摘要

The results of the Environmental Compliance Program started in Polski Koncern Naftowy ORLEN SA in 1997 have been described. Realization of the Program allowed to reduce SO_2 annual emission from 38 kt to 16 kt, to decrease wastewater volume from 15·10~6 m~3/y to 6.6·10~6 m~3/y and to decrease the phenol content in wastewater from 8.2 to 3.8 kg/day. By-products and waste products created in polyolefins units have been described, especially atactic polypropylene and other kinds of wastes from various points of the PP and PE-LD plants. As a results of application of a new generation catalysts for propylene polymerization, atactic PP amount decreased from about 10 to 1.5 wt.%. Method of its application as a component of bitumens has been developed.
