Clairant, a specialty chemicals company based in Switzerland, announced that it is expanding its strategic cooperation with KBR for ammonia production. The collaboration will combine Clairant’s AmoMax 10 Plus ammonia synthesis catalysts with KBR’s K-GreeN® ammonia technologies to maximize the economics and energy efficiency of ammonia production
Houston-based KBR’s technology has recently been selected for use at several low-carbon ammonia plants including the Shell Blue Horizons plant in Duqm, Oman (GM July 26, p. 25), the Fortescue Holmaneset green ammonia plant in Norway (GM April 26, p. 26), and the El Nasr Company fertilizer complex in Egypt (GM April 5, p. 25).
Clairant and KBR’s complete green ammonia solution has already been selected for ten green ammonia projects around the world.
