KBR  a world-leading provider of refinery technologies , announced today that JX Nippon Oil and Energy Corporation (JX Corp) has again selected KBR’s ROSE® technology for the Kashima refinery expansion project in Japan. This award marks the second ROSE® unit for JX Corp.
 
KBR will supply the technology licensor basic engineering package in support of the Kashima refinery’s aggressive schedule of completing construction by the end of 2015. The technology is expected to significantly enhance the profitability of the refinery.
 
The ROSE® technology will make it possible to separate large amounts of deasphalted oil (DAO) from residue feed.
