Purmerend, April 7, 2017 – ESI Eurosilo BV proudly announces that the management of ESI Eurosilo consisting of Henri de Boer, Sjaak van Hurck and Richard Spaargaren and the Chinese representative Qi Xilei, acquired all shares from Jaap Ruijgrok, the now former owner director.
Under harsh conditions of over 45 degrees Celsius, the Eurosilo equipment is being preassembled outside at one of the refineries of Orpic in Oman. As the production of pet coke is about to commit, our focus is to keep pace with the tight overall schedule.
Within one year after the start of this challenging project, we are now pleased to announce the successful commissioning of the potato starch silo in Jiusan in the Peoples Republic of China. The first batch of the 20,000 ton of potato starch has been stored safely.
In order to offer NTPC Group in India detailed insight in the feasibility of replacing open stockyard storage by enclosed silo storage, we recently completed and presented an extensive study. One the outcomes is a payback period of only a few years.
As a result of the Bamboo growth strategy of producer Yara, the fertiliser plant at the Yara Porsgrunn site in Norway is being upgraded to expand its production capacity. Part of the upgrade program is a new 20,000 m3 Calcium Nitrate Eurosilo.
In close cooperation with our Chinese representative New Bulks Technology, we are executing the turnkey delivery of a 25,000 ton potato starch silo for the Beidahuang Potato Group in Jiusan. After manufacturing and testing, the key-components of the silo mechanism are now ready for shipment.

Recently Larsen & Toubro assigned ESI Eurosilo to the design and delivery of two Eurosilos that will serve as a logistic link between production and shipping at the Orpic refinery in Sohar, Oman. The proven performance in coal storage made the Eurosilo the best option for pet coke.
In Turkey 25 coal-fired power plants are active with more than 50MW installed power. Six of them have over 1000 MW installed power. Another eight are now in the construction phase and most of these power plants use open or semi-closed storage solutions.
With a growing demand for rare-earth elements, such as scandium, yttrium, lanthanum and cerium, necessary to produce high-tech equipment used in health care, transportation, electronics and other industries, the extraction of these elements from coal becomes commercially viable soon.
