TLDR:
– Lummus Technology awarded contract for integrated PDH-PP complex in Turkey
– Bayegan to license CATOFIN and Novolen technologies from Lummus
Summary:
Lummus Technology has been awarded a contract by Bayegan to provide their CATOFIN technology for a new propane dehydrogenation (PDH) unit and Novolen technology for a polypropylene (PP) unit in Turkey. This will be Lummus’ first integrated PDH and PP complex in the country. The partnership aims to meet the market demand for high-quality polymers in Turkey while reducing the country’s dependence on polymer imports. The CATOFIN technology is known for its high production output and cost efficiency, while the Novolen technology offers a sustainable route for polymers production with lower capital and operating expenses. Once completed, the PDH unit will supply propylene feedstock to the PP unit, producing semifinished products for various consumer and industrial applications. Overall, this project highlights the reliability, robustness, environmental performance, and flexibility that Lummus’ technologies bring to the polymers industry.
