Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL) has chosen Lummus Technology for their Cumene production.

Lummus Technology, a global provider of process technologies and value-driven energy solutions, recently announced that IndianOil Corp. Ltd. (IOCL) has selected their Lummus/Versalis cumene technology for a 440 KTA unit in Paradip, India. This new cumene unit is part of a petrochemical and polymers expansion at IndianOil’s complex in Paradip. The award strengthens the relationship between Lummus and IOCL, as this is the second recent cumene license in India for Lummus.

Romain Lemoine, Chief Business Officer for Polymers and Petrochemicals at Lummus Technology, stated that their cumene technology will offer IndianOil lower energy costs, reliability, operational efficiency, and exceptional product yield. This will help IndianOil optimize their plant economics and support their growth initiatives. Lummus looks forward to continuing to work with IndianOil on another successful project and further building on their long-time relationship.

Lummus’ scope for this project includes the technology license for the cumene technology, basic design engineering, proprietary catalyst, site services, advisory services, and training. IndianOil has licensed multiple Lummus technologies in the past, including naphtha cracker, INDMAX FCC, and polypropylene technologies at complexes across India.

Lummus and Versalis have been partnering to license cumene technologies since 2007. The cumene process is a liquid-phase alkylation technology that uses a proprietary zeolite catalyst and is known for its high cumene yield, ultra-high purity cumene product, and long catalyst run length.

Lummus Technology is a global leader in developing technology solutions for a more sustainable, low carbon future. They license process technologies in clean fuels, renewables, petrochemicals, polymers, gas processing, and provide lifecycle services, catalysts, proprietary equipment, and digitalization to customers worldwide.
