Illa International

ILLA International, LLC, a U.S. company, is a professional research and engineering team who has been in the phenol business for over 30 years and has become a worldwide leader in phenol technology. The total phenol capacity based on ILLA's technologies is over tons of phenol per year - more than 30% of the worldwide phenol production. ILLA has far surpassed all other competitive technologies in terms of selectivity and safety level of the phenol process. For example, a transfer from any of the common two-step CHP-cleavage process to ILLA’s two-step process provides a 30 kg/t cumene saving, making the process revamp highly efficient and resulting in the lowest feed consumption per ton of product phenol. ILLA International has been successful in implementing its proprietary technologies at phenol plants all over the world, including large and medium capacity plants such as INEOS (Germany, Belgium, USA), SABIC (former General Electric, USA), FCFC (Taiwan), Mitsubishi Chemical Corp.(Japan) and Borealis (Finland), and small capacity plants in Mexico and Russia. We achieved success due to the following factors- Establishment of a state-of-the-art research phenol center - Collaboration between the brightest scientists and applied chemists - Creation and maintenance of a state-of-the-art engineering level by involving the best engineers from Russia and USA Our intellectual property is covered with many patents (totally оver 130 patents and additional pending applications).
