Synthetic Graphite Complex

Synthetic Graphite Complex Chevron Lummus Global and TAQAT Announce License and Engineering Agreement for Needle Coke/Synthetic Graphite Complex Chevron Lummus Global LLC (CLG) announced that a new contract has been signed with TAQAT Development Company for a new 75,000 TPA needle coke/synthetic graphite complex in Saudi Arabia. Under the agreement, Chevron Lummus Global will provide pilot plant testing, licensing, basic design and additional engineering and operations support. Feedstock will be supplied by Rabigh Refining & Petrochemical Company (Petro Rabigh). The base complex will use a two-stage coking process to convert feedstock streams that would otherwise be used as fuel oil into high-quality needle coke and synthetic graphite. This process helps reduce environmental impact by converting feedstock streams that would otherwise be considered lower-value or waste material into valuable products, and contributes to a more sustainable approach to resource utilization. CLG's proprietary technology is the result of decades of continuous improvement and accumulated data from the design and commercial operation of more than 60 units. It has proven to be a superior option for converting heavy feedstocks into in-demand products such as needle coke and synthetic graphite. This contract award underscores CLG's expertise and leadership in the field of advanced carbon products. Source
