Reborn as a Rust Remover: Petroleum has Seen a Structural Change
Under the glow of petroleum lanterns ourGrandparents still wrote letters, railroaders used them for signal lights and sailors directed their comrades along the right route.
These times have long since past in Europe. However, since then petroleum has proven its value in many branches of industry, e.g.: as a solvent in the production of wood preservative,
in bitumen mixing plants and due to its conserving effect for degreasing metal. The chemical/technical industry uses petroleum as a rust remover and cleaning agent for engines, in metal recasting it serves as a cooling agent.
Please note: OMV only sells to large customers! Delivery from the Schwechat Refinery only occurs in tank trucks, no small packing units or barrels!
Residue Free Refinery: Petroleum Coke Makes it Possible
With the production of petroleum coke, even the heaviest of oil components are refined into a valuable product. For this reason, the Burghausen Refinery (Germany) is also commonly referred to as a "residue free refinery". The raw coke is converted to ultra-pure hydrocarbon in "Kalzinern". This in turn is perfectly suited to the production of anodes for the aluminum and steel industry as well as for graphite production.
Petroleum coke from Burghausen is a quality product, which due to its purity and very good mechanical qualities has worldwide demand. OMV petroleum coke deliveries travel half way around the globe to industrial customers as far as in South America.

We're Having Ourselves Put to the Test
For testing purposes during engine development or with exhaust emissions, fuels of a specific composition or with very tightly specified characteristics are often required.
In the Schwechat Refinery (Austria), OMV has a large variety of components at its disposal for reproducing fuels according to customer specifications and manufacturing these in small batches. Even the production of fuels of Indian or Chinese specification does not represent an insurmountable problem for our development team.
Sulfur: Important Basic Element for Agriculture and People
Modern agriculture is inconceivable without sulfuric acid; it is the basis of fertilizers. It is also needed for paper production.
The element, sulfur emerges during the desulfurization of oil products and natural gas. In Austria this occurs at the Schwechat Refinery at Vienna and in the Aderklaa Natural Gas Station; in Germany at the Burghausen Refinery. Due to the fact that sulfur first liquefies at approx. 140 ºC, it can only be transported in special tank trucks and tank cars, which retain a constant temperature during the entire journey.
OMV only supplies sulfur in liquid form to large customers in the industry.

It is already performing its first laps at car shows, the hydrogen powered vehicle. Hydrogen is one of the most important alternative vehicle and heating fuels of the future and is also necessary for the production of sulfur-free fuels.
Hydrogen is created during production processes in the ethylene and platforming plant at Schwechat Refinery and since 2003 also in the new hydrogen plant. Hydrogen is also used in many different ways in industry. It is processed in purifiers prior to sale.
OMV sells hydrogen exclusively to business customers in industry.
