CB&I today announced the inauguration of its Novolen® technology polypropylene pilot plant, a new section of its world class 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.
