Residents around Mossmorran have been informed that there will be flaring at the site today (Tuesday).
It's taking place for the second day in a row, due to planned work at Shell’s Fife Natural Gas Liquids (NGL) plant.
A statement from the company’s plant manager, Tyne Bradley said: “I want to assure the community that the work has been carefully planned for, and we expect the controlled use of the flares to be during daylight hours, aiming to keep any impact minimal.
“We have informed the regulator SEPA.”
It follows several days of flaring at the start of the month over at ExxonMobil’s Fife Ethylene Plant, which permanently halted production on February 2.
