Abstract
On July 20, 2006, Baroness Clyvia Von Oppenheim became an official patron of the pilot plant built and operated by Clyvia Technology GmbH. As part of the ceremony, in which Hedwig Klein, the mayor of Wegberg, also participated, the pilot plant's reactor was officially christened "Clyvia" by Baroness von Oppenheim with a bottle of champagne. An official opening ceremony for the pilot plant had previously been held on June 7, 2006. In addition to being named after the Baroness, the Clyvia name is an acronym for "CataLYtischen Verdampfung Industrieller Abfallstoffe," which, in English, translates to "catalytic vaporization of industrial waste."
