English term or phrase: covered railcar
Petroleum coke is created by coking (i.e. heating in the absence of air) the heaviest layer of product produced by oil refineries. It is proposed that petroleum coke for the process will be shipped to the facility from Alberta in covered railcars. In order to receive approval for construction and operation of the plant, the project would require the preparation of an environmental assessment in accordance with the Environmental Assessment Act.
