Plant Operations & Debottlenecking

A low capital way of adding production capacity and improving overall efficiency

KBR delivers the plant operations and debottlenecking solutions to help you achieve your plant's full production potential for maximum business performance.

After years of operations, facilities may no longer be operating as efficiently as they once did, and some facilities may have potential that has never been realized. From full operational efficiency audits to troubleshooting specific equipment, we apply our years of knowledge and experience to improve plant performance.

From helping you take advantage of additional feed gas supply or design margins not being realized to control system configurations that may be restricting plant performance and more, we’ll work with you to analyze and understand the situation and make recommendations for performance improvement solutions. And with our advanced simulation and modeling tools — such as our dynamic simulation services that model real transient behavior of plant equipment and our logistics simulation services that analyze critical delivery operations — we’ll provide you with a clear picture of your facilities’ challenges and risks, then help you overcome them.

“From full operational efficiency audits to troubleshooting specific equipment, we apply our years of knowledge and experience to improve plant performance.”

The support resources provided to the projects include fit-for-purpose safety management, quality assurance and control, risk management, and project controls – including cost control, scheduling, document control, and estimating. In addition, KBR brings the benefit of in-house environmental, community consultation and spatial services, as well as advanced operator and maintenance training, to augment our engineering and planning services.

KBR’s team of experts will determine the economic benefits of proposed solutions and assess the solutions in terms of the return on investment and life cycle analysis. KBR can develop the complete business case for our customers.
