TransAlta fire cuts steam to Suncor refinery

July 20, 2012:

TransAlta Corp said there were no injuries from a morning fire at its 506-megawatt natural gas-fired co-generation plant at Sarnia, Ont., and it expects operations to resume around noon on Thursday. Peter Smith, TransAlta’s director of commercial management for Eastern Canada said the fire has cut steam supply to Suncor Energy Inc’s 85,000-barrel-per-day Sarnia refinery. Suncor could not be immediately reached for comment on whether the reduction in steam will affect its operations at the refinery.
