“More than ever, the chemical industry faces the challenge of growing profitably and at the same time protecting the climate. With the realization of this new, low-emission plant in Poland, ANWIL and thyssenkrupp are making an important contribution,” says Sami Pelkonen, CEO Chemical & Process Technologies at thyssenkrupp Industrial Solutions. “We look forward to our further cooperation and are proud to bring decades of plant engineering and process know-how into the project.”
The order includes the provision of technology licenses and the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) of the new facilities. The contract value is in the lower three-digit million euro range. The project is a substantial part of a larger investment program implemented by ORLEN to expand its fertilizer portfolio and open up new value chains in the petrochemical industry. By 2022, ORLEN aims to increase its fertilizer production capacity in Wloclawek by 50 percent to 1.461 million tons per year to meet growing demand.
“With thyssenkrupp, we have found a reliable partner for our investment project. The company combines extensive plant engineering experience with efficient technologies that meet and exceed the highest environmental standards. Together, we will drive growth and sustainable development of the chemical industry in Poland”, said Agnieszka Zyro, CEO at ANWIL S.A., at the signing ceremony.
