KBR announced that it has been awarded a contract for its ROSE® supercritical Solvent De-Asphalting (SDA) technology and Vacuum Distillation Unit (VDU) from Taiwan’s state-owned oil company, CPC Corporation.
Under the terms of the contract, KBR will provide a license, basic engineering and proprietary equipment to CPC for its proprietary ROSE technology. KBR will also supply the engineering package for the upstream VDU.
ROSE technology is a cost-effective residue upgrading process that allows refiners to produce higher grade, cleaner products while reducing the facility’s carbon footprint. This industry leading technology delivers 50% energy savings over conventional SDA technologies.
“We are pleased to work with CPC on this important project that enables clean fuels production with KBR’s energy-efficient and sustainable ROSE process,” said Doug Kelly, KBR President, Technology. “KBR’s design features an innovative integration solution between the VDU and ROSE unit, which significantly reduces the project’s carbon footprint.
KBR is a global leader in residue upgrading technologies with the largest installed base and has been involved in the licensing, design, engineering, and/or construction of 70 ROSE units worldwide with a combined licensed capacity of nearly 1.6 million BPSD. This list includes operators that have installed multiple ROSE units.
