Bulk Petroleum Transportation Terminal

Advanced Infrastructure for Evolving Demand

Rail terminal expansion in Port Arthur, Texas designed to handle Refinery Grade Propylene and Polymer Grade Propylene including rail car trans-loading spots, pressurized storage bullets and associated pipelines and pumps to connect a Client's terminal to one of the world's largest chemical companies.

As a full-service multidisciplinary team, LDIS provided engineering and design of the entire rail terminal facility. The proposed project was located on a decommissioned gasoline and diesel rail offloading terminal. LDIS completed a laser scan of the site and performed detailed integrity analysis of existing equipment and infrastructure for re-use, reducing overall capital costs. LDIS designed the new Propylene system consisting of a new rail spur, eight rail car unloading stations, two rail car loading stations, three double-acting vapor compressors, two 675 HP vertical turbine pumps, two 105,000 gallon storage bullets, a vapor combustion unit,  a 1250 kVA transformer, and necessary electrical switchgear, VFDs, PLC, RIOs and instrumentation.  

This comprehensive solution demonstrates our engineering excellence and ability to provide tailored, scalable, solutions delivering safe, efficient terminal infrastructure projects.
