Badger Licensing has been selected by Lihuayi Weiyuan Chemical to provide its proprietary technology for a 120,000 tpy grassroots bisphenol-A (BPA) plant being built in Lijin, Shandong Province, People’s Republic of China.
The award includes technology license, process design, and start-up services.
The new BPA plant is under construction and is scheduled for mechanical completion and start up in 2015. Lihuayi operates a cumene plant using Badger technology at the same site.
BPA is a precursor to the production of epoxy resins and polycarbonate. Nearly 1.7 million metric tons of BPA capacity has been licensed by Badger and its predecessor companies since the technology was first offered for license in 2001.
Badger is a 50-50 joint venture between ExxonMobil and Technip.
