CALGARY, Feb. 21, 2017 /CNW/ - Keyera Corp. (TSX:KEY) ("Keyera") announced today that its Alberta EnviroFuels facility ("AEF" or "the Facility") located in Edmonton, Alberta has been shut down for repairs following an operational issue that developed this past weekend. Upon initial investigation, Keyera identified a damaged piece of equipment that will require repair before operations can resume. While Keyera's repair strategy is intended to minimize the amount of downtime, AEF is currently expected to be offline for approximately one month, followed by its standard multi-day start-up period once repairs are complete.
