The new plant features sophisticated alarm and environmental protection measures. New bulk plant nears completion TERRACE — The first sbip- ment by rail of petroleum for the expanded Imperial Oil bulk plant here is expected soon. I'll mark the end of the compa- ny trucking the product here from Prince Rupert after it has been barged up from a Vancouver refinery. Instead, the company will be shipping its product by rail from an Edmonton refinery. The last barge shipment was due over the weekend. The changeover has been ac- companied by a $3 million pro- gram to increase the size of the bulk plant and to make substan- tial improvements to the way it operates, There is also a change in the way Imperial Oil will do business here because of the size of its new plant. ; Responsibility for the bulk plant has been shifted from Imperial agent Cole Petroleums to Im- perial Oil, says new bulk plant manager Allen Pos. “Cole Petroleums will remain {he agent and will handle the customers,” he said. : Pos calls the new bulk plant set up extremely automated in terms of unloading from tank cars and loading for delivery and sophisti- cated in terms of environmental protection. The four new tanks, for in- stance, are surrounded by a berm that can contain a spill equivalent to the volume of the largest of the ianks plus 10 per cent of the ca- pacity of the remainder. An intricate series of alarms will give notice of spills, fires and intruders. The gates will automatically open in case there is a fire so that fire trucks have immediate access to the site. “We've been working with (city fire chief} Bob Beckett on developing plans to bandle any- thing from fires to spills, kidnap- pings, extortion, lightning and earthquakes,’’ said Pos. A video camera system will provide a permanent record of all events. The expanded ‘plant will also handle storage for Shell Canada products, . Although base petroleum is es- sentially the same, Imperial and Shell will mix in their own addi- tives at the plant.
