Presentation Overview
Join the ISA Edmonton Section on Monday, February 24 for our first technical talk of 2020... Hear from John Kulka, Automation Manager for the Inter Pipeline Heartland Petrochemical Project! The first of its kind in Canada, the Heartland Petrochemical Complex will be designed to convert locally sourced, low-cost propane into 525,000 tonnes per year of polypropylene, a high value, easy to transport plastic used in the manufacturing of a wide range of finished products.
Construction of the complex is now underway with completion scheduled for late 2021. Consisting of a propane dehydrogenation (PDH) and a polypropylene (PP) facility, the Complex will cost approximately $3.5 billion and will be located in Strathcona County, Alberta, near Inter Pipeline’s existing Redwater Olefinic Fractionator.
