Trail, BC– Teck Trail Operations has completed construction of the No. 1 Acid Plant, which has now commenced operation and is operating at design rates. The new acid plant improves environmental performance, operational reliability and reduces downtime and maintenance costs. The new plant is expected to reduce sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions from Trail Operations by up to 15 percent.

“安全是泰克的核心价值。我们的员工和承包商合作伙伴在该项目上证明了这一价值，该项目的完工没有造成任何损失，”泰克Trail Operations总经理Greg Belland说。“这座新工厂提供的环境和运营改善将支持试运行的长期可行性。”

The No. 1 Acid Plant replaces two older plants on the zinc processing side of the operation.
