Talke completes construction of Slovnaft logistics facility in Bratislava

Talke just completed the construction of a LDPE logistics facility for the Slovakian Slovnaft petrochemicals group

The Talke group has mechanically completed on schedule one of its largest new build projects in Europe so far. The logistics complex for the Slovakian Slovnaft group is part of the petrochemical group’s expansion of the LDPE-4 production capacity at its headquarters in Bratislava.

A silo farm with 28 silos is the heart of the logistics plant for the interim storage and handling of polyethylene granules. The new logistics complex is fed directly from the production facility and is designed to handle up to 220,000 metric tonnes of polyethylene granules per year. The new facility on the premises of the petrochemical division of the Bratislava-based Slovnaft group includes warehousing and packaging capacities, offices, traffic routes and manoeuvring areas. Two bagging lines, three loading stations for bulk cargo and the product transfer lines leading from the degasification silos to the storage silos allow for safe and smooth logistics of the granules.

Slovnaft has invested more than EUR 300 million into the manufacturing of basic plastics. Much of the budget was earmarked for construction of the new LDPE line, which exceeded EUR 200 million. Furthermore an ethylene unit was overhauled, from which raw materials will be produced for manufacturing polyethylene and polypropylene. The start-up of the new LDPE 4-unit is scheduled for this year.

The Talke group is a leading international logistics service provider for the chemical and petrochemical industry. Founded in 1947, the company’s core capabilities include the transport, storage and handling of liquid and solid hazardous or non dangerous materials. In addition, the logistics expert offers consulting, planning and project management for the optimisation of logistics structures and processes as well as the construction of respective logistics facilities.
