The Parkland Burnaby Refinery experienced a minor upset with a piece of equipment, which resulted in temporary elevated flaring this morning. We will be taking some refinery processing units offline to conduct minor maintenance on this equipment over the course of the week. During this time, nearby residents may notice a higher-than-normal flare and potential noise from the flaring.

On September 26, 2024, a third-party propane transporter will be conducting a product transfer between two of their transport tanks at the refinery, overseen by regulatory bodies. This process, which will occur over the next 24-72 hours, has a small potential to produce odours and flaring through a temporary, portable flare, but poses no risk to the community.

If you have any concerns, please contact our Community Relations team at 1-604-257-4040 or [email protected]. You can also visit our Burnaby Refinery website at www.burnabyrefinery.ca.

Earlier this morning the refinery experienced a temporary operational issue that produced elevated flaring. Throughout today, you may notice instances of elevated flaring as we bring the Refinery back to normal operation.

Following a severe and prolonged cold snap in January this year, the Burnaby Refinery experienced an operational event involving the Fluid Catalytic Cracking Unit.

The refinery team responded swiftly and effectively to ensure the safety of the community and integrity of our operations.

We have since completed a comprehensive review of the matter, identifying key factors that contributed to the event as well as additional learnings related to our response to the event.

Notice of Work

When: Beginning July 25, 2024, we anticipate this work may take between 2 and 4 weeks to complete.

Thank you for your patience over the past several weeks. We have now successfully and safely restarted the refinery, and it has returned to normal operations.

During this process, your safety and well-being were top of mind. We moved through our restart process slowly and implemented several additional measures to mitigate any potential impacts.

We continue to progress through start up activities at the Refinery this weekend. Throughout this process, we anticipate that there may be periods of elevated flaring and potential for odours, noise and smoke. Round-the-clock monitoring of odours remains throughout the restart process. The flare is also monitored 24/7 by our expert teams, and we have mitigation plans in place to minimize the potential impacts on our neighbours. The flare is an important safety measure and environmental control tool that keeps our facility running safely.

We have begun heating the processing systems which is an essential step to get everything up to the right temperature before we start feeding crude oil into the refinery. During this time, there will be periods of elevated flaring, and some potential for odours, noise and smoke. Additional third-party air monitoring will be deployed to complement existing regulatory systems, with round-the-clock monitoring throughout the restart process.

We continue to work closely with our regulators, stakeholders, and community neighbours, and will provide ongoing updates as we progress work.

Today, we continued with our controlled and necessary operational procedure at the Burnaby Refinery. Third-party air monitoring, which was established around the community before work began, reported that air quality objective levels were within regulatory standards, and no smoke was produced from the stack. Additional air monitoring, which supplements the existing regulatory systems, continues to be in place as we progress with our multi-day procedure. We continue to work closely with our regulators, stakeholders, and community neighbours as we complete this work.

As you know from our communications yesterday, the Burnaby Refinery began a controlled and necessary operational procedure this morning. Before work began, we set up extra third-party air monitoring in the surrounding area. Their reports show the air quality objective levels were within regulatory standards. A minimal amount of smoke was produced from the stack. Additional air monitoring, which supplements the existing regulatory systems, continues to be in place as this is a multi-day procedure. We continue to work closely with our regulators, stakeholders and community neighbours as we complete this work.

Starting Thursday morning, January 25, 2024, we are conducting a controlled and necessary operational procedure as the first step in the safe restart of the Refinery. With our community neighbours in mind, we are informing the public that tomorrow’s multi-day procedure may be noticeable.

As always, our goal is to have minimal impact on our neighbours and nearby communities. However, you may notice increased odour, flaring, and visible smoke over the next few days. We are working closely with our regulators and stakeholders as we advance this procedure, and are taking extra precautionary steps by enlisting third-party air monitoring to supplement the systems currently in place.

Please be advised of a controlled shutdown of processing operations at the Burnaby refinery. This shutdown will commence on Sunday evening (January 21). During shutdown, there is a possibility of increased flaring and noise.

Please be advised that earlier this morning, the Burnaby Refinery experienced an issue in one of its processing units. Parkland’s initial response vehicles were on site immediately as was Burnaby Fire Department and the RCMP. No injuries have been reported at this time. Neighbours in the community may notice elevated smoke, odours and particulate matter. The Refinery’s Incident Command is working to resolve this temporary issue.

Please be advised that neighbours and communities around the Burnaby Refinery may continue to notice a higher than usual flare and potential intermittent noise over the next several days as start up activities progress.

Due to unseasonably cold temperatures, we are experiencing disruption in unit operations at the Parkland Burnaby Refinery. Neighbours and communities around the Burnaby Refinery may notice a higher than usual flare and potential intermittent noise from the flaring. This may continue for the next several days.
