BOSTON, US: Badger Licensing LLC (Badger) announced that Lihuayi Weiyuan Chemical Co Ltd (Lihuayi) has selected Badger to provide its proprietary technology for a 120,000 metric tonne per annum 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 startup in 2015. Lihuayi operates a cumene plant using Badger technology at the same site.
