Visiting Lyondell Basell Moerdijk site and PB-1 plant

After a short introduction by René Scholtes – Site Manager to the Moerdijk site and the two plants that are located on this site, the PBPSA members enjoyed a tour through the PB-1 plant guided by Hans Noorlag – Operation Manager and Menno Kanters - Technology Manager.

It’s been an impressive visit giving more insights in the operations of a chemical plant thanks to the excellent explanations given by the Moerdijk staff. The PBPSA association would like to thank all who have made this visit possible.
