The 2017 turnaround will take place in parallel with the turnaround at the neighbouring Borealis plant. Schwechat Refinery supplies the monomers for Borealis’ plastics manufacturing. The coordinated inspections at Borealis and OMV are required for the efficient production planning of both parties in light of the integration of their operations.
The turnaround will not only involve maintenance work and safety inspections, but will also see a range of projects implemented in various operation areas. In the course of the turnaround OMV is investing around EUR 110 million in the Schwechat site. OMV is thereby making a key contribution to operational safety and with it the long-term security of the site.
