Dear Executive,<br />
Did you know that Belgium is home to numerous successful<br />
companies specializing in renewable energy?<br />
In <strong>the</strong> fields of biomass, wind & solar energy (both <strong>the</strong>rmal &<br />
photovoltaic) <strong>Belgian</strong> companies can boast proven track records.<br />

WATERLEAU has developed many proprietary technologies <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
production of green energy from:<br />
WATER: More than 300 anaerobic waste water treatment plants produce<br />
green energy from industrial wastewater. WATERLEAU is <strong>the</strong> indisputable<br />
market leader in anaerobic waste water treatment in <strong>the</strong> beverage industry,<br />
with more than 100 references in this industry alone. Many more sustainable<br />
references in <strong>the</strong> bakery, sugar, dairy, agro- and potato processing industry.<br />
SLUDGE: Green energy from <strong>the</strong> methanization of sludge, by-product of<br />
waste water treatment, is providing up to 50% of <strong>the</strong> energy needs in large<br />
municipal waste water treatment plants in Marrakech and Fez (Morocco).<br />
Sludge drying in horizontal and vertical sludge dryers, designed and built<br />
by WATERLEAU, are turning wet sludge into dried pellets, used ei<strong>the</strong>r as<br />
fertilizer or as fuel, in Poznan (Poland), Makkah (2x) and Madinah (2x) (Saudi<br />
Arabia), or at Danis and Valmass (Belgium). Oily sludge from <strong>the</strong> oil industry,<br />
discharged into vast lagoons during many years is being treated in a fluidized<br />
bed incinerator in Romania generating energy and decontaminating <strong>the</strong> soil.<br />
BIOMASS: <strong>Energy</strong> crops, shredded wood, manure, kitchen-, gardenwaste<br />
and o<strong>the</strong>r organic waste is turned into green energy in state-of-<strong>the</strong>-art installations<br />
in West-Vleteren, and Ieper in Belgium. O<strong>the</strong>r projects are due to start<br />
being constructed in o<strong>the</strong>r parts of Europe.<br />
MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE: WATERLEAU has built a municipal solid waste<br />
incineration plant in Shanghai producing 18 MWe. O<strong>the</strong>r plants with identical<br />
energy output are under construction in Benzhou, Jixi and Haian (China).<br />
INDUSTRIAL SOLID WASTE: WATERLEAU has built a new incinerator in <strong>the</strong><br />
Antwerp harbour, turning up to 30.000 tons of medical waste (total Benelux<br />
capacity) into green energy. The same plant turns hazardous and industrial<br />
waste into renewable energy.<br />
Company description<br />
WATERLEAU offers environmental and turn-key solutions based on<br />
