KBR LAUNCHES KCAP℠ — A NEXT-GENERATION DECARBONIZATION SOLUTION

Staying true to its commitment to sustainability and decarbonization, last year KBR launched KCap℠, a next-generation decarbonization solution, which offers a significant reduction in capex and footprint.

The new process intensification technology, offered in alliance with Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd (HPCL), India, is an advanced solution for CO2 capture utilizing HPCL’s patented Rotating Packed Bed (RPB). The technology significantly improves the mass transfer between CO2 gas and liquid solvent, which enables a notable reduction in equipment size.

KBR's deep domain expertise in process commercialization and deployment, combined with HPCL's years of plant operating experience with their patented technology, unlocks a more cost-effective carbon capture solution. HPCL has established this technology through its demonstration facility, which has been operating in India since 2014. This technology will lead to significant reductions in equipment size, plant footprint and associated capital costs and is suitable for new and existing pre- and post-combustion applications.
