US-based KBR, a leading engineering and technology firm, will provide its proprietary Ammonia Process and related engineering services to revamp the North Fertiliser Plant in Baiji, Iraq.

The revamp contract from First Global Company will aim to increase the plant capacity to 120 percent of the original design.
