KBR announced today that it has signed an agreement with AMUFERT to develop a new ammonia plant in Soyo, Angola.

Under the terms of the contract, KBR will provide a technology license, proprietary engineering design, equipment, and catalyst solutions for AMUFERT's 2,300 metric tons per day ammonia plant. Leveraging KBR's proprietary technologies and expertise in ammonia, the planned facility will assist Angola and its neighboring countries in moving toward greater food security and self-sufficiency.
