3rd Plant
On November 30, 2009, a 3rd production plant was commissioned at WRC. The core components of the plant were supplied and installed by the Danish company Anhydro. Local companies were commissioned with the delivery and installation of the plant periphery, including Heinsch Metall- und Anlagenbau GmbH, Mügelner Maschinenbau GmbH and Elektroanlagen Lutz Seifert. A 3rd plant was necessary in order to meet the increased demand of industry for disposal services with an expansion of processing capacity. At the same time, this plant also offers the possibility of processing liquids from the surface coating industry. This increases the total processing capacity of the 3 WRC plants to a total of 45,000t/year.
