CB&I announces startup of polypropylene technology pilot plant
THE WOODLANDS, Texas -- CB&I announced the inauguration of its Novolen technology polypropylene pilot plant, a new section of its Research and Development (R&D) center in Pasadena, Texas.
The pilot plant will play a key role in the development and commercialization of new products and catalysts, keeping CB&I on the cutting edge of R&D for licensed technology and innovation. The pilot plant will also play an essential role in testing catalyst systems developed in CB&I's laboratories.
