Suncor Energys Odyssey Project focused on upgrading the Commerce City, Colorado refinery to produce products that meet the newly regulated emission levels for low sulphur diesel fuel. The refinery provides a vital link between the companys large scale oil sands resource base and the growing energy market. 

The Commerce City plant is a major supplier of gasoline and diesel for the area and jet fuel for Denver International Airport. The renovations major emphases were safety and maintenance. Hot-dip galvanized steel has a proven track record in the Petro-Chemical industry and is the industrys coating of choice. Galvanized steel is the only coating that has been able to hold up to the corrosiveness and abrasiveness of refined oil sands. The turnaround time for this project was critical as it required the shutdown of two operations. Hot-dip galvanized steels naturally quick turnaround time meant the galvanized steel was there on time, every time. The Odyssey Project is a prime example of how hot-dip galvanized steel is up to the challenge of short deadlines. The hot-dip galvanized steel also ensures Suncors vital link in Commerce City will continue to function safely and without maintenance interruptions for generations.
