Design contract for new urea plant

KBR says 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 a proposed 2,300 t/d ammonia production facility and 3,850 t/d urea unit. The design will be executed using KBR’s proprietary ammonia technology.

“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 fertilizer imports, while repositioning Iraq as a global ammonia producer.”
