- Description
-
Two years after OMV was established in 1956, the groundwork for the expansion of the Schwechat Refinery was laid, and in 1960 the new plant became operative.
Today the Schwechat Refinery is one of the largest and most modern inland refineries in Europe (Fig. 1) and is where OMV distills and refines crude oil and semi-finished products, converting them into high-quality mineral oil products and petrochemical raw materials.
9.6 million tons of crude oil can be processed annually in the high-tech plants in Schwechat. The Schwechat Refinery is supplied by the Adria-Wien-Pipeline (AWP), a branch connection of the Transalpine Oil Pipeline (TAL), and one of the most important pipelines transporting crude oil from the Mediterranean to Northern Europe.
