Research & Development Overview

Badger has access to the resources of a state-of-the-art research and development facility owned by its parent company Technip Energies. The Weymouth Research Center is the process development facility for Badger Licensing LLC. Located in the Boston suburb of Weymouth, Massachusetts, the Research Center has been heavily involved in the successful development and deployment of many Badger technologies, including ethylbenzene, styrene, cumene, bisphenol A, and most recently our BenzOUT™ and isopropanol technologies.

Backed by over forty years of experience in developing and commercializing chemical process technologies, the scientists located at the Research Center are able to execute research and development activities efficiently through close cooperation with the licensing directors as well as design and engineering resources. The scientists are known for their extensive expertise in areas such as alkylation, transalkylation, oxidation, condensation, esterification, transesterification, hydrogenation, and dehydrogenation. Additional support and expertise is also available from the shareholders and technology partners.

The scientists have access to numerous resources in Weymouth that include fixed bed, trickle bed, fluid bed, and stirred reactor systems, separation equipment as well as various analytical systems offered by the shareholder and technology associates. Routine research activity typically ranges from preliminary catalyst screening to complete process demonstration.
