​Nedmag's production facility requires process water. Initially this was extracted from lake Zuidlaardermeer, but North Water found out that it could be more sustainable and cheaper. In order to achieve this, the existing process-water plant was acquired from Nedmag Industries. It was modified and a new intake system was built. The entire project was based on the DBFO principle, where the financing component of the new plant in particular was arranged by North Water. The result is a process-water plant, where water is extracted from the A.G. Wildervanck canal. The intake system is shared with the Kisuma industrial water plant, which result in significant cost benefits. Each year, North Water ensures the supply of maximum 4 million m3 of process water. The process water is used in particular for washing products, cooling processes and for salt extraction.
