McDermott Announces Chevron Lummus Global Technology Award by Southeast Asian Refiner

by with No Comment News

McDermott’s joint venture with Chevron, has been awarded a sizeable contract by a Southeast Asian refiner for the license, engineering and supply of proprietary catalyst and equipment for its Lubricant Base Oil Group II Project to be built in Southeast Asia.

The new 5,200-barrels-per-day unit will employ CLG’s state-of-the-art lubricant base oil technologies for premium lube base oil production. Currently, the refinery produces only Group I lube base oils, and this project will allow them to meet growing regional demand for premium lubricant base oils.

“The lubricant base oil technology that we license through Chevron Lummus Global has helped our customers produce greater yields and better quality base oils, which was an important factor in the selection process of this project,” said Leon de Bruyn, Senior Vice President of McDermott’s Lummus Technology business. “With the recent award of several new projects in the region, CLG cherishes solid, long-standing relationships with refiners in the Asia Pacific region.”

This contract was signed in the first quarter of 2020.

McDermott Awarded Technology Contract by Naftna Industrija Srbije in Serbia

by with One Comment News

McDermott’s Lummus Technology will upgrade existing unit for production of higher value products utilizing Indmax FCC and CDEtbe technologies
– State-of-the-art Indmax FCC Technology, licensed by McDermott’s Lummus Technology and jointly developed with Indian Oil Corporation (IOCL), being implemented.

It has been awarded a sizeable technology contract by Naftna Industrija Srbije (NIS) for the modernization of its existing Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) unit to be implemented at their refinery in Pancevo, Serbia.

As part of this project, McDermott’s Lummus Technology will provide the license and basic engineering for the Indmax FCC technology and a grassroots unit for the production of bioethanol based Ethyl Tertiary Butyl Ether (ETBE). The state-of-the-art Indmax FCC technology, which was jointly developed by Indian Oil Corporation (IOCL) and Lummus, will shift the yield of the existing FCC unit toward production of valuable olefins and higher-octane naphtha. Part of the olefins will be converted with bio-ethanol to ETBE using Lummus’ technology, which is used as a clean, octane-boosting gasoline-blending component.

We are extremely pleased that NIS has again selected Lummus Technology to upgrade their refinery,” said Leon de Bruyn, Senior Vice President of Lummus Technology. “This award represents the first license of the Indmax FCC technology in Europe, demonstrating the increasing interest in Indmax FCC globally. It also demonstrates our ability to supply integrated and optimized solutions to our clients from our broad portfolio of technologies. NIS will benefit from the added process flexibility and improved economics for many years to come.

Previously, NIS has also selected the hydrocracking technology from Lummus Technology’s joint venture, Chevron Lummus Global (CLG), as well as, more recently, Lummus Technology’s delayed coking technology.

McDermott’s Lummus Technology is a leading licensor of proprietary petrochemicals, refining, gasification and gas processing technologies, and a supplier of proprietary catalysts and related engineering. With a heritage spanning more than 100 years, encompassing approximately 3,400 patents and patent applications, Lummus Technology provides one of the industry’s most diversified technology portfolios to the hydrocarbon processing sector.
