CAER Community Awareness Notification – Shell

Incident Details: This is a message from the Shell Manufacturing Centre in Corunna for Tuesday, March 22. SMC is transitioning into its largest turnaround ever in the site's 70 year history. A turnaround is a period of planned maintenance in a refinery, during which parts of the operation are off lined while they are inspected and revamped. The 2022 Turnaround event is instrumental in setting SMC up for safe and reliable production going forward. As a result of work at site, a number of units will be taken off line over the next few weeks and then returned to service once maintenance is complete. Unit shut down and return to service will result in periods of elevated flaring and could result in associated increased noise levels. It is important to note the flare system is a process safety device at the refinery and is a normal and vital part of unit shutdown and start-up activities. All safety precautions and standard regulatory protocols are being followed. Should you have questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact the refinery at 519-481-1245.
