
and processes. We made several recommendations to mitigate and decrease the
risks to staff and surroundings. We also proposed some additional guidelines and
monitoring plans which will enable continuous improvement in minimizing risks to
the environment and health and safety.’
GermanyIn Schwarzheide you will find one of BASF’s larger
production sites. The 230-hectare site, boasting
12 kilometers of road and 20 kilometers of rail,
has become an attractive location for chemicals and
plastics producers. BASF welcomes and supports
newcomers at Schwarzheide, where it operates over
20 separate plants and state-of-the-art R&D facilities.
Tebodin has been working for BASF Schwarzheide
since 1992. A dedicated team, led by Mr. Reinhard
Stieg and Mr. Torsten Biela, works on operative
requirements every day. ‘We support BASF’s in-house
engineering department and are responsible for
planning capacity extensions and redevelopment
projects’, says Mr. Stieg. ‘The framework contract covers the process, mechanical,
piping and civil engineering. Our dedicated technical team has built up valuable
experience with the facilities and specific BASF regulations.’
BelgiumIn the Port of Antwerp in Belgium, BASF operates more than 50 separate plants
on a 600-hectare site. The integrated chemical production center is one of BASF’s
flagship Verbund-sites. ‘The cooperation between Tebodin and BASF started in 2007’,
says project manager Mr. Peter Bijkerk. ‘At the close of 2010, we entered into a
Supporting global client BASF Tebodin is a trusted international project partner for BASF. In Dubai, Tebodin recently prepared the relocation of a concrete admixture plant. In both Belgium and Germany, the framework contracts between BASF and Tebodin were extended. In the Netherlands a new framework contract was signed, with the design for a new chemicals unloading facility as the first job.

eggs, egg products and animal feed.
Through the years, Novelli Group has
steadily expanded its activities and target
markets. Owner Mr. Enzo Novelli has
lots of specific know-how and experience
in the processing of flour, flakes and
extruded products. ‘I first started the
development of a new pet food plant
in 2002. The complete design of a new
building and production line, involving
special equipment, was developed
with the help of Tebodin CCE. They are
renowned independent experts.’
Double capacityThe Tebodin consultants enjoy an
international reputation as the most
experienced and knowledgeable
consultants in the agricultural and
food industries. ‘We assist clients
with in-depth process and logistical
knowledge’, says Mr. Harm Klein,
Tebodin project manager for the Novelli
plant. ‘Pet food production in Terni
started in 2009. Now Novelli intends to
double capacity, and at the same time
realize a strict separation between the
animal feed and pet food process.’
Based on the latest process concepts,
the new plant will produce 15 tons an
Agro IndustryAn important market that Tebodin supports is the Agro Industry. Feed mills,
pet food plants, premix plants, grain terminals and processing plants for
agricultural produce, they’re all part of our field of activity.
Tebodin has also gained a wealth of experience when it comes to the realization
of laboratories for this sector or even complete R&D facilities.
We support many well-known multinational agro industrial companies in the
development of their assets worldwide.Our range of services go all the way from
consultancy for concept selection, master planning, site due diligence and selection
and Environmental Impact Assessment and permitting through to design &
engineering, procurement and construction and project management.
A wealth of ideas from everyone involved was used in the preparation of nine initiatives that aim to reduce overall costs on Dutch LOP projects by five percent. The LOP contract is a long-term agreement between client NAM and a partnership of Cofely, A. Hak and Tebodin, which includes new builds and renovations to NAM’s onshore oil and gas installations in the Netherlands.
Focus on results Mr. Peter Janssen of Tebodin Hengelo:
‘We are now at the implementation
stage of what we call the ‘LOP efficiency’
(LEF) project, which started in September
2009. We analyzed the input from within
the organizations of all LOP partners
Tebodin Maastricht has recently been
awarded a contract by Medwaste
Control. The contract contains the
civil, structural and architectural basic
and detail design for the erection of a
medical waste decontamination unit.
The unit is housed in an existing
building at the ENCI premises in
Maastricht, which will partly be
transferred into a business area.
The decontamination facility plant
comprises offices, a canteen, several
PGS15 storages and a decontamination
unit. Medwaste, founded in 2006,
specializes in packaging, transportation,
sterilization and recycling of Medical
Waste. Decontamination is a relatively
recent development to effectively kill
infectious and contagious germs in
medical waste. After treatment the
decontaminated medical waste fraction
is transported to a waste disposal unit
and incinerated. The decontamination
unit in Maastricht is unique in the
Netherlands and should be operational
in September 2011.

Mr. Klein: ‘The lines are a combination
of readily available equipment and
purpose-made installations, developed
and built in Novelli’s own workshop.
The full separation of raw materials,
production, storage and loading of
animal feed and pet food will be
completed this year.’
FlexibilityA new building houses the storage
silos and the process lines for dosing,
flaking, grinding and mixing. Flakes can
be produced and delivered as a single
product, or be supplied as a mixture
together with extruded products.
Mr. Klein: ‘The lines are designed in
such a way that the process can easily
and decided to focus on a series of nine
initiatives we expected to be feasible
and lead to results. These initiatives are
in the fields of reporting, conducting
meetings, project teams, procurement,
scope control, agreements, using NAM
standards and knowledge management.
Examples are: combining consultation
structures from separate contracts,
reducing the amount of space taken up
by site offices, combining project reports
and critically considering who needs to
attend a meeting.’
Workable plansAfter the partners identified the focus of
their joint efforts, they worked out their
plans in more detail. To ensure optimal
practical feasibility, project leaders from
current LOP projects were included in
the ‘spotlight teams’. One of these was
be applied to different final products.
Production can take place just-in-time
because of this flexibility and the large
silo volumes. Smooth materials for floors,
walls and roof ensure a working area
clear of dirt and residues. This modern
plant is able to produce the highest
possible quality pet food.’

required a good many hours on top of
already busy schedules, and several very
intensive phones off sessions away from
the office. Over time, we have seen the
rough ideas bloom into workable plans
of action.’
Early successThe first cost reductions have already been
reported. Delegated ‘initiative owners’
are watching over the realization in actual

of chainsaws for both professionals
and homeowners, Stihl also markets
protective wear, garden equipment
and hiking gear. ‘Our strong customer
focus is reflected in the emphasis on
service’, says Mr. Axel Overath at the
Industrial Planning department in
Waiblingen. ‘In many countries we have
a training center, providing dealer and
customer instruction on safe operation,
maintenance and repair.’
Simultaneous extension and renovationThe facilities in Sady, a village just
outside Poznan, are becoming too
cramped for the expanding business.
The project scope covers a simultaneous
extension and renovation of the Stihl
premises. Tebodin project manager
Mr. Kamil Kaniewski at the Poznan
office: ‘The warehouse will be enlarged
with almost 4,000 m2 of floor space,
while the office and training space is
gaining almost 550 m2. The project
also includes a fire tank with pumping
station, a special sprinkler system and
the associated site infrastructure.’
Consistent high qualityAs predicted by Mr. Hans Peter Stihl
from the Stihl Board of Directors after the
festive Ukraine opening in 2010, Tebodin
was made responsible for the project
management. ‘The Tebodin knowledge
network provides consistent high quality
anywhere’, says Mr. Kaniewski. ‘We
are also responsible for the investor’s
supervision and cost control. The
first phase, culminating in the
selection of the general contractor,
has been completed at the end
of March. Then we continue with
the challenging part, the extension
and renovation without any real
interruption of daily operations.
The only free days are during the
weekends. We also have special
insurance-related requirements
to deal with. This project is to be

outdoor power equipment, with the
chainsaw still being the centerpiece.
The company continuously works
on product innovation, holds over
1,000 patents and exports to
more than 160 countries.
In the United Arab Emirates, the growing

Abu Dhabi Refinery Company TAKREER
is building a third refinery and upgrading
the infrastructure to distribute and store
the refined products. A new pipeline
network of almost a thousand kilometers
in length is to connect the refineries in
Ruwais and Sas Al Nakhl with various
storage terminals.
Contract requirementsTwo South Korean companies, Daewoo
and GS Engineering & Construction are
awarded the EPC contracts for this
1 billon US$ project and the detail
design is done in their Seoul
headquarters. As explained by projects
director Mr. Frits Boonen, Tebodin
Middle East has provided project
management services to TAKREER in
a similar project. ‘Due to its successful
execution, Tebodin Middle East was
shortlisted to bid for this project.
We have been made responsible for
managing and supervising the FEED
contractor and the EPC contractors.
We need to ensure that their
performance meets all contract
requirements.’
Innovative fire fightingThe project includes 37 new storage
tanks and environmental protection
measures, such as fire fighting and leak
detection systems. Mr. Boonen: ‘Tebodin
introduced a new concept called the Big
Flow Foam System for fighting full tank
top fires. Until now it was customary to
pump out product as much as possible
and then let the tank burn out, which
leads to considerable damage and fires
that often burn longer than two full
days. New technology and modern foam
agents can now extinguish a full tank top
fire in four hours. TAKREER has decided
to install Big Flow Foam Systems in all of
their tank farms.’
Enjoying KoreaThe EPC phase started in May 2010
and project completion is expected in
December 2013. ‘We currently have two
project management teams stationed in
Seoul, one at Daewoo and one at GS’,
says Mr. Boonen, who enjoyed making
his acquaintance with the South Korean
capital. The Tebodin team, currently
made up of 29 professionals, is definitely
enjoying the work on this prestigious
project.’

The chance of accidents is lowered by risk-assessment, taking measures, and sticking to rules, regulations and permits. However, despite all precautions, calamities may occur, dropping the company into unknown territory that they had better prepare for.
Out of your handsMr. Jef Royen, Senior Consultant Safety and Risk Management at Tebodin
Maastricht, helps companies face reality: ‘Calamities can not be prevented
with absolute certainty and after a calamity, the situation is out of your hands.
We saw this again recently after a major fire at a chemical storage complex
in Moerdijk, the Netherlands. Immediately,
operational management is taken over by
outsiders. Production gets halted and other
parties, on behalf of the government, will research
the causes, question of blame, and direct and
hidden damages.’
Assessment, measures and recordsMr. Royen, with his experience, stresses
the importance of correct record keeping:
‘During the research, high-quality records showing
proper risk-assessment, application
and maintenance of risk-reducing measures,
and conscious adherence
to regulations and permits are
important - and actually required when
European ordinances apply.
In short, attention to risks, measures and
correct records strengthen the position of the
company significantly in case of a calamity.

Energy company GDF Suez keeps enlarging its capacity for generating renewable energy. Tebodin is assisting GDF Suez Energy Poland in two projects. They involve the world’s largest biomass-only power plant and a 30 MW wind farm.
Safety The energy provider, employing
over 200,000 people worldwide, is
increasingly active in renewable energy.
GDF Suez already is the European leader
in power generation from biomass
and wants to become Poland’s biggest
producer of renewable energy.
Green UnitThe French company is building the
‘Green Unit’ next to its 1,800 MW
co-fired power plant in Połaniec.
With a capacity of 190 MW, the Green
Unit will burn wood and agricultural
waste with a Circulating Fluidized Bed
(CFB) boiler, the first of its kind in the
world capable of burning biomass fuels
only. This will bring a reduction in
CO2 emissions by 1.2 million tons per
year. Bringing the Green Unit into full
operation by December 2012 requires
several adaptations to other installations.
The Warsaw and Kraków offices of
Tebodin Poland were awarded a
multi-year contract for the supervision
of the electrical works, consultancy
services and detailed design of
biomass storage and transport.
Wind powerApart from biomass incinerators,
GDF Suez is also developing wind
power. The company’s first 20 MW wind
farm is under operation in Jarogniew-
Moltowo and several other projects are
in the pipeline. Most Polish wind farms
can be found in the northwest of the
country, along the Baltic coast.
‘We are building a new complex of
fifteen wind turbines with a combined
capacity of 30 MW’, says GDF Suez
project manager Mr. Wojtek Wieclaweck
Sierota. ‘It is currently our biggest wind
energy project in Eastern Europe.
Due to their experience with wind
power and tight project management,
we have asked Tebodin Poland to
perform the Owner’s Engineer services.’
Owner’s Engineer‘We are proud of this assignment’ says
Tebodin project manager Mr. Andrzej
Matyja at the Szczecin office. ‘As the
Owner’s Engineer under international
FIDIC standards, we are responsible
for the selection of contractors,
verifying the detailed design, cost
management and procurement for
the turbine delivery and installation.
We also do the overall project
management, technical supervision
and the commissioning phase.
The project is to be completed by
the end of 2011, after which we will
manage the guarantee period.
We hope to be involved in future
GDF Suez wind energy projects.’

World leader in building materials Lafarge is world leader in cement,
number 2 in aggregates and number
3 in concrete and gypsum. From its
headquarters in Paris, France, Lafarge has
been operating in Russia for almost
15 years. The company has a cooperation
agreement with the European Bank for
Reconstruction and Development (EBRD)
which supports Lafarge’s growth in
Russia. Lafarge Cement Russia currently
BREEAM (the British Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method) provides
a practical and measurable framework for sustainable
design, construction, operation and
maintenance all kinds of new buildings and
renovations. Tebodin is applying its expertise to its
first BREEAM project in the Netherlands.
The three-day Industrial Biotech World 2011 conference was recently held in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. The event focused on the next steps in applying biotechnology on an industrial scale.
Developing and upscaling the biorefinery
industry is vital to make the move
towards a bio-
based economy.
Biotechnology
offers enormous
opportunities,
not just for the
economy, but
equally to our
environment and
to our society.
Chemical and
biotechnological
companies are
exploring nature’s treasure chest in
owns and operates two plants in Russia,
Voskresensk 120 km southeast of
Moscow and Korkino, 40 km south of
Chelyabinsk in the Urals, the industrial
heartland of Russia.
A significant challengeThe first new project of Lafarge in
Russia, in cooperation with EBRD,
will be a modern dry line cement plant
at Ferzikovo in Kaluga region, with a
‘Excellent’ renovation in the NetherlandsMrs. Kitty Eegerdingk of Tebodin Netherlands relates: ‘Monarch’ is the name of
an office building in the city of The Hague that is to be one-hundred percent
renovated. BAM Techniek obtained the design and built contract for ‘Monarch’
for all building installations. They called in the support of our expertise for the
deliverance of evidence for the BREEAM certificate ‘Excellent’ at the end of
December 2011.’
‘One specific task, among others, is the appointment of a Commissioning Authority.
Tebodin Eindhoven has the expert with the appropriate education and skills to
perform this role, in the person of Mr. Marco Vink. According a commissioning
plan he will lead a commissioning team and makes sure all stated requirements
will be guarded during the design, realization and users phase.’
Other offices within the Tebodin network have experience with LEED
and BREEAM projects as well, such as Poland and Serbia. Don’t hesitate to
contact any office for more information.
search of methods to replace petroleum-
based synthetics. In what is known
as ‘white biotechnology’ for example,
enzymes and living cells are used to
synthesize products that are degradable,
and sometimes require less energy and
create less waste during production.
Event sponsorThere are still many big challenges
in this field, and plenty of topics for
lively discussions. As one of the event’s
sponsors, Tebodin was also involved as a
‘content provider’. According to project
engineer Remko
Dur, Tebodin
participated in
presentations,
networking
sessions and panel
discussions. ‘It was
an international
gathering of
key players in
production capacity of two million tons
a year. This greenfield project represents
a breakthrough in Russia in terms of
energy efficiency, safety performance
and minimized environmental impact.
Lafarge also plans to make use of
renewable energy sources at this plant.
The construction process has started
recently and the plant is expected
to be operational in 2014.
Tebodin and Lafarge: a proven partnershipTebodin became General Designer of
Lafarge’s Ferzikovo greenfield project;
responsible for complete engineering,
including basic design, detail
design validation and development,
procurement services, author and
technical supervision, safety supervision,
start-up and commissioning.
The new cement production line will
have a capacity of 5,000 tons of clinker
per day. The scope of the project is
huge, and the schedule and specifics
are challenging. For example, the plant
will have a long belt conveyor across the
river Oka, spanning 240 meters between
its supports.
For this project, Tebodin Russia has
formed a consortium with Tebodin
Ukraine and the scope is split between
the two countries. With its extensive
global network, Tebodin can truly always
be close to such global clients and
their projects. Besides Russia, Lafarge
is a client in countries such as Ukraine,
Romania, Russia and Poland.

biotechnology, including developers,
scientists and chemical companies such
as DSM, Akzo, Dow and Dupont, as well
as government representatives.’
New processes and partnershipsWith an expected global turnover of
$375 billion in 2013, compared to
$175 billion in 2010, the business
potential of industrial biotech is clear.
Remko: ‘An important topic was the shift
and future focus on the pharmaceutical,
food & feed, bioplastics and fine
chemicals sectors, before moving on to
bulk chemicals
and biofuels,
for we
currently only
see a focus on
biofuels and
biomass to
energy.
We also
discussed
second-generation biotechnical
production processes with new
enzymes, acids and up- downstream
processes, biofuels, feedstock locations
and its logistics. Significant industrial
developments can now be expected as
large companies are working on new
processes, often in partnerships with
small pioneering developers.
We look back on a successful event for
Tebodin, both in terms of knowledge
exchange and from a marketing and
PR perspective.’

Between early Summer and Christmas of 2010, Tebodin assisted Zeolyst in modifying their chemical installation at Delfzijlto be able to test a new product. In that short time span, Tebodin also managed to implement a new control and safeguarding philosophy.
Significant modificationsZeolyst CV produces a wide variety of
zeolites-based catalysts at facilities in
Kansas, the United States, and Delfzijl,
the Netherlands. One of Zeolyst’s
catalytic products enables diesel fueled
trucks to meet EURO-6 emission
requirements per 2013 as dictated by
European legislation. To meet market
demand for this product, they aimed
to raise production capacity in Delfzijl,
requiring significant modification of the
installations.
Intense cooperationZeolyst chose Tebodin because of its
known expertise in concept selection,
judging environmental impact and
permitting requirements, and its ability
to quickly screen the market
for suitable vendors. Because
of a tight project schedule the
exhaust gas treatment installation
was ordered before the complete
process design was frozen.
Tebodin, with project manager
Mr. Erik Eppinga, was responsible
for overall project management,
permits application, and civil,
mechanical and process design for
both basic and detailed design.
Furthermore, a major change in the
reactor required a new control and
safeguarding philosophy. To ensure a
safe design Tebodin conducted a

safeguarding measures.
New production lineAll work was executed in intense
cooperation with Zeolyst, which
provided part of the engineering
capabilities themselves. Plant manager
Mr. Jos Leuveld monitored the
multidisciplinary Zeolyst-Tebodin
project team: ‘With this project,
Zeolyst CV entered a new area, handling
combustible materials in our calciner.
To assure the development of a safe and
efficient process, we needed support of
consultants with expertise in this area.
Tebodin supplied this.’
After a successful test period Zeolyst
intends to build a new production line
in Delfzijl.
