March 31, 2011 - Agrium plans to cut sulphur dioxide emissions from
its two sulphuric acid units at its Redwater fertilizer plant by roughly a
third. The company's $800,000
project will reduce emissions at the plant by 215 metric tonnes a year from
its current 690 metric tonnes a year.
The company made the announcement in response to a report by the Fort Air
Partnership saying the plant had exceeded provincial guidelines on a number
of occasions last year. The Fort Air
Partnership operates an air quality monitoring station at the fenceline of
the fertilizer plant. The province's
air quality guidelines are different from the facility's permitted emissions
limits, which have not been violated over the course of the report's time
frame.
The guideline numbers are an indication of the level of emissions
Environment Alberta regards as desirable and are generally lower than the
maximum levels the facility may have been allowed to emit when the plant was
first built. Agrium submitted an
emission reduction plan to the province in April 2010 and intends to
implement the first phase of the program during a maintenance shutdown
scheduled for 2012. |
