Borealis Completes Stenungsund Cracker Furnace Revamp, Elevating Plant to Higher Energy Efficiency and Process Safety Standards

Borealis Completes Stenungsund Cracker Furnace Revamp, Elevating Plant to Higher Energy Efficiency and Process Safety Standards

  • Project marked by excellent safety performance throughout construction and start-up phases
  • Reliable Stenungsund output helps power growth in Wire & Cable industry
  • Annual CO2 emissions reduced by approximately 24,000 tons

Borealis announces the successful completion of a major upgrade to its steam cracker operations in Stenungsund, Sweden. The seven-year construction project is a resounding success with respect to health, safety, and the environment (HSE), with no major accidents and no process safety incidents whatsoever. This capital investment ensures that the Stenungsund cracker – already one of the most feedstock-flexible in all of Europe – can operate even more reliably, and with greater energy efficiency. As a key supplier of ethylene and propylene to the Stenungsund Chemical Cluster, the OMV Group, and the Borealis Group’s international customers, its enhanced reliability is especially needed to support the rapidly growing wire and cable industry.

The Stenungsund steam cracker, which has a nameplate capacity of 625 kilotons per year, is a facility that thermally “cracks” feedstock – such as ethane, naphtha, propane, butane, and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) – into smaller molecules. Furnaces are the “heart” of every cracker. In the Stenungsund revamp, four existing furnaces have now been upgraded and revamped to modern process safety, reliability, and thermal efficiency standards. Three other furnaces will augment their output, while two aging furnaces will be decommissioned and shut down completely at the end of the year. Because scheduled cracker productions continued nearly uninterrupted throughout the construction period, considerable operational restrictions prevailed, for example limited room to maneuver for cranes and other heavy lifting equipment. Each furnace had to be removed, demolished, then rebuilt separately, one after the other.

Despite pandemic-related complications, the Stenungsund project is distinguished by its excellent safety record, with no major accidents (personal safety) and no incidents (process safety) due to heightened safety protocols.

“Our very highest priority in the Stenungsund furnace revamp was to achieve a stellar safety record while carrying out a project of this huge size and scope, and we have delivered on this ambition,” says Wolfram Krenn, Borealis Executive Vice President Operations and Base Chemicals. “Our upgraded facility is moving us closer to realizing our broader Energy & Climate goals: thanks to the overhaul, the yearly CO2 emission reductions add up to approximately 24,000 tons which is the equivalent to the amount emitted on average by 6,000 European households each year. At Borealis, we are re-inventing the essential building blocks of plastics for more sustainable living.”

„Winding” Houses Instead of Building

„Winding” Houses Instead of Building

  • Unique combination of aesthetics, strength and sustainability
  • Significantly lower material use than in steel and concrete construction
  • Substantial reduction in CO2 emissions
  • Natural fibers such as flax are also suitable
  • Polyurethane resin from Covestro provides strength and durability

The Texoversum at Reutlingen University is a reference object for a new technology that could revolutionize the construction industry: The components of its façade were wound from fibers and fixed with Covestro’s Desmocomp system. FibR GmbH

With the Texoversum, Reutlingen University has put into operation a training and innovation center for the textile industry that is unique in Europe. The almost 2,000 square meter textile-like façade of the new building also causes a sensation architecturally: It charmingly combines the innovative power of this industry with the 160-year tradition of Reutlingen as a textile location. The highlight: The components were wound from fibers that are fixed with a special plastic resin.

The façade of the Texoversum is just one example of a brand new technology that could completely revolutionize the construction industry. The sophisticated structure was designed on the computer and is based on carbon fibers wound by robots. Similar to networks in nature, for example in spider webs, beetle wings or palm leaves, the fiber structures are also very lightweight, but at the same time highly resilient, and require very little material. This not only saves resources, but also facilitates transport and assembly of the components.

The sophisticated construction was designed on the computer and is based on carbon fibers wound by robots. FibR GmbH

The co-inventor of the innovative technology is architect Prof. Moritz Dörstelmann, whose company FibR also realized the façade of the Texoversum: “In contrast to conventional steel and concrete structures, we are able to get by with a minimum of material, because the robots only process as many fibers as are needed for the strength of the respective structure. As a result, we also save large amounts of CO₂ emissions.” Dörstelmann also sees advantageous applications for the technology in roof structures, supports and, not least, interior fittings.

The necessary strength and durability of the composite is provided by Covestro’s aliphatic polyurethane resin system Desmocomp, in which the fibers are embedded as if in a matrix. “The resin is highly resistant to weathering and the sun’s high-energy UV radiation, making it very suitable for outdoor applications,” explains Pejman Norastehfar, architect and specialist for construction applications in Covestro’s Coatings and Adhesives segment. “Other plus points in the construction sector are its excellent chemical and flame resistance.”

For the fiber technology, FibR takes nature as a model: Similar to networks in nature, for example in spider webs, the fiber structures are also very lightweight, but at the same time highly resilient, and manage with a very low material input. FibR GmbH

In the Texoversum, the spun façade performs several important functions at once: it gives the building a unique look and stabilizes the surrounding balconies. It also serves as a railing and provides the necessary shade for the glass front behind it.

The building provides approximately 3,000 square meters of space for workshops, laboratories, a textile collection, think tank space and classrooms. The costs for the construction of the Texoversum amounting to 18.5 million euros were borne by the employers’ association Südwesttextil, whose members include FibR GmbH in Kernen, east of Stuttgart.

Parts2clean 2023: Parts Cleaning – Multiple Tasks Along the Process Chain

Parts2clean 2023: Parts Cleaning – Multiple Tasks Along the Process Chain

As a key component of manufacturing processes, parts cleaning ensures the quality and function of increasingly compact and complex products. The required technical cleanliness however cannot be generated with just a single cleaning step at the end of the process chain – instead, it needs to be performed along the entire chain. The exhibitors at parts2clean will provide information about the different factors that need to be taken into account, at the same time presenting solutions for adapted, efficient and sustainable preliminary, intermediate and final cleaning. The supporting program at the 20th edition of the leading international trade fair for industrial parts and surface cleaning, running from 26 to 28 September 2023 at the Stuttgart Exhibition Center in Germany, will also impart substantial know-how and expertise in the field.

Components for innovative products are becoming increasingly compact and complex in virtually all sectors of industry. At the same time, the demands on the performance and reliability of products are increasing. This results in a significantly higher sensitivity of the parts to contamination and machining residues from the production process. The particulate and film cleanliness required for high quality and the safe functioning of the products can thus not be achieved with just a single cleaning step at the end of production. Rather, it is necessary to evaluate each processing step, for example milling, forming, coating or assembling, with regard to its influence on the technical cleanliness of the entire product. “The tasks in parts and surface cleaning have not only become more diverse in recent years, but also more demanding,” reports Christoph Nowak, Project Director at Deutsche Messe AG. “For the changed spectrum of tasks, exhibitors at parts2clean will present future-oriented solutions optimally adapted to the respective production step, component geometry and material, as well as  contamination and cleanliness requirements. And that’s regardless of whether it’s a matter of preliminary or intermediate cleaning or final cleaning.” This approach ensures that the required results are achieved in a stable, efficient and sustainable manner, even in high-purity cleaning applications, such as those found in the semiconductor supply industry, medical technology, sensor technology, electronics, aviation and aerospace, plus a range of electromobility areas.

 

Everything for process-secure, efficient and sustainable cleaning

Parts2clean features every segment of industrial parts and surface cleaning, including all the relevant suppliers. The range of products and services includes equipment, systems, media and process technologies as well as containers and workpiece carriers for fluid-based processes and energy-efficient drying as well as solutions for water treatment and bath care. This also includes options for optimizing existing processes and designing them to be more energy-efficient. Technologies for dry cleaning will also be presented, for example CO2 snow blasting, plasma, laser, vibration, compressed air and vacuum bakeout processes. Other areas include the control, monitoring and inspection of cleaning, rinsing and drying processes, as well as the achieved cleanliness. Innovative solutions will also be presented in the segments of cleaning automation, including parts handling, and for the digitization and intelligent integration of cleaning processes in connected production environments. Topics such as a cleanliness-compatible manufacturing environment, for example clean rooms, cleaning services and technical literature complete the range of offerings. “On the one hand, parts2clean offers cleaning technology users from product processing and the full range of manufacturing sectors a comprehensive overview of development trends, technologies, procedures and processes that is unparalleled at any other trade fair in the world,” reports Nowak. “On the other hand, the various products and services can be directly compared and solutions for individual tasks can be specifically discussed with the various suppliers.”

Supporting program for knowledge transfer and know-how generation

In addition to the exhibitor presentations, the sophisticated supporting program offers visitors a wide range of information, impetus and valuable knowledge for designing cleaning processes that are future-proof and sustainable, adapted to the respective requirements. This includes the special show “Technical Cleanliness”, organized jointly with the CEC (Cleaning Excellence Center).

 

In addition to presentations on current trends and developments and an exciting program of lectures, the German Industrial Parts Cleaning Association (FiT) will be presenting a highlight at its special show area: the presentation of the 2nd FiT2clean Award. This annual award, which is endowed with 10,000 euros, honors outstanding achievements and innovative solutions in industrial parts cleaning.

The three-day integrated Expert Forum at parts2clean, whose technical coordination is being handled by the Fraunhofer Cleaning Business Unit and the FiT, is one of the most popular sources of knowledge internationally. The simultaneously translated presentations (English <> German) delivered by high-ranking experts from industry and associations, as well as from science and research, offer a wealth of information on basic principles, solutions for optimizing cleaning processes, various developments and trends in industrial parts and surface cleaning, as well as on benchmark applications in selected industries and innovations in cleaning technology.

Honeywell’s Quarterly Environmental Sustainability Index Reveals Vast Majority of Global Companies Surveyed are Increasing Investment in Sustainability

Honeywell’s Quarterly Environmental Sustainability Index Reveals Vast Majority of Global Companies Surveyed are Increasing Investment in Sustainability

  • 86% of all responding organizations plan to increase their sustainability investments
  • Budget increases planned in four key areas: energy evolution and efficiency, emissions reduction, pollution prevention, and circularity/recycling
  • Approximately 80% of global Manufacturing and Energy companies say sustainability is their most important initiative for next six months

A sizable majority of global companies surveyed are planning increased investments in support of their sustainability targets, despite economic uncertainty, according to the 3Q 2023 Environmental Sustainability Index, released by Honeywell (NASDAQ: HON) today in partnership with The Futurum Group.

The fourth edition of the quarterly index indicates that sustainability investment is growing and will continue to grow, thanks in part to the political and regulatory environment:

  • 86% of the 751 global companies surveyed indicated that they plan to increase their sustainability budgets
  • 7 in 10 surveyed companies said the political and regulatory environment has had a positive impact on their sustainability initiatives in the past 12 months
  • 74% of respondents said they were optimistic about attaining sustainability goals, particularly with respect to 2030 energy goals – a strong number but 3 percentage points lower than the last index
  • Budget increases are slated across four sustainability categories: energy evolution and efficiency, emissions reduction, pollution prevention, and circularity/recycling
  • Improving energy evolution and efficiency is the top sustainability commitment across all geographies, with 87% of respondents citing it as a priority
  • Some 25% and 20% of organizations in Latin America and Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA), respectively, plan to boost their investment in energy evolution and efficiency by at least 50% in the coming 12 months – outpacing the budgetary commitments being made in North America and the Asia-Pacific

For Manufacturing and Energy companies, sustainability has become their top priority, with roughly 8 in 10 organizations in both sectors citing sustainability goals as their most important initiative for the coming six months. These companies indicate that sustainability is far outpacing their other corporate priorities, including financial performance, market growth and workforce development.

“The latest Environmental Sustainability Index confirms that large global companies are continuing to stay on pace and invest in technology and staff to achieve their environmental sustainability goals,” said Evan van Hook, chief sustainability officer at Honeywell. “Sustainability is top of mind for leadership, and they are activating top-level staff to increase involvement and traction toward goals. At Honeywell, we are well on our way to delivering on our commitment to reaching our 2035 goals, and we are helping our customers to do the same with our ready-now solutions.”

This latest edition of the survey also found that reporting on sustainability is strong, with 93% of survey companies having a reporting process in place. 82% of these organizations are optimistic that their reporting methods will meet disclosure requirements that may emerge in the next year. Managing the reporting process is a bit trickier, however, as only 38% say they have a centralized person on staff to track sustainability efforts.

“The fourth release of Honeywell’s Environmental Sustainability Index provides new insight into how organizations are reporting and tracking their previously set commitments toward sustainability,” said Daniel Newman, principal analyst and founding partner of The Futurum Group. “This quarter, we are seeing increases in investment and transparency of efforts along with a balanced approach to technology versus process when it comes to reaching goals. As we move into 2024, we look forward to sharing data about our year-over-year comparison.”
