years,” said John Derbyshire, President, KBR Technology. “KBR’s
longstanding relationship with LG Chem began with the license for
LG’s first phenol unit in 2002 and has continued with ongoing
cooperation in many areas of the technology. Nearly 10 years later,
we are pleased to once again offer our technology to help LG meet
its growth objectives.”
