Under the agreement, KBR will lead the sale and delivery of all TRIG licenses worldwide while SGT will provide operating and engineering expertise along with ongoing research and development and technical support.
Currently, KBR is a technology licensor of TRIG processes for industrial applications and SGT is a technology licensor of TRIG for the power industry.
KBR chairman, president and CEO Bill Utt said the latest collaboration will utilize the respective strengths of each company to deploy commercial TRIG licensed processes across the world.
"Expanding the licensing rights of the technology to encompass power projects now positions KBR into a larger market," Utt added.
"This agreement expands KBR’s Technology Business Unit portfolio and is consistent with KBR’s strategy to grow its technology business consistent with the needs of the market."
Southern Company chairman, president and CEO Thomas A Fanning said, "Through our continued collaboration with KBR, we are developing and making available real solutions to generate clean, safe, reliable and affordable power – across America and around the world."
