KBR Inc., a world leader in ammonia
technology, announced today that it has been awarded the license and
engineering contracts to perform front end engineering and design for a
potential expansion of Mosaic's Ammonia Plant in St. James, La.
KBR's "lean FEED" approach will debottleneck the plant and increase
Mosaic's ammonia production capacity by 20 percent at their plant
located on the banks of the Mississippi, just south of Baton Rouge.
KBR's proprietary ammonia technology will be utilized to revamp and
expand the original KBR designed plant. Additionally, KBR will provide
the basic engineering design and the FEED requirements necessary to
produce a final estimate prior to project approval.
"This is a significant win for KBR and we are pleased to be able to
support Mosaic with both our leading technology and our technical and
project delivery expertise," said Stuart Bradie, KBR President and CEO.
"We look forward to developing a broader relationship with Mosaic
through successful execution."
KBR has been involved in the licensing, design, engineering and/or
construction of more than 230 ammonia plants worldwide.
Expected revenue from the contract was included in the third quarter
2014 backlog of unfilled orders for the Hydrocarbons segment. The
contract value was not disclosed.
