KBR, Inc. (Houston) announced that it has won an ammonia technology contract from DL E&C for NeuRizer’s (formerly Leigh Creek Energy Ltd) carbon-neutral fertilizer project in Australia.

Under the terms of the contract, KBR will provide technology licensing and engineering for the 1,600 metric tons per day (m.t./d) ammonia plant based on KBR’s highly efficient Purifier process. This is the first fully integrated urea production facility in the world leveraging an innovative configuration for in-situ syngas production, gas processing, ammonia and urea manufacturing and carbon geo-sequestration.

“We are excited to provide our energy-efficient ammonia technology to DL E&C for NeuRizer’s flagship carbon-neutral project for the local and export agriculture markets,” said Doug Kelly, KBR President, Technology. “This project reaffirms our commitment to continuing to explore novel ways to help our clients meet their business and sustainability targets.”
