Foundation and ground works progress for the new demonstration plant for enzymatic esterification

Very often when a baby is born everybody comes to welcome the newcomer to the world. For many people at Oleon, the INCITE project is a bit their baby. So it makes only sense that some core team members came to visit the newly opened construction site on Monday November 22nd.

Since the beginning of November the foundation and ground works have really kicked off in Oleon’s Oelegem site near Antwerp. This location was stripped earlier this year of remainders of previous installations in order to now be able to receive the new demonstration plant for enzymatic esterification in the framework of the European Horizon 2020 INCITE project.

The start of these ground works is only the first step in a long process of construction the new unit, which should be finalized by the summer time of 2022.

Time lapse cameras are installed that will capture the complete transformation of this site and off course we will be giving regular updates on our progress. Be sure to check for the progress updates because after all, little ones grown up so quickly!
