Kellogg awarded contract for Turkmenistan plant

Houston-M.W. Kellogg Ltd. (MWKL), a unit of KBR, has entered into a license agreement and basic engineering design (BED) agreement with Kawasaki Plant Systems, Ltd. (K-Plant) for the Mary Project, grassroots ammonia and urea plants expected to be located in Turkmenistan. MWKL’s services include development of a basic engineering design package and the provision of an ammonia license so that K-Plant can engineer, procure, and construct the project’s ammonia and urea plants. “With a long history of operating in Central Asia, this contract award provides MWKL the opportunity to strengthen our credentials in the region,” said Stewart Watson, managing director of MWKL. “We are proud to be part of such an important project in Turkmenistan, and I am confident our services can add value to this venture.” A state-owned enterprise of the Republic of Turkmenistan, Turkmenhimya is commissioning the Mary Project, with support from Sojitz Corp.
