Circeaulair - Frequently asked questions about Circeaulair

How long does it take to implement Circeaulair in my company?

First we identify what infrastructure is present in your area and what infrastructure needs to be provided. Depending on the situation, this may take a few weeks or months. You can contact us for more details.

Will Circeaulair allow my company to become completely independent from the public water supplier?

Yes, with Circeaulair your company can be completely self-sufficient. Of course, this depends on your specific requirements for water and the quality you want for your production processes. You can still choose to use and combine different water sources.

What if new techniques are invented? Is Circeaulair going to use them too?

Ekopak always uses the most innovative techniques in the field of water reuse. As soon as new techniques are available, they are extensively tested and applied.

How much water can my company save with Circeaulair?

Ekopak and Aquafin offer the opportunity to switch completely to sustainable water. This allows you to save on your drinking water consumption or the use of fresh water sources that are increasingly under pressure.

How much money can my company save if we switch to Circeaulair?

Just like your drinking water supplier, the price for sustainable water is also region-specific. For a concrete financial estimate, please contact us.

We are located on an industrial estate covered with buildings. How much space does Circeaulair need?

Ekopak builds the water treatment facilities on the premises of Aquafin (a sewage treatment plant in your area). The purified water is then transported to your company through a new pipe network. There will be no facilities on your site, so you don’t have to worry about running out of space.

We work with food. Can Circeaulair guarantee that the revalued wastewater is suitable for contact with food, packaging or machinery?

The resulting process water, made from treated wastewater from the sewage treatment plant, will respect the minimum drinking water standards or be even better. However, if stricter water quality is required, we can always achieve this by further purifying the water at your business park. We are happy to discuss this.

Most of our water consumption is used to clean machines, and this occurs at night. Does Circeaulair allow for night-time peak consumption?

Aquafin’s sewage treatment plants produce water that can be treated day and night, seven days a week. Our Ekopak water treatment facilities will be fed continuously, so there will be no problem with water availability at night or on weekends.

There are some private houses near our industrial estate. Do water infrastructure works affect their water supply?

With Circeaulair, a separate pipe network is installed, so there is no impact on the water supply of private homes.

Who provides the infrastructure that Circeaulair needs?

Aquafin and EPICo² are building the pipe network together. Ekopak is responsible for the construction of the facility.

Are there any specific permits needed at Circeaulair?

Aquafin applies for the necessary permits for the pipelines that need to be laid. Ekopak’s facilities are built on the premises of Aquafin (local sewage treatment plants). So your company does not have to worry about permit applications.

The municipality is heavily involved in our industrial estate. Is Circeaulair coordinated with them, and to what extent do they play a role in the project?

Ekopak’s facilities are built on the premises of Aquafin (local sewage treatment plants). Therefore, the municipality only plays a limited role. To determine the route of the distribution network, we are in close dialogue with the local council and other relevant bodies.
