Lummus Technology is developing and licensing process technologies for the petrochemical, refining, and gas processing industries, with proprietary technologies. They have deployed a wide range of solutions for different industries including clean fuels, renewables, petrochemicals, polymers, gas processing, lifecycle services, catalysts, proprietary equipment, and digitalization.

The company offers different solutions for industrial heat space, including fired heaters, heat exchangers, and DeNOx units.

Fired heaters

• For refining and petrochemical industry.

• They can be designed to operate under natural, forced, induced, or balanced draft conditions.

• With or without an air preheater system.

• Some heaters have also been integrated with gas turbine exhaust systems to improve plant energy balance.

Heat exchangers

• Shell-and-tube heat exchangers.

DeNOx units

• Selective catalytic reduction (SCR) units, which can be incorporated in a new design, retrofitted in an existing heater or installed during a heater revamp.

• Lummus Technology license their technology for gasification, refining, and natural gas processing.

• Lummus Technology offers high-performance catalysts and adsorbents to optimize refining, petrochemical, and natural gas processes., with proprietary designs, including heaters, exchangers, and reactors, ensure efficient production.

PROCESS TECHNOLOGIES

Petrochemical technology portfolio

Lummus Technology has developed a diverse portfolio of chemical technologies along product lines such as styrenics, phenolics, light hydrocarbons (C3-C5 dehydrogenation, butadiene extraction), among others.

Ethylene Production

• They license their ethylene technology around the world.
