Hi,
It was before Agrium time. An accident happened with upstream check valve sending some part into compressor wings to damage them. Could you send some details about it. Which compressor and how.
Hi Archie,
I have to admit I don’t know about that. There was a derailment of LPG and ammonia rail cars back in 1999, but that wasn’t on the Joffre site – other than that, I can’t find information about any accidents having to do with this plant. Do you have any more information about it?
Best,
T.
