KBR has been awarded a front-end engineering design (FEED) contract for the development of an ammonia and urea production plant by KAR Electrical Power Production Trading FZE (KEPPT) in Basra, Iraq.

 

Under the terms of the contract, KBR will provide FEED for the 2,300 metric tons per day (MTPD) ammonia production facility and a 3,850 MTPD urea production unit.

 

The FEED will be executed utilising KBR’s proprietary ammonia technology, designed to enable high efficiency, low emissions, and operational reliability to assist KEPPT with its goal to achieve the lowest overall capex with an optimised project schedule.

 

“We are honoured to support this pivotal project, which monetises gas feedstock to boost the agricultural industry in Iraq,” said Jay Ibrahim, President, KBR Sustainable Technology Solutions. “Underlined by KBR’s expertise in market-leading ammonia solutions and proven FEED capability, this initiative should generate employment and reduce the dependency of fertiliser imports, while repositioning Iraq as a global ammonia producer.” -OGN / TradeArabia News Service
