The expansion project will include addition of a propane de-ethanizer, additional salt dome storage at Mont Belvieu, refrigeration, and other equipment required to load 5,000+ Bbl/h of fully refrigerated, low ethane propane for export at the terminal.
The expansion will allow the firm to load three to four very large gas carrier class ships per month. and is in addition to its existing capabilities to handle multiple medium gas carrier export cargos.
The expansion project is expected to be operational in the third quarter of 2013.
The Galena Park marine terminal operates on the Houston Ship Channel and is integrated with its NGL fractionation and storage operations at Mont Belvieu through an existing pipeline network.
