Summary
Several oil industry officials said although there are two other refineries in Canada that re-refine used motor oil, they convert it into a new oil product, not diesel fuel. The executive director of the industry-sponsored organization that runs the province's oil recovery program -- Manitoba Association for Resource Recovery Corp. (MARRC) -- said the HD-Petroleum refinery will be a welcome development for the province.
"This is solid. This is a good thing," Ron Benson said. "Any time we can have another approved, licensed place to send our used oil, it's a good thing. And it's in Manitoba, so that's more good news."Aside from the new jobs that are created, "just getting that (used motor oil) out of the area and turning it into usable diesel fuel is a plus," [Reeve Roger Vermette] said. He said he understands a number of local trucking companies have already agreed to buy diesel fuel from the refinery, "so it should be a win-win for everyone."See the full content of this document
