KBR Inc. has announced that it has been awarded a contract by Linggu Chemical Co. Ltd for an ammonia plant in Yixing City, Jiangsu Province in China.
Under the terms of the contract, KBR will provide the technology licensing and basic engineering design (LBED) package for building a new 1500 tpd ammonia synthesis unit as a replacement for one of their existing units in Yixing. The plant will utilise KBR's proprietary ammonia synloop technology.
This is the second grassroots ammonia synthesis unit for Linggu using KBR technology: KBR licensed the first synloop unit to Linggu in 2015.
