HOUSTON — KBR, Inc. announced that it has been awarded a contract by Dorogobuzh JSC (owned by JSC ACRON) to provide licensing and basic engineering design (LBED) to revamp an ammonia plant—originally built by KBR—located in the Dorogobuzh, Smolensk region of Russia. Under the agreement, KBR will supply its proprietary ammonia technology to increase plant capacity significantly to 2,100 MMtpd with improved efficiency.
