Introduction True circularity in plastics recycling means turning waste into raw materials that are as good as new ready for repeated use in polymer production, rather than being downcycled or disposed of. Sulzer’s MaxFlux™ hydrotreating technology makes this leap possible. By flexibly and efficiently upgrading mixed plastic pyrolysis oils (PPO), MaxFlux™ enables the production of high-grade naphtha, completing the loop for plastics-to-plastics recycling. How MaxFlux™ drives

Introduction Plastic pyrolysis oils (PPO) are a promising route to close the loop on plastic waste, but their complex mix of contaminants makes purification a serious technical hurdle for refineries and petrochemical plants. Traditional trickle-bed hydrotreaters, long used in refining, struggle to efficiently upgrade these oils. That’s where Sulzer’s MaxFlux™ hydrotreating technology steps in offering a new standard in efficiency, robustness, and product quality. MaxFlux™ vs.

Introduction Plastics are woven into the fabric of modern life, but plastic waste is one of the planet’s most pressing environmental challenges. As governments, consumers, and industries push for true circularity, advanced solutions for transforming waste plastics into valuable resources are more critical than ever. Sulzer’s MaxFlux™ hydrotreating technology stands at the forefront of this movement, enabling the efficient and economical upgrading of plastic pyrolysis oils (PP
