A new piece of equipment is just over a month away from being installed at the Irving Oil Refinery.
Pre-dressing of the dehexanizer column, which includes among other things, the installation of heat tracing, insulation & cladding continues.
It's expected the unit will be installed by early October with it scheduled to go on line by the middle of next year.
The new piece of equipment is expected to reduce benzene content in gasoline produced by the refinery by approximately 30 per cent and cost $99 million dollars.
