North Pole Refinery Equipment Deployment

ACN responder conducting boom deployment training with refinery personnel.

In August, ACN personnel traveled to Fairbanks, AK to conduct equipment maintenance at our response hub and participate in an exercise with the Petro Star North Star refinery.  The scenario was based on a discharge into a large pond on the refinery property.  ACN crew assisted in training refinery personnel in how to safely respond to such an incident per the scenario.
