Kremsmueller has the conversion work on the flue gas cleaning system SNOx OMV refinery in Schwechat successfully completed. The work related to the condensation part of the SNOx system and was divided into three sub-areas.

On the one hand, the glass tube bundles, on which sulfuric acid condenses and drips off in a controlled manner, were serviced and cleaned. The 12 bundles, each weighing 8 tons, with a total of 10,000 glass tubes were lifted out for this purpose, thoroughly cleaned on site and then overhauled at the Kremsmueller site in Schwechat.
Another part of the project included the implementation of a new design for the drain pans. Two new tanks lined with foil replaced the existing quartz stone lining. A monitoring system can optimally monitor the newly installed furnaces.
The third part of the conversion was the replacement of the old clean gas ducts made of steel with new ducts made of glass fiber reinforced plastic from inwa AG.
Kremsmueller was already involved in the construction of the plant in 2006. The aim of the new conversion was to further increase the availability and reliability of the system.
Security in the SNOx project
Safety is the top priority for the client OMV. The various activities such as lifting work, work in closed rooms, in containers and in acid areas require precise and safety-conscious work.
At Kremsmueller, too, safety has always had top priority. A safety expert ensured that the work was carried out safely throughout the entire project. With success, throughout the entire duration of the project there was not a single incident among the Kremsmueller employees. Up to 40 specialists from the company were working on the SNOx project at the same time and, where necessary, carried out their work in special acid protection suits.
OMV already recognized Kremsmueller’s achievements in the area of safety in 2021 with the “safety leader” award.
