A second piece of petrochemical development equipment is making its way to a refinery near Fort Saskatchewan in Alberta’s Industrial Heartland.
It comes less than two weeks after a massive ‘splitter’ made its way along the same route.

The second piece of equipment is called a de-ethanizer stripper and weighs approximately 682 tonnes and is about 63-metres long.
The stripper separates ethane from liquid natural gas to be reused elsewhere in the refining process or for other petrochemical products.
The massive move began Saturday night from Dacro Industries in south Edmonton. It’s expected to take approximately four days to complete the move.
Motorists are being advised of travel disruptions that might occur during the move.

The credits, to be paid out after the facilities are operating, can’t be used directly by the petrochemical facilities, but they can be sold to oil or natural gas producers to reduce their provincial royalty payments.
