CANADA, SK, REGINA, NOVEMBER 21 2014. UPDATE: LEAK FOUND AT CO-OP REFINERY IN REGINA. A SECTION WAS SHUT DOWN.
A leak at the Consumers Co-op Refinery in Regina caused a few
tense moments Wednesday afternoon. Brad DeLorey with the refinery says at
around 1:45 p.m., a flange connector of a pipe was discovered to be leaking.
"We immediately activated a stage-one alarm as a precautionary safety
procedure in order to gather all the contractors at their muster points."
DeLorey says the area surrounding the leak was considered to be safe at 3:30
p.m. The coker unit in section two was
brought into a controlled shut down, but will be back up and running Friday
morning at the earliest. DeLorey says no one was hurt by the leak. Since 2011 there have been four fires at the
refinery, including an explosion last Christmas Eve and one that sent eight
workers to hospital in 2011.
