What is the proposed project?
Keyera Energy Ltd. is proposing the construction, operation, decommissioning and abandonment of a new refinery in Alberta's Industrial Heartland, about 22 kilometres northeast of Edmonton, Alberta. As proposed, the Josephburg Condensate Fractionation Project would separate condensate into various hydrocarbon products, such as light and midweight condensates, liquid petroleum gas and other hydrocarbon products. The various hydrocarbon products would be processed using heat. The project would have an input capacity of 15,900 m³/day. Project components would include a condensate distillation area, water treatment area, storage tanks, flare, stormwater pond and access roads.
