KBR Inc., Houston, said on Nov. 28 that it has been awarded a contract to supply proprietary equipment to Southern Petrochemical Industries Corp. Ltd. India for its plant located in Thoothukudi in the State of Tamil Nadu. KBR will supply an ammonia converter basket as proprietary equipment for the project.
