The project is part of BPCL’s Bina Petrochemicals and Refinery Expansion Plan. Once complete, the expansion will produce polymer-grade ethylene and propylene to supply downstream polymer production units, with a capacity of 1 200 000 tpy of ethylene and 550 000 tpy of propylene.
“This award integrates Lummus’ industry-leading light olefins technology and the water treatment technology we recently added to our portfolio,” said Leon de Bruyn, President and CEO, Lummus Technology. “The comprehensive and integrated offering will ensure sustainable water treatment solutions, drive reliable and efficient light olefin production, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. These benefits align with BPCL’s goal of strengthening its position in India’s petrochemical market.”
BPCL will license Lummus’ ethylene, low pressure recovery, total C4 hydrogenation, pygas hydrogenation and wet air oxidation technologies, plus Sulzer’s extractive distillation technology. Lummus’ scope also includes heater detail engineering, advisory engineering services and training.
