Cumene Flysheet

Cumene technology highlights

LOW OPERATING COST

• Ultra-high (nearly stoichiometric) yields minimize raw material consumptions
• Low B/P and Bz/PIPB ratios minimize utility and power consumptions
• High energy efficiency and seamless integration with downstream phenol and bisphenol A units

LOW CAPITAL INVESTMENT

• Low B/P and Bz/PIPB ratios results in smaller distillation equipment
• Small reactors and catalyst volumes
• Low temperature, pressure, and non-corrosive conditions allows carbon steel construction

COMMERCIAL EXPERIENCE

• As of early 2021, plants using the Badger Cumene technology produce over half of the world's cumene capacity having a total installed capacity in excess of 10 million metric tons per year
• Single train capacities as large as 750 KTA have been licensed and demonstrated
• Badger technology can produce high quality cumene from any commercial grade of propylene
• Badger technology has successfully supplied cumene to all major downstream phenol processes
