Lummus Green Circle and Chevron Lummus Global to offer integrated circular solutions

In Texas, Lummus Technology’s Green Circle and Chevron Lummus Global are integrating multiple technologies from their portfolios for application in the circular economy. The partners will use a combination of the Lummus New Hope Energy plastic pyrolysis technology, CLG’s ISOCONVERSION technology and Lummus’ steam cracking technology to provide operators the ability to produce steam cracker products in large quantities from hydroprocessed mixed-waste plastic pyrolysis oil.

The Lummus New Hope Energy plastic pyrolysis technology recycles end-of-life plastics into petrochemical feedstock. Through a robust thermal pyrolysis process, the technology produces high-quality pyrolysis oil that is proven, scalable and economic for operators that want to replace or supplement oil-derived feedstocks.

Lummus’ steam ethylene cracking technology produces polymer grade ethylene, polymer grade propylene and butadiene. The process is recognized for its performance, including high product yield and energy efficiency, low investment cost and operating reliability.

CLG’s ISOCONVERSION technology uses state-of-the-art hydroprocessing technologies to process biomass and waste plastic pyrolysis oils to renewable fuels or petrochemical feedstocks.
