Corunna Cracker Expansion Phase 3 Furnaces

Kent, in consortium with TechnipFMC, has been awarded an EPC contract to supply NOVA Chemicals with two gas cracking furnaces.

This award supports the third phase of the conversion and expansion of NOVA Chemicals’ Corunna cracker, increasing the unit’s ethylene capacity by more than 50%. Prior to this EPC award, TechnipFMC provided the associated process technology under a separate licensing agreement with NOVA Chemicals; both TechnipFMC and Kent supported NOVA Chemicals in the front-end engineering (EDS / FEED) development for the gas cracking furnaces.

TechnipFMC has the primary responsibility for the detailed engineering and procurement aspects of the work, while Kent is responsible for the modular fabrication, erection, construction and pre-commissioning of the work.

TechnipFMC and Kent, provide the detailed engineering, procurement, fabrication, transportation, and field erection of all elements described in the FEED package.
