In January 2024, SABIC Fujian Petrochemicals awarded KBR a contract to license their phenol technology in China. Under the terms of the contract, KBR will provide technology licensing and proprietary engineering design for a 250,000 tpy phenol plant at SABIC’s Fujian Petrochemical Complex. The final investment decision for this project was announced in January 2024 with expected completion in 2026.
KBR’s phenol technology offers a sustainable and differentiated solution through reduced energy consumption and improved yields. Jay Ibrahim, President of KBR Sustainable Technology Solutions, expressed excitement about offering their industry-leading phenol technology to SABIC Fujian for this ambitious project in China. He stated that KBR’s phenol technology increases customers’ competitive advantage and advances their sustainability objectives through superior efficiency, reliability, wastewater recovery, and performance.
