India’s Numaligarh Refinery selects Lummus’ Novolen Tech

Numaligarh Refinery Ltd (NRL) in Golaghat, Assam, India, has selected Lummus Technology’s Novolen for a new 360 KTA polypropylene (PP) unit.

Lummus, a global provider of process technologies and value-driven energy solutions, will provide the technology licence, basic design engineering, training, technical services and catalyst supply.

“We are honoured to continue supporting NRL’s business and are grateful for their confidence in Lummus’ technologies,” said Leon de Bruyn, President and Chief Executive Officer of Lummus Technology.
