Certainty for a sustainable future at biorefinery Verborg

In Farmsum, Polem has recently installed two new composite silos at Verborg Group, directly next to the existing 70 m³ silos. This expansion supports the further growth of Verborg's innovative biorefinery and contributes to a stable and sustainable production process.

Optimal storage for critical raw materials

The new installation includes:

  • A 70 m³ silo for activated carbon
  • A 122 m³ silo for bleaching earth

Both silos are specifically designed for the unique flow behavior of these materials. Thanks to the seamless, mirror-smooth inner walls of composite, product quality is preserved and clogging is prevented. The high-quality insulation also ensures a stable climate in the silo, independent of external temperature fluctuations.

About Verborg Group

Verborg Group is a biorefinery from Farmsum (Groningen) with more than 30 years of experience in processing and refining vegetable oils, including coconut, palm, and sunflower oil. In 2023, the company opened a new biorefinery on the Contitank site, focused on maximum energy efficiency and with an impressive CO₂ reduction of 69% compared to conventional refining processes. With their new refinery, Verborg makes an important contribution to the development of a green chemical cluster in the Northern Netherlands.

Why Polem?

Verborg deliberately chose Polem's composite storage because of:

  • the corrosion resistance of the material
  • the excellent flow (mass flow) for difficult products
  • the high insulation value against temperature fluctuations
  • the low-maintenance operation and long service life

Every grain, every drop. Certainty from Polem.
