12 TIMES A YEAR
Every month, we update our homepage with interesting and unusual views of our locations. Here you can browse the resulting calendar.
 | WINTER HEATThis month's picture shows the snow covered Incineration Plant in Biebesheim. In the incinerator for special waste, temperatures about 1200? C are reached in the two rotary kilns that incinerate material, which is turned into chemically stable slag. Toxic fumes are then purified in a multi-stage process. |
 | BOUND TO NEUTRALITYThe inorganic treatment plant of HIM in Stuttgart neutralizes acids and suds. After the treatment remains mud and water.. |
 | RECYCLINGFluorescent tubes are hazardous waste. But seperated in their components, glas and metal can be recycled. Only the mercury powder has to be disposed of. |
 | JUST IN CASEWhereever one works with chemicals, much attention has to be paid. But if something happens, you have to act instantly. For that reason showers for eyes and skin are located allover our facillities. |
 | ALWAYS PREPAREDOur corporate firefighters are located on our facilities and are always ready for intervention. Two professional trainers ensure that every shift includes at least 6 employees with a firefighting education for example in Biebesheim. In case of emergency they have the skills to initiate necessary actions. |
 | NEIGHBOURHOODThe fact, that our plant in Biebesheim is situated in the middle of agricultural area, gets us unusual visits from time to time. In spring a crow chose one of our scrubbing towers for breeding. |
 | PERFECTLY CLEANEvery vehicle departing from the HIM facilities will be subjected to extensive tire-cleaning. Trucks have to drive into a water basin, where tires are being showerd from all sites. Sewage will be filtered before delivered to a local public sewage plant. |
 | GRÄSER ALS SCHADSTOFF-DETEKTIVENeben der Aufzeichnung meteorologischer Daten umfasst die Überwachung des Luftpfades die regelmäßige Überwachung von Bioindikatoren. Diese Wirkungs-Untersuchungen ermöglichen durch eine integrative Erfassung der luftgetragenen Schadstoffe eine Aussage zu den Emissions-Einflüssen durch den Deponiebetrieb. |
