Description This butadiene extraction process was originally developed by Shell Chemicals. It is offered under license agreement by Kellogg Brown Root, who has updated and optimized the process to reduce capital and operating costs. 

NExOCTANE A process for making isooctane by dimerizing isobutylene over an acidic ion-exchange catalyst. The product is used as a gasoline additive. Developed from 1997 by Neste Engineering (a subsidiary of Fortum Oil Gas, Finland) and Kellogg Brown Root. The first commercial unit started operating in 2002. See also SP-Isoether. 

Score [Selective cracking optimum recovery] A process for making ethylene by cracking ethane or naphtha. It combines Exxon Chemical s low-residence time technology with Brown Root s cracking technology. Developed by Kellogg Brown Root in 1999 and planned to be used at Dow s refinery in Freeport, TX, in 2003. BP planned to use it when it expanded its Chocolate Bayou ethylene plant for completion in 2005. 

Description The catalytic-steam hydrocarbon reforming process produces raw synthesis gas by steam reforming in a heat exchange-based system under pressure based on the Kellogg Brown Root Reforming Exchange System (KRES). 

After C02 removal, final purification includes methanation (8) gas diying (9) and ciyogenic purification (10). The resulting pure synthesis gas is compressed in a single-case compressor and mixed with a recycle stream (11). The gas mixture is passed to the ammonia converter (12), which is based on the Kellogg Brown Root Advanced Ammonia Process (KAAP). It uses a precious metal-based, high-activity ammonia synthesis catalyst to allow for high conversion at the relatively low pressure of 90 bar. 

Description The key features of the Kellogg Brown Root (KBR) Purifier process are mild primary reforming, secondary reforming with excess air, cryogenic purification of syngas, and synthesis of ammonia over magnetite catalyst in a horizontal converter. Desulfurized feed is reacted with steam in the primary reformer... 

With over 40 years of continuous technological development, the Kellogg Brown Root (KBR) phenol process features low cumene and energy consumptions, coupled with unsurpassed safety and environmental systems.
