Weighing 317 metric tons and coming in at close to 20 stories high, it is hard to miss a new piece of equipment at the Irving Oil Refinery.
It's called a Dehexanizer will isolate components of gasoline that produce benzene to cut content by 30%.
Spokes-person Glen Kettlewell tells CHSJ News, this unit is state of the art and a further committment to both the area and the industry to make high quality products.
Kettlewell says the unit is scheduled to go on-line by the end of June and comes from Korea where it took a year to build.
