The plant will employ their patented ReOil technology to convert plastic waste into synthetic feedstock, which can then be used to produce base chemicals and plastics for all types of applications.
Flowserve Corporation, a provider of flow control products and services for the global infrastructure markets, announced that it was awarded a contract to provide control and ball valves to OMV’s chemical recycling demonstration plant in the city of Schwechat, Austria, located about 10 miles southeast of Vienna.
The OMV demonstration plant will employ their patented ReOil technology to convert plastic waste into synthetic feedstock, which can then be used to produce base chemicals and plastics for all types of applications, including packaging for food industry and medical products. The facility, which has a design capacity of 16,000 tons per year, is expected to be in operation in 2023. Based on the results of this demonstration plant, OMV will implement a permanent, industrial-scale plant with operations planned for 2026.
