Chemtrade Logistics Income Fund Provides Update on Beaumont Plant

Expects Plant Back Online by October; Customer Supply Arrangements in Place

TORONTO, June 15 /CNW/ - Chemtrade Logistics Income Fund (TSX: CHE.UN) today provided an update on the situation at its Beaumont, Texas plant following a fire at the plant on May 15, 2010.

    
    -   Chemtrade currently expects the plant to be back online before the
        end of October.

    -   Chemtrade has arrangements in place ensuring that its customers will
        remain supplied with sulphuric acid and spent acid regeneration
        services through the duration of the repairs.

    -   Chemtrade carries both property and business interruption insurance.
        While the amounts of any recoveries under these insurance policies
        cannot be determined until the investigation is complete and repairs
        are made, Chemtrade expects to recover substantially all of its costs
        and lost profits.

    -   The Fund believes that the incident at the Beaumont plant will not
        impact its ability to sustain its monthly distributions.
    

Mark Davis, President and Chief Executive Officer of Chemtrade, said, "The investigation team now believes that the source of the fire was in a newly installed piece of equipment. From our customers' perspective, we have ensured that this incident will not affect them and that we will continue to provide the products and services they require." Mr. Davis added, "The interruption to Beaumont's production is disappointing since the plant had been operating very well since completing a significant capital re-investment program. We remain committed to the future of our Beaumont plant. We will repair the damage quickly, and continue to invest in the plant's reliability and efficiency."

Chemtrade is one of North America's largest suppliers of sulphuric acid, sulphur, liquid sulphur dioxide and sodium hydrosulphite, and a leading processor of spent acid.
