Lummus Technology – the technology licensing arm of the Lummus organization – is one of the most active process technology licensors in the hydrocarbon industry. Our proprietary refining and petrochemical technologies are designed to afford clients significant capital and operating advantages, and are recognized worldwide for their reliability and integrity. We are committed to ongoing research and development, and we have developed a network of partnerships and alliances with universities, major refiners, and chemical and catalyst manufacturers to continually improve our process technologies.
Refining
Our portfolio of refining technologies provides solutions for bottoms upgrading, hydroprocessing, reformulated fuels and high octane blending components. Current offerings from Chevron Lummus Global, our joint venture with Chevron, include hydrocracking, residual hydrotreating, residual hydrocracking and lubricants. CDTECH®, our partnership with Chemical Research & Licensing Company, supplies catalytic distillation processes that combine reaction and fractionation in a single unit operation. These processes are applied in selective hydrogenation, hydrodesulfurization, alkylation and etherification.

Olefins/Polyolefins
Lummus Technology licenses the most widely used ethylene technology in the world, with about 40% of global capacity based on our process. A significant by-product of the ethylene process when cracking liquid feeds is propylene. Olefins Conversion Technology optimizes the balance among ethylene, propylene and butylenes depending on current market demand and pricing. We also offer the Novolen® gas phase polypropylene process for the production of a full range of polypropylene products.

Petrochemicals
Lummus Technology offers a diverse line of chemical technologies along product lines such as styrene and styrenic polymers, phenolics, light hydrocarbons, and other assorted specialty chemicals including maleic anhydride.
Petrochemical Technologies
Gas Processing
Patented process technology and proprietary know-how developed by Lummus Technology are used in more than 200 natural gas plants around the world. Many of the innovations we have developed, like the use of plate-fin exchangers and packings in cryogenic columns, remain today as standard designs in the industry. We have a wide portfolio of patented designs including deep ethane and propane recovery, NicheLNGSM, mitigation of CO2 recovery in NGL processing, and hydrocarbons from refinery streams, enabling us to expand our technology positions through the natural gas value chain.
