KBR and ExxonMobil Catalyst Licensing collaborate on Propane Dehydrogenation tech

In Texas, KBR and ExxonMobil Catalysts and Licensing LLC are working together to bring advancements to propane dehydrogenation (PDH) technology. Under the collaboration, ExxonMobil’s new proprietary catalyst technology will be combined with KBR’s proprietary K-PRO Propane Dehydrogenation technology to convert propane into propylene.

The combined tech solution could offer financial savings compared to PDH technologies currently available.

“KBR’s K-PRO technology and our next generation catalyst are a great fit and our collaboration with KBR will significantly help to reduce time to commercialize our next generation catalyst for PDH,” said James Ritchie, President of ExxonMobil Catalysts and Licensing LLC.
