Rockwell wins $15M process order
04 February 2014
Rockwell Automation has won a $15 million engineering, procurement, construction and management contract from Vadxx Energy LLC for its first commercial-scale, plastic waste-to-synthetic crude energy facility in Akron, Ohio.
The new plant will transform end-of-life plastics into higher value energy products, recycling nearly 60 tons of waste daily, diverting it from landfill disposal. The solution includes the PlantPAx Process Automation System suite, utilising Rockwell Automation’s multi-discipline control platform to deliver an integrated smart plant for Vadxx. Liberation Capital, a global private equity firm, signed an agreement with Vadxx to fund the first unit and additional commercial units.
