DAVENPORT, FL (DTN) --- Irving Oil confirmed planned 30-day turnaround late
summer-early fall at its 320,000 bpd Saint John refinery in New Brunswick,
Canada. The website indicates the will begin the second week of September and
conclude by Oct. 10.
The maintenance will run alongside the previously announced $100 million
upgrade to the refinery's fluid catalytic cracking unit. On June 5, the company
said work would be completed in a phased approach over the summer and fall,
beginning that month. The privately funded FCCU modernization project, named
the FCCU Revamp Project, will mark substantial upgrades to the unit to maximize
performance, efficiency and reliability.
The Saint John refinery is the largest in Canada and produces a wide range
of refined petroleum products, including gasoline, diesel, heating oil, jet
fuel, and propane. It plays a key role in supplying energy to Atlantic Canada
and the Northeast U.S.
According to the company, the turnaround and FCCU revamp are intended to
support the continued safety, quality, and reliability of the facility's
infrastructure.
Sources noted the scheduled nature of the turnaround means supply
disruptions to the U.S. market are unlikely, with buyers expected to have
planned accordingly.
