Haldia Selects Multiple Lummus Technologies for India’s First On-Purpose Propylene Plant and Largest Cumene and Phenol Plant
HOUSTON, November 1, 2023 – Lummus Technology, a global provider of process technologies and value-driven energy solutions, announced Haldia Petrochemicals Ltd. (HPL) will license its olefins conversion technology (OCT) and the Lummus/Versalis cumene and phenol technologies for a new plant in West Bengal, India.
Once HPL’s plant is complete, it will be India’s largest cumene and phenol plant and the nation’s first on-purpose propylene plant. The milestone will also help HPL become India’s first integrated operator in the phenolics value chain and a leader in the niche specialty chemicals segment. The integration of OCT will strengthen India’s petrochemical market by allowing production of more phenol products locally rather than by importing them.
