Lummus Technology, a global provider of process technologies and value-driven energy solutions, has been awarded a contract by Zhangzhou CHIMEI Chemical Co. Ltd. for digitalisation services at the company's petrochemical facility in Gulei, Fujian Province, China.
“This award builds on the previous technology license Lummus provided to CHIMEI and highlights the digital capabilities we can offer to our long-standing customers,” said Leon de Bruyn, President and Chief Executive Officer of Lummus Technology. “We provide CHIMEI with best-in-class process technology, plus digital tools and services to optimise the plant for peak performance throughout its life cycle.”
Lummus will provide digitalisation services including training and process simulation to CHIMEI for its diphenyl carbonate (DPC) unit. In 2021, the company was awarded a contract for the license and basic engineering for the same unit. Once the unit is complete, it will be capable of producing 156 000 tpy of DPC.
Lummus’ O3STM offering is part of a broad array of training and digitalisation services the company provides to licensees to meet specific and individual requirements. These services include hands-on opportunities to simulate the operation of the plant, which enables operational teams to run the plant in a safer, more productive way, leading to better performance, higher efficiency, and less waste.
