| The above piece, a 405 ton containment vessel loaded in Kobe, Japan, was taken off the Daniella on Sunday, August 3, 2008. It was placed onto a special double rail car that will shortly leave for a ConocoPhillips refinery project in Billings. It is a hydro treatment reactor, a pressurized vessel that, along with high temperatures and an added catalyst, can extract sulfur from crude oil, providing a cleaner end product. Carl Siroky, the project manager for ConocoPhillips in Billings, was in town overseeing the cargo transfer. He described it as an EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) regulation driven project. Above, it is seen on Tuesday evening, August 5th after it was pulled from the dock at Lake Superior Warehousing. It is expected to depart Duluth for Billings on Thursday. |
