Texas/USA – Lummus Technology has announced that Indian Oil Corp. Ltd. (IOCL) has selected the Lummus/Versalis cumene technology for a 440 KTA unit in Paradip, India. The new cumene unit is part of a grassroots petrochemical and polymers expansion at Indian Oil’s complex in Paradip.

“Our cumene technology will offer Indian Oil lower energy costs, reliability, operational efficiency and exceptional product yield, which will help them optimize their plant economics and support their growth initiatives,” said Romain Lemoine, Chief Business Officer for Polymers and Petrochemicals, Lummus Technology. “We look forward to continue working with Indian Oil on another successful project and building on our long-time relationship.”

Lummus’ scope includes the technology license for the cumene technology, basic design engineering, proprietary catalyst, site services, advisory services, and training.
