Business Wire
KBR (NYSE: KBR) today announced that it has been awarded a
contract by Saudi Aramco Lubricating Oil Refining Co. (Luberef) to
implement KBR’s proprietary Solvent Deasphalting (SDA) Technology,
ROSE®, for Luberef’s Yanbu Refinery Expansion Project in Saudi
Arabia.
Under the contract, KBR will provide technology licensing and
basic engineering services to revamp and almost double the capacity
of Luberef’s existing Propane Deasphalting (PDA) Unit. The existing
PDA unit, which is currently based on conventional SDA technology,
will be converted to KBR’s ROSE technology. In addition to
increasing production volumes, the PDA revamp will allow Luberef to
increase the production of brightstock and by-products.
“KBR is proud that Luberef has selected ROSE for this strategic
project, and I am confident that the project will benefit from
KBR’s experience of designing over 50 ROSE units, including many
for lube oil production,” said Tim Challand, President, KBR
Technology. “This award underscores our strong commitment and
reputation of providing process technology solutions that address
our clients’ individual needs in the most cost effective and
practical manner.”
