Texas/USA – KBR has recently been awarded contracts to support the revamp of two ammonia plants owned and operated by AGF Nitrogen through its affiliated companies SKWP in Germany and LAT Nitrogen in Linz, Austria.

Utilizing KBR’s industry-leading ammonia technology and proven revamp capabilities, the upgrades will allow AGF Nitrogen to reduce natural gas consumption, improve energy efficiency, and lower CO₂ emissions in two of its key assets. Furthermore, the revamps will enable AGF Nitrogen to achieve its sustainability objectives while continuing to support food security for Europe. Responding to the evolving energy challenges in the European fertilizer production market, AGF Nitrogen has chosen to collaborate with KBR to deliver on these objectives.

Under the terms of the contracts, KBR will provide technology licensing, proprietary engineering design, post-BED services, process equipment and catalyst supply for the revamp of LAT Nitrogen’s 550 MTPD ammonia plant #2 in Linz, Austria. For SKWP’s 1,900 MTPD ammonia plant #2 in Lutherstadt Wittenberg, Germany, KBR will provide technology licensing, post-Bed services, process equipment and catalyst supply, back-end modifications and a new ammonia converter for the synthesis loop, building on the proprietary engineering work awarded to KBR in March 2026.
