Lummus Technology‘s olefin conversion technology (OCT), as well as the cumene and phenol technologies, will be licensed to Haldia Petrochemicals Ltd. for a new plant in West Bengal, India. Once completed, this plant will be India’s largest cumene and phenol plant. Phenol is primarily used in the manufacture of thermoset (phenolic resin) plastics, and such projects could aid in reducing phenol import dependence, which currently accounts for 20% of total demand.
