I just got back from Fort McMurray yesterday. I work up there once a month.

If you think thats big - you should see the size of the refinery.

A coker or coker unit is an oil refinery processing unit that converts the residual oil from the vacuum distillation column or the atmospheric distillation column into low molecular weight hydrocarbon gases, naphtha, light and heavy gas oils, and petroleum coke. The process thermally cracks the long chain hydrocarbon molecules in the residual oil feed into shorter chain molecules.

TT?

The top speed is very slow. By car, its roughly 5-6 hours from Edmonton to Fort McMurray - but I believe something like this takes 5-6 days to get there.

I have no idea about twins on that truck. I know some of the bigger Industrial Cummins engines have 4 turbos on them.
