The acid gas mix\u00acture is burned with large amounts of air to generate high tem\u00acperatures of 1200 C (2192 F) for the sulphur re\u00acactions to occur with minimal tail gases, achieving sulphur plant efficiency in excess of 99%, world class, despite the Plant\u2019s 50 year age. The tail gases that remain, consisting of Carbon Dioxide, Sulphur Dioxide and water are incinerated in a 107 meter (350 foot) in\u00accinerator stack. The stack top temperature is maintained at 450 C (842F) which is closely monitored so that the air emissions are as low as possible, thus enabling optimum sulphur recovery and ensuring we meet and exceed our air license, with the Alberta Government. The Sulphur is trucked in molten form to a local rail terminal where it is shipped to domestic and world markets primarily for fertilizer markets.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 40px;\"><span style=\"color: #05416f;\"><strong>Control Systems:<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nThe Plant and field facilities are controlled by a central computer or Distributed Control System (DCS) that controls key portions of the plant by maintaining proper temperatures, pressures and flow rates ensuring plant safety and efficiency.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-4 fusion-flex-container nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling fusion-no-small-visibility\" style=\"--awb-border-radius-top-left:0px;--awb-border-radius-top-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-left:0px;--awb-margin-bottom:-80px;--awb-flex-wrap:wrap;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row fusion-flex-align-items-flex-start fusion-flex-content-wrap\" style=\"max-width:1323px;margin-left: calc(-5% \/ 2 );margin-right: calc(-5% \/ 2 );\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-7 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:100%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:2.375%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:20px;--awb-spacing-left-large:2.375%;--awb-width-medium:100%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:2.375%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:2.375%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:2.375%;--awb-spacing-left-small:2.375%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-builder-row-inner fusion-row fusion-flex-align-items-flex-start fusion-flex-content-wrap\" style=\"width:105% !important;max-width:105% !important;margin-left: calc(-5% \/ 2 );margin-right: calc(-5% \/ 2 );\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column_inner fusion-builder-nested-column-5 fusion_builder_column_inner_1_2 1_2 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:50%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:4.75%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:20px;--awb-spacing-left-large:4.75%;--awb-width-medium:100%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:2.375%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:2.375%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:2.375%;--awb-spacing-left-small:2.375%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column_inner fusion-builder-nested-column-6 fusion_builder_column_inner_1_2 1_2 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:50%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:4.75%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:20px;--awb-spacing-left-large:4.75%;--awb-width-medium:100%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:2.375%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:2.375%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:2.375%;--awb-spacing-left-small:2.375%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-5 fusion-no-small-visibility\" style=\"--awb-text-transform:none;--awb-text-color:var(--awb-color8);\"><p style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/caledonianmidstream.ca\/\/index.php\/moose-mclean\/\">Moose Mountain &amp;
