New bitumen plant in Plock
Today, ORLEN Asfalt launched a new plant for the production of thermoplastic rubber modified bitumen offered under the name of ORBITON. The daily capacity of the facility totals 500 tonnes and, together with the adjacent tank farm, cost PLN 40m .
The new plant, which operates a unique technology developed by the R & D unit of ORLEN Asfalt, is one of the largest of its kind in Europe. The bitumens offered by the company already meet the most stringent requirements. However, steps are being undertaken to make the offering comply with the latest PN-EB 14023 norm. ORLEN Asfalt is currently conducting laboratory work prior to commencing production.
The plant was launched in response to the continuously growing demand in the Polish market, which was boosted after Poland joined the EU. In addition to its Plock based production, ORLEN Asfalt also produces ORBITON at its Warsaw and Trzebinia facilities.
