Nova greenlights cracker expansion, new PE plant in Sarnia

摘要

Nova Chemicals (Calgary, Alberta) says it will proceed with a C$2 billion ($1.6 billion) plan to expand the capacity of its Corunna cracker at Sarnia, Ontario, by 50% and to build downstream a 450,000 metric tons/year polyethylene (PE) plant based on the company’s Advanced Sclairtech technology. Site preparations are under way, and Nova expects to bring the two projects online in late 2021.
