KBR awarded ammonia plant revamp in India

KBR, Inc announced today it has been awarded an ammonia plant revamp contract by Rashtriya Chemicals & Fertilizers Ltd (RCF).

Under the terms of the contract, KBR will provide a technology license and basic engineering design for the RCF ammonia plant at Trombay, Maharashtra, India. During this project, the existing Ammonia 5 plant will be revamped for energy savings to meet the new energy requirements in India.

KBR will utilize its proprietary PurifierTM technology which delivers the lowest proven energy consumption in the industry, reduces capital costs and improves overall plant operations.

"Partnering with a government fertilizer company such as RCF to help them meet their new energy requirements is an important milestone project for KBR in India," said John Derbyshire, President KBR Technology & Consulting. "This shows the immense amount of confidence and faith that clients have in KBR ammonia technology solutions."

KBR is a leader across the world in ammonia technology and has been involved in the licensing, design, engineering, and/or construction of more than 230 grass roots ammonia plants and over 100 revamp ammonia projects globally.

Revenue associated with this project has been booked into backlog for KBR's Technology and Consulting Business Segment in 2017.
