polypropylene (PP) plants. Lummus will provide the license and
basic engineering for its Novolen PP technology, plus the
associated catalysts. CLG will provide the license and basic
engineering for the VRDS technology, plus proprietary reactor
internals and catalysts.

multi-technology solutions for our customers," said Leon de Bruyn, President and Chief Executive
Officer of Lummus Technology. "By supplying our world-class
technologies and services, we can enhance the productivity
throughout the entire life cycle of North Huajin's complex, reduce
their capital and operating costs, and increase their
profitability."
"The VRDS technology we are licensing, and the catalysts and
reactor internals we are supplying, will help optimize product
quality, product yield and run-length over a range of vacuum
residue," said Ujjal Mukherjee,
Managing Director of CLG. "Our VRDS technology has a very strong
market share worldwide, and this award further strengthens our
position and leadership in licensing world-class residue
desulfurization technology."
Once complete, the VRDS unit will process 5 MMTPA of vacuum
residue, providing hydrotreated feed for the downstream conversion
unit while simultaneously producing low sulfur bunker oil that
meets International Maritime Organization (IMO) specifications. The
Novolen plant, embedded in a compact plot area, will produce 1,000
KTA of polypropylene homopolymers, random copolymers, and impact
copolymers – making it one of the largest in China – with high-end products encompassing
