NITROGEN 2000 SUCCESSFULLY COMMISSIONS
TRINIDAD AMMONIA PLANT USING KBR TECHNOLOGY
-- Facility goes on-line nearly five months ahead of schedule
--
POINT LISAS, Trinidad – KBR's proprietary, low energy
KAAP technology has been installed in Nitrogen 2000 Unlimited's
(N2000) newly commissioned 1,850 MTPD (metric tons per day) ammonia
plant in Point Lisas, Trinidad. The plant was built by MAN Ferrostaal
Aktiengesellschaft of Germany and is the fourth 1,850 MTPD ammonia
plant in Trinidad to use KBR's KAAP technology. KBR is the engineering
and construction subsidiary of Halliburton (NYSE: HAL).
KBR provided the engineering design work and licensing for its
KAAP ammonia process, and also procured the KAAP ammonia reactor.
The plant was successfully commissioned and started up almost
five months ahead of schedule, passing all performance tests shortly
thereafter. Incorporating the more active KAAP ammonia synthesis
catalyst into a new grassroots plant allows ammonia to be produced
at pressures 40 percent lower than conventional technologies,
resulting in lower capital and operating costs.
"KBR is the leading global supplier of ammonia technologies and
has installed more than 50 percent of the world's ammonia capacity,"
said Andy Lane, president and CEO of KBR. "KBR's KAAP ammonia
technology is a low energy and low cost process ideally suited
for large capacity applications like the 1,850 MTPD plant for
N2000. The completion of this fourth ammonia facility in Trinidad
to use our KAAP process further illustrates the market's growing
acceptance and the solid performance of our technology."
The N2000 plant is the second ammonia facility in which KBR has
served as the licensor and engineering subcontractor to Ferrostaal.
KBR's prior project with Ferrostaal, the Caribbean Nitrogen Company's
(CNC) 1,850 MTPD KAAP plant, was successfully commissioned in
July 2002. KBR has previously provided engineering, procurement
and construction (EPC) services for KAAP ammonia plants for two
other clients in Trinidad. The 1,850 MTPD plant for Point Lisas
Nitrogen Ltd. (PLNL) was commissioned in 1998, and the Potash
Corporation of Saskatchewan (PCS) plant, also a 1,850 MTPD facility,
was commissioned in 1998.
