Qenos will begin its final shutdown on 30th September 2024, in two phases: Plant Operations shutdown and Plant Makesafe.
During the Plant Operations shutdown, there will be intermittent flaring as the Qenos Olefins plant winds down over 7 to 10 days. Qenos will actively manage the flare to minimize its impact on our neighbours, with an emphasis on reducing flaring as far as practical at night.
The Plant Makesafe phase will involve round-the-clock work, with a focus on noise minimisation during night hours. Low-level flaring will continue until February 2025, with occasional higher flaring for specific tasks. Night-time flaring will be managed to minimize disruption.
Regular updates on potential community impacts, such as noise or odour, will be posted on the Qenos Altona Facebook page. Link https://www.facebook.com/share/p/noXUxXVyPGW3pdu9/
