The winning partnership between Herambiente and BASF

With BASF since 2009

The partnership between Herambiente and BASF began in 2009, when the Pontecchio Marconi (Bologna) facility, which specialised in the chemical synthesis of plastic additives, became part of the German multinational. HASI is the plant's main supplier and manages tens of thousands of tonnes of hazardous liquid waste per year, thanks to an integrated system of plants, located in Ravenna (chemical physical biological plant, waste to energy plant, Storage and pre tratment centre in Ravenna) and in Pisa (evaporatore).

In 2016, HASI became a supplier to BASF Chemicals, Treviso, and two years later, a supplier of the transport and treatment of liquid waste, both hazardous and non hazardous, at the Rome plant.

In the same year, BASF planned to expand the Pontecchio Marconi facility, resulting in an increase of about 50% over 4 years in the liquid waste produced. To develop a project that ensures proper treatment and minimises environmental impact, BASF selected HASI as one of its partners. HASI translated this need into a technological project to expand the capacity of the chemical physical treatment plant in the Ravenna area, implementing treatments suited to critical components (COD, TKN, aromatic organic solvents and chlorides) and optimising logistics to reduce CO2 emissions.

“BASF is a long standing and strategic customer for Herambiente Servizi Industriali, fostering not just a business relationship over time but also a continuous exchange of expertise and technical know how,” says Manuela Gori, Sales Manager for HASI's pharmaceutical and chemical segment.
