KBR Inc has been awarded a license and basic engineering design contract by a confidential client for the revamp of a fluid catalytic cracker (FCC) unit with Maxofin technology in Shandong Province in China.
Under the terms of the contract, KBR will provide the licensing package for the Maxofin conversion. Maxofin technology, developed by KBR, enables upgrade of existing FCC units to produce higher amounts of propylene, an important petrochemical feedstock, while still retaining the flexibility to produce more gasoline when market demand or prices are favourable.
“This project demonstrates our commitment to deliver innovative technologies that help the client meet their performance objectives. Maxofin technology is a flexible option to help clients increase their propylene production without major grassroots capital investment,” said John Derbyshire, president of KBR Technology & Consulting.
