• Apart from oil processing, which takes place at both plants, BP Refining & Petrochemicals GmbH operates two crackers for the production of ethylene and propylene at Scholven. These feedstocks are used by companies such as Sabic Polyolefine GmbH for producing polyolefins at Scholven. (Source)
• The complex also has two olefins plants - Olefin-3 and Olefin-4. (Source)
• Located Gelsenkirchen, Germany, the No. 3 cracker has ethylene capacity of 550,000 mt/year and propylene capacity of 335,000 mt/year. (Source)
• HOUSTON, Apr. 10 -- Ruhr Oel GMBH hired Linde AG for the turnkey installation of five cracking furnaces for an ethylene plant at the company's Gelsenkirchen-Scholven site in Germany. The new furances will replace 17 furnaces that no longer comply with environmental requirements for nitric oxide, dust emissions, and energy efficiency. The new furnaces, each with capacity of 100,000 tonnes/year of ethylene, will be able toprocess heavy hydrocarbons to naphtha and gaseous feedstocks. In September 2007, during a routine plant shutdown, the old furnaces will be dismantled and the new ones installed.
