Another crucial factor is water . Leon noted that the industry is behind when considering water usage and managing the water at industrial complexes . So , how do Lummus and the industry catch up ? How does the industry clean the water it uses , and do its part in helping to solve the world ’ s water issues ?
These questions triggered Lummus ’ latest venture to acquire water treatment technologies from Siemens Energy . This acquisition expands Lummus ’ portfolio , further integrating its solutions and supporting its customers ’ waste reduction and energy efficiency goals . “ We think we can use these world-class water technologies alongside our process technologies and have less impact or no impact on water . We will integrate and apply these water and water treatment technologies to our portfolio ,” Leon expresses .
When asked about his five-year vision for the business , he responds that five years is too short . “ Whatever we decide , it must make sense in ten or 20 years from now . If we consider five years , I think I ’ ll be disappointed if Lummus isn ’ t the go-to party for solving energy problems , and how to make polymers and other consumable goods in the most efficient , most sustainable manner . We want to make a positive impact on the quality of lives through our competencies , process technology development and new solutions . And I think we will get there faster than five years . We need to keep our heads down and do what we ’ re good at ,” Leon concludes . ■
