KBR Wins Contract from SABIC Fujian Petrochemicals

US-based multinational contractor KBR has been awarded a contract by SABIC Fujian Petrochemicals to license its phenol technology in China.

Under the terms of the contract, KBR will provide technology licensing and proprietary engineering design for a 250 kt/a phenol plant at SABIC Fujian Petrochemical’s complex in China’s Fujian province.
