Start-up Year: -
The Brazeau River gas plant, located approximately 170 kilometres southwest of Edmonton, Alberta, has the capability and flexibility to process a wide range of sweet and sour gas streams with varying levels of NGL content. Its process includes inlet compression, sour gas sweetening, dehydration, NGL recovery and acid gas injection. The raw inlet capacity is 6,180 103m3/day maximum, while the sulphur maximum inlet is 466 tonnes/day. The facility was built in 1968 following discovery of the Brazeau River Gas Unit #1. In July 2004, Spectra Energy commissioned Brazeau northeast gas gathering system (BNEGGS), while an acid gas injection system was commissioned in late 2002, reducing sulphur emissions and increasing sour gas handling capacity. In 2007, the company acquired a 38 km, 8 inch sales gas pipeline running northeast of the plant for low pressure sweet gas and in 2008 Keyera purchases Spectra Energy’s interest in the plant and gathering system (Brazeau River Gas Gathering System). In 2011, Keyera completed project to improve NGL recoveries at the plant, with the next turnaround scheduled for 2015.
