Thermal Crude to Chemicals - TC2C™

TC2C™ Initiative:• Joint development agreement formed in 2018 between Saudi

Aramco, Lummus Technology and CLG• Developing, commercializing and marketing innovative crude to

chemical technologies

Platform Includes:• CLG's hydroprocessing technologies• Lummus’ ethylene cracker technology• Aramco's proprietary TC2C™ technology

Unlike any Other Crude-to-Chemicals Technology:• Processes low-value streams such as slurry oil and pyrolysis oils• Can be tailored to maximize olefins, aromatics or any combination

Integration of Processes Allows to:• Achieve maximum output of chemicals from a barrel• Achieve low carbon footprint for petrochemicals production

5


TC2C™ Highest Chemicals Yields at Significantly Lower Costs

6

Maximizes high-value chemicals by:• Optimizing hydrogen infusion into

straight run and cracked distillates• Hydrocracking VGO’s to high-quality

distillates and UCO• Utilizing LC-FINING technology to

maximize recovery of suitable distillates and vacuum gas-oil components

• Processing cracker Pyoil and FCC slurry oil

Lowers overall costs with:• Novel TC2C crude oil separation technology with up to 40% capital

cost reduction• Targeted fractionation throughout crude conditioning section• Integration of LC-FINING with combined distillate and VGO

hydroprocessing• Tailored catalyst systems and steam cracking integration

OCT benefits

11

• Converts low value C4’s and C5’s to PG Propylene with High selectivity >92%

• Energy neutral reaction – environmental friendly technology, (reduces plant overall “green-house gases”)

• Produces ultra high purity 99.99+% on-purpose propylene – Savings in comonomerconsumption of PP plants

• Feedstock flexible technology to accommodate various quality of C4 and C5 feeds

• No Superfractionation; no compressor; carbon steel metallurgy; mild process conditions –Low Capital Investment

• Technology can be built into a grassroots cracker, bolted onto an existing cracker, built into or added onto an existing refinery – Easily Integrated

• OCT boosts propylene production in a Steam Cracker – P/E ratio greater than 1 is achievable

• Quick Construction, reduces overall project Cost, Duration and quick payback

• Commercially proven for over 35 years
