Houston/USA – KBR has recently announced that it has been awarded a catalyst supply contract for a Vinyl Acetate Monomer (Vam) project by Shenghong Refining Petrochemical (Lianyungang) Co., China. Under the terms of the agreement, KBR will provide proprietary catalyst for Shenghong's grassroot 300 KTA Vam unit. The unit represents the first commercial Vam technology license and engineering contract under an alliance agreement between KBR and Showa Denko K.K. (SDK).
