KBR (NYSE:KBR) announced today that it has been awarded a
contract by Saudi Kayan Petrochemical Company (SAUDI KAYAN) to
develop and implement an Operator Training Simulator (OTS) for its
grassroots phenol plant located in Saudi Arabia.
KBR, who is also the technology licensor for the phenol plant,
will develop a customized, high-fidelity simulator to be used for
the initial training of SAUDI KAYAN phenol plant operators and for
continual refresher training after plant startup. The overall
system will consist of custom dynamic models developed by KBR that
will accurately mimic the actual behavior of the phenol plant. The
models will be connected to a set of dedicated control system
hardware and operator consoles that will allow plant operators to
train in a realistic environment without disrupting normal plant
operations. The goal is to significantly reduce downtime and
sustain high on-stream factor for SAUDI KAYAN’s first phenol plant
in Saudi Arabia.
“KBR is pleased to continue building on our strong relationship
with SAUDI KAYAN for this OTS system implementation,” said Tim
Challand, President, KBR Technology. “The award exemplifies the
diversity of services KBR offers our clients and allows us the
opportunity to showcase our expertise in advanced chemical
engineering applications.”
