Lummus, a well-respected leader in the sustainable technologies sector, has recently broadened its research and development capabilities in order to further enhance water and wastewater technologies. The company has introduced its latest venture, the Lummus Green Circle Labs, strategically situated in La Porte, Texas, US. This cutting-edge facility is focused on augmenting the commercial value and versatility of Lummus’ water and wastewater technology, as well as hastening innovation in this crucial sector.
According to Ujjal Mukherjee, the Chief Technology Officer at Lummus Technology, the addition of Zimpro to their portfolio last year significantly expanded their ability to provide sustainable and integrated solutions that support waste reduction and energy efficiency objectives. The establishment of the Green Circle Labs represents a significant milestone for Lummus, as it signifies a substantial investment in advancing the Zimpro technology, ultimately enabling the provision of impactful solutions to customers globally, including PFAS destruction technology.
In 2023, Lummus strategically acquired the Zimpro wet air oxidation technology and PACT system, in addition to associated intellectual property, pilot plants, and laboratory equipment. These state-of-the-art technologies offer a variety of environmental benefits over traditional treatment methods, including the elimination of harmful contaminants such as PFAS, the conversion and destruction of elevated waste streams, and the reuse of municipal sludge to create products or energy. Furthermore, these technologies eliminate less environmentally friendly treatment options and provide energy-efficient non-combustion alternatives.
In conjunction with the Green Circle Labs, Lummus operates three strategically situated facilities in the US and Europe, offering advanced research and development capabilities, analytical labs, manufacturing of proprietary equipment and catalysts, pilot plants, testing and modeling, and other services to support the development, commercialization, and improvement of its technologies.
Lummus’ commitment to advancing water and wastewater technologies underscores the company’s dedication to environmental sustainability and addressing the evolving needs of its customers. Through this expansion of R&D capabilities, Lummus is poised to make significant strides in developing innovative solutions and driving positive change in the water and wastewater industry.
