Badger Licensing to provide cumene technology to Rabigh Phase II project in Saudi Arabia

Badger Licensing LLC today announced that it was awarded a contract by Aramco Services Company and Sumitomo Chemical Co., Ltd. to provide its proprietary technology for a 384,000 metric tons per annum grassroots cumene plant as part of the Rabigh Phase II Project in Rabigh, Saudi Arabia. The contract includes technology license, engineering, training and start up services for the cumene plant, due to start up in 2016.

“Rabigh Phase II is an impressive project in the growing petrochemical industry in the Middle East and Badger is proud to be associated with it,” said Mark Healey, president of Badger. “I believe Badger’s proven cumene technology will enable the Rabigh Phase II Project to achieve a low cost of ownership by leveraging long catalyst cycles and high operational reliability.”

Cumene is a precursor to the production of phenol and subsequently bisphenol A and polycarbonate. Nearly tenmillion metric tons per annum of cumene capacity has been licensed by Badger and its predecessor companies since the technology was introduced in 1995.
