HOUSTON, Nov. 1, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Lummus Technology, a global provider of process technologies and value-driven energy solutions, announced Haldia Petrochemicals Ltd. (HPL) will license its olefins conversion technology (OCT) and the Lummus/Versalis cumene and phenol technologies for a new plant in West Bengal, India.
Key Points:
- Once HPL's plant is complete, it will be India's largest cumene and phenol plant and the nation's first on-purpose propylene plant.
- The integration of OCT will strengthen India's petrochemical market by allowing production of more phenol products locally rather than by importing them.
- Lummus' scope includes the technology license for OCT and cumene and phenol technologies, basic design engineering, site services, advisory services and training.
- In addition, Lummus and Versalis have partnered to license phenol and cumene technologies since 2007.
