"We are honored that LG Chem has selected our modular solution for the Hydro-PRT unit at Dangjin," said Doug Kelly, KBR President, Technology. "Our proprietary modularization solutions deliver inherent cost, scalability, schedule, and safety advantages and we look forward to a successful implementation to help LG Chem accelerate attainment of its ESG objectives."

KBR and Mura's Hydro-PRT process converts waste plastics into raw materials for new plastics, achieving total circularity. A recent report published by the European Commission's Joint Research Centre shows this proprietary technology to be the best performing for resource use across mechanical, chemical and energy recovery processes and produced the highest yield of hydrocarbon products to displace virgin fossil equivalent.
