The annual design production capacity of E3 totals 2.8 billion pounds* and is divided between Dow and Nova. Nova's share is 50%. Feedstcok is ethane. (Source)
*1,270 tonnes (of ethylene).Using Stone & Webster technology, the E3 furnaces are the largest ethane crackers in the world. The seven furnaces will produce 2.8 billion lb/year of ethylene. Comparably, E1's and E2's 20 furnaces produce 3.4 billion lb/year. A new pipeline will also ship E3 ethylene 100 miles north to supply Dow Chemical Canada and Shell Chemical Canada petrochemical facilities near Edmonton. Nova Chemicals' PE2 and PE1 plants will consume most of the remaining E3 production. Propylene and other coproducts will be shipped by rail to other Canadian and U.S. markets. (Source)
