KBR Delivers AI-Powered Operations and Engineering Solution to Enhance Plant Performance at Indorama

  • KBR deployed its KBR INSITE AI solution across Indorama Corporation's ammonia and olefins process units in Nigeria.
  • The platform utilizes physics-informed AI & historical plant data to autonomously monitor asset performance, identify optimization opportunities, & provide explainable insights.
  • KBR INSITE integrates Applied Computing's Orbital AI to create a world model for ammonia that learns cause & effect across the entire plant rather than just data patterns.
  • This integration allows for faster deployment, reducing the time from contract signature to a live model delivering value.
  • Hari Ravindran of KBR stated the solution helps Indorama increase plant throughput, improve asset availability, & support reliable operations.
  • Deepu Sivdas of Indorama noted the system enhances reliability, efficiency, & profitability by identifying energy optimization opportunities & developing root cause analysis.
  • Egypt Basic Industries Corporation (EBIC) signed an agreement to implement KBR INSITE at its plant with a target live date by year-end.
  • This expansion supports KBR's strategy to deploy physics-informed AI solutions globally following its earlier investment in Applied Computing.
  • KBR plans to spin off its Mission Technology Solutions business into an independent public company named Trinzic in January 2027.
  • Applied Computing raised a $20 million Series A round led by KBR in July 2026 to further develop its energy operations AI.
