OMV AG, Vienna
is investing €64 million to build a unit that will produce high-purity isobutene at subsidiary OMV Deutschland GMBH’s 76,300-b/d refinery in Burghausen
The 60,000-tonne/year ISO C4 unit—which will be integrated into the refinery’s existing metathesis plant responsible for energy-efficient manufacturing of propylene for the plastics industry—will feature the first global application of an OMV-BASF SE jointly developed technology for direct production of high-purity isobutene
The advantage of integrating the ISO C4 and metathesis units supports OMV’s heat-integration strategy
which will allow up to 80% of the heating energy required by the new process to be met by waste heat from existing installations at the site
BASF also will supply a catalyst system that will fulfill all process requirements for the plant that—scheduled for start of construction this summer—is due for commissioning in September 2020
Isobutene produced by the new unit will complement OMV’s current product portfolio and will be used for manufacturing glues
While OMV disclosed no further details regarding the new technology
the company said it does plan to license the technology to third parties sometime in the future

The aim here is to further increase the purity of polysilicon by means of new
thus enabling semiconductors to meet even smaller design rules and making chips even more powerful
WACKER applied for funding for this part of the overall project under the EU’s Important Projects of Common European Interest (IPCEI) program
the European Commission granted the necessary approval under state aid law on June 8
If the application is now approved by the German Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Protection
WACKER expects to receive funding of up to €46 million
“As the only European producer of ultrapure polysilicon
we are proud to be making an important contribution to strengthening Europe’s microelectronics supply chain with this project,” explained WACKER CEO Christian Hartel
this investment project was an important part of WACKER’s strategy to intensify its focus on polysilicon for applications that demand extremely high quality
“By expanding our surface-cleaning capacity
we are creating the necessary conditions for meeting the continued fast-growing demand of our semiconductor customers
we are also able to take the quality of our material to the next level so as to support the semiconductor sector’s latest technologies,” he added

WACKER POLYSILICON plans to double its sales with semiconductor-sector customers by 2030
It has earmarked investment of some €100 million for each of the next few years
Cleaning the surface of the polysilicon chunks used as a starting material for making semiconductor wafers is a complex and technically very demanding process
Strong acids are used in an etching process to remove the uppermost layer from the surface of the polysilicon
The polysilicon is then packaged under cleanroom conditions for shipment to customers
The use of state-of-the-art technologies and a high degree of automation means that the new facilities achieve a surface purity that already meets the ever-greater demands required for future generations of semiconductor wafers

KG is operating refineries and petrochemicals production
and offering logistics and production services for Group companies
The refinery site in Burghausen is part of OMV's strategic refinery network and operates alongside the two other sites in Schwechat near Vienna and Petrobrazi in Romania
Burghausen has an annual processing capacity of around 3.8 million metric tons of crude
It produces middle distillates such as kerosene
The focus of the refinery is on petrochemicals
whereby the crude is not used to produce gasoline but instead processed into petrochemicals like ethylene
sustainable technology developed by BASF and OMV: New ISO C4 plant in Burghausen/Germany starts productionMarch 22
With the commissioning of OMV´s new ISO C4 plant at the Burghausen site
the collaboration between the world’s largest chemical company
gas and chemical company headquartered in Vienna
The plant is based on a novel technology developed jointly by the two companies and has been producing high-purity isobutene since the end of 2020
The plant’s exceptional energy efficiency saves 20,000 metric tons of CO2 emissions per year
Up to 80% of the heating energy required for the new process can be met by thermal discharge from an existing associated facility thanks to a heat integration approach
The energy-efficient process for the production of isobutene
was developed in cooperation between BASF and OMV and a worldwide patent application was filed jointly by the two companies
As a global supplier of catalysts and licensor of petrochemicals technologies
BASF provides the catalyst and reaction concept that intrinsically fulfils all process requirements by OMV
The new unit for the production of high-purity isobutene
which does not need chemical conversion of isobutene
has been integrated into the existing metathesis plant at OMV’s Burghausen site
The isobutene produced here complements OMV’s existing product portfolio and will be used for manufacturing glues
grease and other chemicals such as antioxidants
The plant’s production capacity is 60,000 t/a
Investment volume of this largescale project including auxiliary facilities was EUR 64 mn
Recognizing its superior energy efficiency and contribution to CO2 reduction
Germany’s Federal Ministry of the Environment subsidized EUR 2.8 mn towards the ISO C4 plant as part of its environmental innovation program
Construction on the plant had started in the summer of 2019
the project was successfully realized with the implementation of a customized hygiene and safety concept
“The new ISO C4 plant illustrates OMV’s innovative strength
It marks another step in implementing our chemicals strategy and safeguards the Burghausen site’s long-term future
and the global patent are set to unlock new markets and customer segments for us
The project team has done an outstanding job
The first product deliveries have already been completed and they have met and even exceeded the expectations of everyone involved,” said Wolfram Krenn
OMV Senior Vice President Refining & Petchem Assets Europe
BASF serves also as a development partner for our customers
We are proud to support OMV in becoming even more successful
Having demonstrated the performance in OMV’s new ISO C4 plant
the new process will now be available to third parties,” said Detlef Ruff
OMV AG, Vienna, has commissioned a new unit for production of high-purity isobutene at subsidiary OMV Deutschland GMBH’s 3.8-million tonnes/year Burghausen refinery on the German-Austrian border in Bavaria, Germany (OGJ Online, July 15, 2019)
Equipped with a nameplate high-purity isobutene production capacity of 60,000-tpy
the new ISO C4 unit—which was integrated into the refinery’s existing metathesis plant responsible for energy-efficient manufacturing of propylene for the plastics industry—is the first global application of an OMV-BASF SE jointly developed novel technology for direct production of isobutene achieving up to 99.9% purity
up to 80% of heating energy required for the new energy-efficient plant is met by thermal discharge—or waste heat—from an existing associated installation
reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from the site by 20,000 tpy
In addition to codeveloping ISO C4 technology
BASF also supplied the catalyst and reaction system to fulfill all process requirements for the new unit
which produces high-quality isobutene without needing chemical conversion
As a result of ISO C4 unit’s enhanced energy efficiency and contribution to CO2 reduction
Germany’s Federal Ministry of the Environment—as part of its environmental innovation program to meet the country’s goals under the Paris Climate Change Agreement—funded €2.8 million of the project’s overall €64-million cost
Isobutene produced by the unit is used to manufacture glues
The operator already has completed first deliveries of isobutene from the ISO C4 unit
senior vice-president of OMV’s European refining and petrochemicals assets
“[The new ISO C4 unit] marks another step in implementing our chemicals strategy and safeguards the Burghausen site’s long-term future,” Krenn added
OMV said the downstream realignment aims to further strengthen the competitive position of its European refining assets to reflect the region’s increasing shift in demand for high-value products.
By 2025, OMV plans to invest up to €1 billion in three regional refineries—including the Burghausen refinery, as well as the 9.6-million tpy refinery in Schwechat, Austria, and 4.5-million tpy Petrobrazi refinery in the southeast region of Romania, near Ploiesti City—with more than 50% of this amount dedicated to petrochemical developments at the sites.

not much works in Wacker Chemie's Burghausen plant
That's why the owners equipped their water supply plants with the Simatic PCS 7 automation system during modernization of water plant No
The result is a uniform operating platform for supplying cooling water
"Media supply in the plant is of vital importance," said Hartmut Taubert
production engineer for E&IC and technical support at Wacker
describing the special role of cooling water at the Burghausen plant
A network of several water supply plants and cooling towers provides a reliable supply of water not only in the right quantity but also at a constant temperature
The plant benefits greatly from natural features in the region - the sources of the water supply are the Alz River (flows out of Lake Chiemsee)
the Salzach River (a tributary of the Inn River)
not just in terms of controlling the temperature
is influenced to some extent by these rivers
This redundant water concept supplied by nature provides ideal conditions
The owners created a similar redundancy in their water supply plants and cooling towers
but a closely linked network with plantwide data management ensures that cooling water is supplied to all plant operations
Automation concepts must satisfy the requirements for integration while remaining flexible
the water supply plants had already been upgraded from conventional electrical engineering
measurement and (automatic) control engineeringandcontrol-room-based technology to state-of-the-art operator control and monitoring systems available at that time from Siemens
Water Plant 5 was thoroughly modernized last year
Untreated water from the Alz Canal goes through a basic mechanical cleaning process with screens before other materials are removed from the water by sedimentation
The water is then pumped through gravel filters and fed into the cooling water network
Since it is neither polluted nor warmed strongly during use
The automation system of Water Plant 5 consists of a redundant server and multiple clients
The subsystems such as sand or gravel filters
screening units and sedimentation basins are connected to the automation system by the ET200M distributed I/O and Profibus
Thanks to the new backplane bus for the ET200M
module replacement during operation is possible
filtration units and pumps from the phase 1 expansion were integrated and the existing Simatic S7 controllers and WinCC visualization were migrated to Simatic PCS 7 V7.0
Even the pump monitoring and the motor control for the pumps at the Salzach pumping station are controlled by the new automation system
The pumps convey the water from the Salzach River to the sedimentation basins of the water supply plants over a 64-meter height difference
The performance and thus the flow rate of the pumps can be adjusted to precisely meet the current water needs
"We made a conscious decision to select a system that has proven popular and successful in the plant for years," said Taubert
open system,Taubert said he appreciates appreciates the easy changeover to the new system as well as the cooperation with Siemens and the system integrators in the region
The project was realized in only three months by system integrator Finze & Wagner (fiwa group)
one of Siemens' certified solution partners for the chemical industry
Finze & Wagner has worked for Wacker as engineering company and active provider of complete planning and design services
Reliable and easy operation is essential for a water supply plant
"Since the shift workers rotate among the various media supply operations in the central control room
harmonizing these systems simplifies operation," Taubert said
For the plant operators to easily familiarize themselves with the new system and the user interfaces
only details of the visualization were redesigned
The purpose of these small changes was to provide greater transparency and reliability during operation of the individual plants
which was achieved among other things by newly defined alarm limits
a similar color design and unified arrangement of buttons
Wacker also places a high value on monitoring
including visualization and documentation of process data
water quantities or pressures in the cooling water supply
This is the basic information for the efficient control of the water supply plant equipment
Trend graphs and overviews of measurement values for the plant operation can be accessed easily
This also applies to verifications required by the German Federal Water Act
In the course of the modernization and consolidation of supply operations
the old water supply control room was relocated and combined with two other control rooms for industrial gases and cooling into one central control room
All equipment involved in media supply across the plant is now operated and monitored from there
The Salzach and Mühlbach pumping stations are also monitored by video
so the operators can maintain an overview of the remote equipment."Time management was our biggest challenge when migrating Water Plant 5," said project manager Josef Ostermeier of Finze & Wagner in Burghausen
The first idea was to migrate during operation
but a planned shutdown in the colder months was used for the upgrade
Work began in October 2010 with the software engineering for the control replacement and the visualization of Water Plant 5
Three months were left to prepare the functional specifications
to change the complex hardware (which included dismantling an old
and for performing the so-called loop check of about 1,000 inputs and outputs
commissioning was completed on schedule before Christmas 2010
This meant that the conversion of the switching stations for water plants 4a and 4b
and the migration of the Salzach pumping station to Simatic PCS 7 process control system could start in January 2011 - exactly as planned
The factory acceptance test was passed in March 2011
and thus all modifications of the cooling water supply system were completed just in time for warmer weather
Reliable water management is essential for the successful operation of pumping stations and water supply plants
and for the reliable supply of cooling water to the chemical plant
That's why Wacker in Burghausen has combined the formerly separate control systems for supplying cooling water
cooling and industrial gases into a uniform operating platform with Simatic PCS 7
the increased demand for sufficient cooling and industrial water in the coming years can be met

Bayern won 4-3 on penalties after the match had finished 1-1 after 120 minutes
Captain Oliver Kahn was the hero for Bayern
stopping the final two Burghausen penalties after each side had converted three of their first five spot kicks
"It's a great feeling to stop two penalties," Kahn said
Wacker Burghausen coach Ingo Anderbruegge's team were on the verge of eliminating Bayern before Kahn stopped a Markus Palionis shot and then blocked a Thomas Mayer penalty
"We were one shot away from a sensation," Anderbruegge said
Burghausen stunned the 13-times Cup winners by scoring first against the run of play in the 61st minute
Thomas Neubert headed in a free-kick from David Solga corner to put Wacker ahead
Desperate to avoid an embarrassing start to the new season
Bayern threw everything into attack and Germany striker Miroslav Klose scored the equaliser in the 79th minute
outjumping two defenders to head a Franck Ribery corner in at the far post
who won the pre-season League Cup last week and have set out to win three more trophies to make up for the humilation of finishing fourth in the Bundesliga
had chances galore against the team from the town near the Austrian border
who spent 70 million euros ($96.80 million) on new talent in the close season
played well especially with indefatigable France midfielder Ribery proving a constant threat
But 18-year-old Burghausen keeper Manuel Riemann had an outstanding performance
