Modern water supply, as well as environmentally-friendly waste water and waste disposal
InfraLeuna is committed to providing its customers with an optimal water supply. Opened in 1994, our new drinking water plant guarantees the quality of the drinking water according to the rules that govern it.
Fresh water is used in particular for cooling towers and other cooling purposes. It is also a raw material in the process of chemical water preparation and a reserve for the fire service. Since December 1999 InfraLeuna draws this water from a new water works facility. Twelve ventilator cooling towers in section II of the plant provide sufficient cooling water for the technical cooling processes involved in the running of chemical and energy plants. With these two new on-site water facilities we can meet all of your water requirements.
The way in which firms in the chemical sector dispose of and treat their waste water and industrial waste has a more profound effect on their public image than ever before. Together with you, we would like to set new standards in sensitive and responsible interaction with the environment.
Our waste water disposal facilities therefore comply with international standards. Our channel separation system provides for the pre-selection of clean water. The CWP removes organic substances and nitrates. Only water of the required quality is directed into the river Saale. A newly installed prevention system prevents polluted water from reaching the Saale and organizes the waste-water treatment in the CWP.
We can efficiently and effectively meet all your needs in the field of recycling and waste disposal.  PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW
Water - Main activities: Drinking water
  | Drinking water is prepared in our own new drinking water plant in Daspig
|
| The water to be treated in Daspig comes from wells in neighbouring drinking water protection areas
|
| Preparation takes place in a modern plant that applies various steps, such as gravel filtration, reverse osmosis and active-carbon filtration
|
| Drinking water enters the network of the plant via the Daspig water works
|
| Sufficient drinking water is available to our customers throughout the site
|
| A safe water supply is ensured via simple ring structuring of the network
|
| In addition to its application in the field of sanitation, drinking water is also used in various technological processes
|
| In high-risk areas, drinking water is also used for emergency showering and eye rinsing
|
| Our drinking water complies with the requirements of the German drinking water regulations established 21.05.2001.

Water - Main activities: Fresh water
| A modern water-works, commissioned in December 1999, is available for the provision of fresh water. The customer at the Leuna site is offered high-quality water which is safeguarded by the use of modern technology such as coaguation, sedimentation and multiple-layer filtration
|
| Fresh water enters the network via the waterworks at Daspig
|
| Fresh water is available throughout the site.
|
| New pipes made from modern materials are being laid in the main supply corridors in order to meet the demands of the network
|
| A safe water supply is ensured by simple ring structuring of the network
|
| Fresh water is used principally for cooling purposes although also for feed water and as a reserve for the fire services
|
| Customers have the possibility of connecting their internal fire-extinguishing system to the main water supply
|
| Fire protection in the InfraLeuna corridors is provided by means of a systematic positioning and placement of fire hydrants
|
Water - Main activities: Cooling water
| Cooling water is circulating water used exclusively for technical cooling processes
|
| The supply of central cooling water is limited to section II of the site
|
| "Cold water" is produced at the central cooling complex
|
| The provision of cooling water takes place via a pipeline "cold water flow" and "return flow of warm water"
|
| Customers in section II of the site use this cooling water to extract the heat from their processes
|
| The heat produced by the customers’ processes is extracted by means of the central ventilator cooling system
|
| Companies connected to our cooling water network are able to meet their cooling needs efficiently and economically in comparison with other cooling solutions
|
| Cooling water is treated with corrosion inhibitors and hardening stabilizers. Ozone is employed as a biocide.
