Member companies ACD and Cryoquip of Cryogenic Industries, a CSA corporate sustaining member, contributed their expertise to building the world’s largest single-unit air separation plant. The Long Lake Project is a joint venture between OPTI Canada Inc. and Nexen to produce a premium synthetic crude. The project will produce and upgrade bitumen into a high value synthetic crude oil at a significant cost advantage over competitive technologies, by virtually eliminating the need for externally purchased natural gas. Commissioning is expected in early 2007.
