THE WOODLANDS, Texas,
Nov. 2, 2017 /PRNewswire/
-- CB&I (NYSE:CBI) today announced it has been awarded the
44th Kirkpatrick Chemical Engineering Achievement Award
for its AlkyClean® process technology, a solid acid catalyst
alkylation technology jointly developed by CB&I, Albemarle and
Neste Oil.
Chemical Engineering has presented the biennial
Kirkpatrick Award continuously since 1933. The award honors the
most noteworthy chemical engineering technology that has been
commercialized anywhere in the world during the two previous years.
The board of judges for this year's award included five heads of
chemical engineering departments from U.S. universities and two
heads of chemical engineering from E.U. universities. The awards
were presented at a dinner in New York
City on November 1, 2017.
CB&I's AlkyClean technology eliminates the use of liquid
acids for the production of motor fuel alkylate, and thus
eliminates the hazards and operating issues associated with
handling liquid acids. The world's first solid catalyst alkylation
process was commercialized with this catalyst and process.
"CB&I is proud to be recognized with the Kirkpatrick
Chemical Engineering Achievement Award for our AlkyClean
technology," said Patrick K. Mullen,
CB&I's President and Chief Executive Officer. "We are committed
to providing innovative solutions for our customers, while helping
them make a positive impact on the environment and meet more
stringent global energy regulations."
CB&I received the Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge
Award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for its
AlkyClean technology in 2016.
