Keyera Corp. announced a long-term, fee-for-service agreement to provide sulphur handling and forming services at its Strachan gas plant to Suncor Energy.

This agreement underpins planned modifications to the sulphur receipt and forming facilities at the Strachan gas plant, including the replacement of the existing sulphur forming facility with a new 1,500 tonne per day sulphur forming and degassing unit. This new unit will use patented technology developed by Brimrock Group Inc. to provide for more efficient conversion of molten sulphur into solid, premium sulphur granules. Keyera will also be expanding its molten sulphur rail off-loading capability and adding incremental de-gassing and storage capacity to the site.

Suncor will be bringing the sulphur to the Strachan plant from its facilities in the Fort McMurray area for processing. The volumes to be delivered under the agreement are expected to utilize over half of the sulphur forming capacity at the Strachan plant, with the balance of the capacity being available to support the plant's sour gas processing operations and to provide sulphur handling and forming services for other potential customers.
