| ANAMMOX® technology used to reduce the energy consumption at WWTP Dokhaven in Rotterdam |
| The use of ANAMMOX® for nitrogen reduction in industrial wastewater treatment and sidestream treatment in sewage treatment plants is now a proven technology. At high nitrogen concentrations and high temperatures, the anammox bacteria provide lower energy consumption than a conventional treatment. Paques, Waterboard Hollandse Delta and researchers from Delft University and Radboud University Nijmegen will now be investigating the use in the mainstream treatment of WWTP Dokhaven in Rotterdam. They receive subsidies from Agentschap NL and STOWA to investigate the applicability of the ANAMMOX® technology at lower nitrogen concentrations and lower temperatures. The research takes place in a two-year pilot and will start in autumn 2010. |

| Paques booked good results in 2009 notwithstanding the worldwide economical crisis |
| Paques booked good results in 2009 notwithstanding the worldwide economical developments. Whereas the company booked a record order intake of 54 million euro and a record net profit of 3,2 million euro in 2008, it stood at respectively 42,8 and 2,2 million euro in 2009. This result is due to fluctuations in orders received for Paques Shanghai (China) during the 3rd and 4th quarter of 2008 and Paques Balk (the Netherlands) in mainly 2009. Despite this setback, the company has managed to maintain return on revenues. |
