Irving Oil launches $220M refinery refit

摘要

Work is well underway by Irving Oil on one of the most significant investments ever conducted at its flagship Saint John refinery in New Brunswick, a 60-day project that is expected to employ 1,800 tradespeople at peak times, with a total investment of approximately $220 million. The investment will strengthen the refinery's ability to serve markets in Atlantic Canada and the U.S. Northeast through improving the facility's yield or conversion to higher grade fuels such as ultra-low sulphur gasoline. This will be accomplished by the project's work on the residue catalytic cracking unit and gasoline desulphurization unit, representing an investment of $170 million to enhance the processing reliability and efficiency of those units.
