Vivendi Environnement's water division, Vivendi Water, has signed a contract with the oil group Petronas, Malaysia's biggest company, for outsourcing services in water treatment and supply at the Kertih petrochemical complex in Malaysia.
The 20-year contract does not involve any investment on the part of Vivendi Water. The company will operate a potable water production plant with a capacity of 250,000 cubic meters per day and a distribution network serving customers such as BP Chemicals, Mitsui and Union Carbide, which work with Petronas in the petrochemical complex.
The contract is expected to generate total revenue of 200 million euros. It affirms Vivendi Environnement's strong growth in industrial outsourcing services, particularly in Asia. Over the past two years, Vivendi Water has signed major contracts with Hyundai Petrochemicals and Hynix in South Korea and with Gusco in Thailand.
The water treatment facilities of the Petronas group's Dun Gun plant were built by Vivendi Water Systems. The facilities include sludge treatment. Work on the 20-million-euro contract began in May 1999 and was completed at the end of 2001.
Vivendi Water, a subsidiary of Vivendi Environnement, is the leading global provider of water and wastewater services for municipal authorities, industrial companies and consumers. The company provides the entire range of outsourcing and design-build services, as well as equipment and systems. With operations in more than 100 countries, Vivendi Water serves over 110 million consumers and 40,000 industrial customers worldwide. It has revenues of 13.6 billion euros for 2001 and 72,600 employees.
