The government of Alberta has approved a $ 408-million (Can.) grant under its Alberta Petrochemicals Incentive Program (APIP) to support Calgary-based Inter Pipeline Ltd.’s Heartland Petrochemical Complex (HPC)—Canada’s first integrated propane dehydrogenation (PDH) and polypropylene (PP) complex—now under construction in Strathcona County, Alta. Inter Pipeline will receive the cash grant in equal installments over 3 years once the HPC reaches startup and becomes operational, which currently is scheduled for 2022. Formally started in December 2017, the HPC is under construction near Inter Pipeline’s Redwater Olefinic Fractionator (ROF) which has a capacity to fractionate about 40 kbpd of ethane-plus mixture and will include an integrated PDH and PP plant designed to convert 22 kbpd of locally sourced propane feedstock from ROF and several other third-party fractionators in the region into 525 kta of polymer-grade PP mostly for sale to the US.
