KBR awarded FEED contract for KEPPT’s fertiliser facility in Iraq

KBR announced today that it 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 optimized project schedule.

“We are honored to support this pivotal project, which monetizes 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 fertilizer imports, while repositioning Iraq as a global ammonia producer.”

KBR plays a key role in delivering reliable and affordable energy solutions to meet the world’s growing demands. KBR has been involved in the licensing, design, engineering and/or construction of more than 260 ammonia plants worldwide.
