Contract win
Rockwell Automation has won a $15 million engineering, procurement, construction and management contract from Vadxx Energy 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.
Terry Gebert, vice president and general manager at Rockwell Automation Global Solutions, said: “Our team is helping Vadxx reduce risk, shorten its time to market, and expand to other global regions.”
