A leading technology company in the waste-to-energy market, Cynar, has awarded Rockwell Automation an $11 million contract to design and build a new end-of-life plastic to fuel conversion plant for a customer in the United Kingdom.
Cynar has developed a technology that converts end-of-life plastics into fuel. “Our technology represents a unique and profitable way to decrease the amount of end-of-life plastics that are disposed in landfills and incinerators,” says Michael Murray, CEO and chairman of Cynar. “Rockwell Automation strengthens our technology by providing complete design, engineering life cycle maintenance and local support. We will have a process technology solution that will enable us rapidly to deploy our technology globally.”
“This agreement with Cynar demonstrates Rockwell Automation’s ability to deliver scalable, complex solutions on a global level. We are pleased to work with Cynar in an industry that is making the world more sustainable,” says Hedwig Maes, president of Rockwell Automation’s Europe, Middle East and Africa region.
“This win is significant for us in the waste-to-energy market,” notes Terry Gebert, vice president and general manager, Rockwell Automation Global Solutions. “It includes the design and build of process skids, automation architecture, software, power control, as well as engineering and start-up services in one fully integrated solution, using the Rockwell Automation PlantPAx process automation system. Our process knowledge, project management, domain expertise and global resources will help Cynar implement and operate a profitable, sustainable facility.”
