- Kent will provide FEED services for advanced recycling units at seven sites.
- The Baytown facility, designed by Kent, started operations in December 2022.
- The project aims to recycle difficult-to-recycle plastic waste into raw materials.
- ExxonMobil's advanced recycling technology supports circular economy goals.
Project Overview
Kent has been awarded the Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) contract for ExxonMobil’s advanced recycling facilities in Rotterdam (The Netherlands) and Antwerp (Belgium). This project is part of a broader initiative assessing similar facilities in Baytown (Texas), Beaumont (Texas), Baton Rouge (Louisiana), Joliet (Illinois), and Sarnia (Canada).
Previous Success
Kent previously provided Engineering, Procurement, and Construction Management services for ExxonMobil’s Baytown advanced recycling facility, which began commercial operations in December 2022. This facility is now one of the largest advanced recycling operations in North America.
Global Expansion
The new FEED services will focus on potential new units across seven sites, leveraging the success of a trial unit in Baytown designed by Kent during 2021 and 2022. The aim is to expand advanced recycling capabilities globally, enhancing the efficiency of recycling processes.
Technological Impact
ExxonMobil’s advanced recycling technology converts difficult-to-recycle plastic waste into raw materials for new plastic and other valuable products. This technology helps divert plastic waste from landfills or incineration, supporting customer goals for circularity and contributing to a more sustainable future.
