Lummus Technology and IOCL Strengthen Their Partnership with New Cumene Unit in India

Lummus Technology recently announced that IndianOil Corp. Ltd. (IOCL) has chosen their cumene technology for a new unit in Paradip, India. This selection strengthens the relationship between Lummus and IOCL, marking their second recent cumene license in India. The new cumene unit is part of a petrochemical and polymers expansion project at IndianOil’s complex in Paradip.

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