Tidewater Renewables Ltd. announced Dec. 16 that it has safely completed the planned seven-day outage to reinstall the repaired component at its renewable diesel and renewable hydrogen complex in Prince George, British Columbia, Canada.

The renewables complex experienced a short, unplanned outage from Oct. 15 to Oct. 29 due to an identified equipment anomaly.

The issue was temporarily repaired and the affected component was sent offsite to be rebuilt.

With the temporary repair in place, utilization averaged approximately 2,250 barrels (94,500 gallons) per day from Nov. 1 until the commencement of the planned outage on Dec. 6.

During the planned outage, the temporary repair was removed and the rebuilt component was safely installed.

The outage was completed Dec. 12 and utilization at the renewables complex has steadily increased back to full capacity of 3,000 barrels (126,000 gallons) per day.
