SCORE
Reliable and flexible process, easy operation and
low maintenance needs
Best return on investment: Low CAPEX and OPEX
Small footprint
Tailored coil design to meet customers objectives
K-COT
Flexible feed: capable of processing C4-C10 olefinic,
paraffinic or mixed feeds
Higher propylene-to-ethylene ratio
Chemicals
Phenol: Delivers high quality phenol and acetone at low
long term cost of production, with high yields, low energy
and high on-stream time. KBR has licensed 50% of the
world's phenol capacity.
NExOCTANE: Highly selective, commercially proven
technology for dimerization of isobutylene to isooctene/iso-octane.
NExETHERS: The ultimate technology for the combined
production of MTBE, TAME and heavier ethers or their
counterparts ETBE, TAEE and heavier ethers in one unit.
