KBR’s Purifier technology for urea/ammonia complex in Indonesia
By Gerald Ondrey |
KBR (Houston; www.kbr.com) was awarded a contract by Toyo Engineering Corp. (Toyo; Chiba, Japan; www.toyo-eng.co.jp) to provide licensing and engineering services for PT Pupuk Kalimantan Timur (Pupuk Kaltim) — the largest urea and ammonia manufacturing company in Indonesia. The project will be held at Kaltim-5, Pupuk Kaltim’s grassroots 2,500 metric-tons-per-day ammonia plant located in Bontang, East Kalimantan, Indonesia.
KBR will provide the licensing, basic engineering package and related services for Kaltim-5. The fertilizer complex is being constructed to meet the growing demand for urea fertilizer in the region, and will be based on KBR’s Purifier technology which is said to offer the lowest proven energy consumption. The plant will eventually replace an existing unit, allowing the client to decrease wasteful gas consumption and operate more efficiently.
