NOVA Chemicals uses state-of-the-art facilities to support our technological advancements in the polyolefins and styrenics fields. Facilities and techniques are continuously upgraded to ensure our results are accurate, cost-effective and commercially valuable.
Olefins/Polyolefins
Complementing NOVA Chemicals' R&D efforts is a variety of testing and scale-up equipment for the evaluation of catalysts, processes and products. Continued investment in modeling and simulation tools, and their application to technology programs, enables improved effectiveness and reduction in technology development cycle time. Piloting facilities at the NOVA Chemicals Research and Technology Centre (Calgary), at our Advanced SCLAIRTECHTM Technology Pilot Plant (Sarnia, Ontario), and through shared facilities with partners such as Innovene, are supported by a variety of semi-commercial-scale fabrication lines at NOVA Chemicals Technical Centre (Calgary). This enables us to develop specific product solutions and to test new products and applications for our customers.
