Low-voltage cables power bioethanol plant in Belgium
Nexans has completed a contract worth approximately €1m (£854,000) euros to supply low-voltage power cables for the BioWanze project-a new plant producing bioethanol from wheat and sugar beet.
The plant, located in Wanze near Huy sur Meuse (Belgium), represents an investment of €250m (£213m) for the Südzucker Group, one of Europe's leading sugar producers. It will produce half of the annual bioethanol volume for the Belgian market, or 125,000 cubic meters per annum during the next six years.
Nexans entered a frame agreement with Siemens NV/SA, the contractor in charge of project engineering and management, for the supply of approximately 350 kilometers of low-voltage (LV) power cables in only five months, with over one hundred different product references. The cables were manufactured by Nexans production facilities in Belgium, located in Dour and Buizigen.
BioWanze recently completed its first bioethanol delivery.
