Uz-Kor Gas Chemical has chosen KBR to provide an integrated technology, engineering, procurement and construction support solution for the company’s flexible-feed, 400,000-tpy ethylene plant in the Ustyurt region of Uzbekistan.
The plant will be the first ethylene plant based on KBR’s license in Uzbekistan and will utilize KBR’s proprietary SCORE (selective cracking and optimum recovery) technology, the company said.
“We are excited about the opportunity to provide KBR’s technology and services for the first time in an Uzbek plant,” said David Zelinski, KBR’s downstream president.
“The region’s abundant supply of gas and other natural resources have the potential to deliver growth and prosperity to both KBR and Uzbekistan.”
Financial terms were not disclosed.
KBR will deliver the basic engineering package, SCORE technology license, operator training, start-up services and in-country construction assistance, it said.
KBR will also provide detailed engineering and design for the furnace section of the ethylene plant and supply equipment related to the ethylene furnace.
GS Engineering and Construction Corp. will supply additional engineering, procurement, and construction for the project.
