KBR has received a contract from GS Caltex for a planned plastic recycling project in South Korea.
Based on KBR and Mura’s Hydro-PRT process, the 50 kTA unit converts waste plastics into raw materials for conversion into new plastics.
Doug Kelly, KBR’s President of Technology, said: “Hydro-PRT can play a pivotal role in his KBR efforts supporting his ESG goals for clients through our sustainability platform.”
Dr. Steve Mahon, CEO of Mura Technology, said: Our differentiated, proven and scalable Hydro-PRT process is designed to help companies achieve his ESG goals and we are pleased to be working with the team at GS Caltex to achieve the same. “
“Deploying KBR’s plastic recycling technology, offered in partnership with Mura, is one of GS Caltex’s key elements in reaching our circular goals. By doing so, we are taking a step forward in the field of sustainable and environmentally friendly technology,” said Woo Jin Choi, Vice President of GS Caltex.
KBR has over 50 years of experience in process technology development, commercialization and plant design solutions. In early 2021, KBR partnered to become Mura Technology’s exclusive licensing and delivery partner, and both KBR and Mura have won numerous licensing awards and feasibility studies related to plastic recycling.
