KBR will provide design and support services needed for the project, replacing two existing naphtha reformers and a hydrogen plant with a single reformer. The new unit is expected to increase the refinery’s gasoline yields and increase co-product hydrogen production.
Additionally, the new equipment will assist the refinery in meeting future environmental regulations, with an anticipated air emissions reduction of more than 5%. The award of this work follows KBR’s completion of front end engineering for the project for BP-Husky. Work will be executed out of KBR’s Houston and Monterrey, Mexico offices.
John Quinn, president of KBR Downstream, said: “As a long-time client of KBR, we are proud that BP has once again selected KBR as their contractor of choice for the Toledo project. This project is an important one for the current refining market, and KBR’s project team will work with our valued client to achieve the successful execution of this facility upgrade.”
