The Badger technology is a high yield, highly energy efficient, and low environmental impact process
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
