KBR, Inc. (Houston) announced that it has been awarded a second ammonia cracking technology contract by Hanwha Impact Corp. for its clean power generation facility in Korea.
Under the terms of the agreement, KBR will provide technology licensing, proprietary engineering design and equipment, and services for a 214 metric tons per day hydrogen facility. The plant will utilize KBR’s proprietary H2ACT ammonia cracking technology to produce clean hydrogen and contribute to Korea’s decarbonization goals. KBR was previously awarded an ammonia-cracking contract by ISU Chemical In Ulsan, South Korea.
“We are grateful for the trust Hanwha has placed in KBR to support their growth plans,” said Jay Ibrahim, President, KBR Sustainable Technology Solutions. “KBR’s innovative H2ACT technology was previously selected by Hanwha for large-scale, sustainable hydrogen production and this new award utilizes a design intended to further enhance the cost-efficiency of the project.”
KBR’s ammonia technology has been used in more than 260 grassroots plants since 1944 and has maintained its leadership by seeking to optimize energy efficiency and minimize CO2 emissions. KBR’s H2ACT® ammonia cracking technology builds on that legacy, offering a design aimed at delivering an efficient and reliable clean hydrogen solution.
