The Lummus Light Olefin Recovery Unit (herein 'LORU') technology represents an optimized separation system designed to efficiently recover high-purity ethylene and propylene from methanol-to-olefin (MTO) reactor effluent through advanced absorption and distillation processes.

The LORU system integrates closely with upstream methanol-to-olefins (MTO) conversion technologies, particularly the DICP DMTO process, forming a comprehensive coal-based or methanol-based olefin production chain.
