about us

Established in 1973

Since our beginning in 1973 with two production units, Cancarb has brought quality and dependability to customers throughout the world.  Now with 6 production units, thermal carbon black production from natural gas continues to be all that we do.  With a constant focus by the entire team on quality, sustainability, and reliability, we have Thermax® where you want it, when you want it.

Being accountable to our planet is important to us and we take it seriously.  From continual yield improvement initiatives to reduce, reuse & recycle programs, we are acting every day to ensure a healthy planet for future generations.  We even use the heat from our production process to create high pressure steam that we use to generate electricity that powers approximately 20% of the City of Medicine Hat.  This results in a reduction of approximately 90,000 tons of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions that would otherwise be needed to satisfy that power demand.

We will never stop working to improve!

Announcement on Cancarb Plant Operations

September 20 – October 10, 2024

The Cancarb Carbon and Power Plant will be offline from September 20, 2024 for planned maintenance. As a result, waste heat is being exhausted intermittently through reactor bypass stacks to atmosphere. This outage involves major maintenance projects for both the Carbon and Power Plants. The maintenance work is expected to be completed by approximately October 10th at which time the main bypass stack will be closed and the waste heat directed to steam generation.
