CB&I's AlkyClean Technology Wins Kirkpatrick Chemical Engineering Award

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.
