In 2023, Lummus acquired the Zimpro wet air oxidation technology and PACT system plus the associated intellectual property, pilot plants and lab equipment. These technologies offer several environmental solutions over traditional treatment methods, including:
- Destruction of harmful contaminants such as PFAS, also known as forever chemicals.
- Conversion and destruction of elevated waste streams, while minimizing the generation of secondary waste streams.
- Reuse of municipal sludge to produce products or energy.
- Elimination of less environmentally friendly treatment technologies like incineration with energy efficient non-combustion options like Wet Air Oxidation.
In addition to the Green Circle Labs located at the Bayport Industrial Complex in La Porte, Texas, Lummus has three strategically located facilities in the U.S. and Europe. These facilities offer advanced R&D, analytical labs, manufacturing of proprietary equipment and catalysts, pilot plants, testing and modeling, and other services that help Lummus develop, commercialize and improve its technologies.
