ABB announced that the company has installed their market-renowned distributed control system (DCS) - ABB Ability System 800xA, at the new Olefin III complex, located in Plock, Poland.
Integrating ABB Ability System 800xA control architecture across the entire mega development, PKN Orlen will be able to constantly monitor and analyze plant productivity, maximizing asset performance, managing power consumption, ensuring product quality, and optimizing process efficiency in real time.

Harnessing this continuous stream of data, the company, in line with their objective to achieve a 30 percent reduction in CO2 emissions per ton of product, will be able to make more accurate, informed decisions, in order to drive efficient use of energy. This includes maintaining tight controls over raw material consumption, plant energy levels and waste by-products.
“As part of our sustainability strategy, ABB is committed to supporting our customers in reducing their annual CO2 emissions, by more than 100 megatons by 2030. Combining our expertise in the market alongside our leading DCS technology for complex plant operations we can help PKN Orlen to maximize its return on investment,” said Brandon Spencer, the President of ABB Energy Industries.
multiple systems to ensure optimum safety levels
ABB will also deliver several systems aimed at ensuring the complex operates at optimum safety levels
Alongside the distributed control system (DCS), ABB will also deliver several systems aimed at ensuring the complex operates at optimum safety levels, including a Burner Management System (BMS), an Emergency Shutdown System (ESD) and High-Integrity Pressure Protection System (HIPPS). These will be complemented by an industrial cyber security solution focused upon mitigating cyber threats towards the complex.
Olefins form the base compound made up of hydrogen and carbon, to produce a mix of everyday products, including cleaning, hygiene, and medical products, including the synthetic fibers used in protective clothing and masks (PPE).
The global market was valued at US$ 232.45 Billion in 2020, and it is expected grow at an annual rate of 4.5 percent reaching a value of US$ 329.30 Billion by 2028. This exponential growth is driven by consumer demand and increased use across the global plastics industry.
Adaptive Execution, project methodology
The project is scheduled for completion in 2024 with operations due to start in 2025. To support this timeline ABB will apply its unique project methodology - Adaptive Execution. Adaptive Execution harnesses virtual engineering and digitalization to deliver a streamlined, standardized and agile experience for all stakeholders.
Through this methodology, ABB can lower delivery time by up to 30 percent, start-up hours by up to 40 percent and overall automation related capital costs by up to 40 percent. ABB is global technology company that energizes the transformation of society and industry to achieve a more productive, sustainable future.
Pushing the boundary of technology to drive performance
By connecting software to its electrification, robotics, automation and motion portfolio, ABB pushes the boundaries of technology to drive performance to new levels.
With a history of excellence stretching back more than 130 years, ABB’s success is driven by about 105,000 talented employees in over 100 countries.
