Badger Licensing to provide proprietary BenzOUT™ technology to Wyoming refining
Badger Licensing LLC (Badger) today announced that Wyoming Refining Company has selected Badger to provide its proprietary BenzOUT™ technology for a 4,000 barrels per day grassroots plant to be built in Newcastle, Wyoming. The unit converts benzene contained in the refinery's gasoline pool into high octane blendstock by reacting the benzene with refinery grade propylene. The award includes technology license, process design, and start-up services.
The project is currently in basic engineering and is scheduled for mechanical completion and startup in 2015.
“Wyoming Refining will meet MSAT II benzene regulations and gain several important benefits by choosing BenzOUT technology,” said Stuart Agler, president of Badger. “The technology will increase the octane in Wyoming Refining’s motor gasoline and does not require hydrogen. Wyoming Refining will also avoid high freight costs associated with shipping propylene by converting the propylene to high octane gasoline blendstock.”
Badger Licensing LLC, headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts, is a venture of affiliates of Technip and ExxonMobil Chemical Company. Badger Licensing is principally engaged in marketing, licensing and developing technologies for ethylbenzene, styrene monomer, cumene and bisphenol A, in addition to BenzOUT technology.
