KBR (NYSE:KBR) today announced that it has been awarded a
contract by Matix Fertilisers and Chemicals Limited (MFCL) – a
Matix Group Company owned by Kanoria family in India – to provide
licensing and engineering services for its grassroots 2,200 metric
tons per day (MTPD) ammonia plant located in West Bengal, India.
MFCL is setting up the largest ammonia/urea (1.3 million tons per
annum) manufacturing facilities in the country, along with Captive
Power Plant, utilities, infrastructure and railway siding in the
complex.
KBR will license its Purifier™ Ammonia technology for the Matix
plant, which will be based on coal bed methane. The use of coal bed
methane as feedstock in the ammonia synthesis process is a
relatively new application that provides an alternative to the use
of natural gas in areas where coal is abundant.
“This selection of KBR’s Purifier™ Ammonia technology for this
mega grassroots ammonia plant demonstrates the quality and
versatility of this unmatched technology,” said Tim Challand,
President, Technology for KBR. “We are pleased that Matix found
value in our technology and look forward to providing effective,
efficient long-term solutions for both Matix and the region.”
KBR is a global engineering, construction and services company
supporting the energy, hydrocarbon, government services, minerals,
civil infrastructure, power and industrial markets. For more
