AREMA 2014 Draft Manuscript Submission Utica East Ohio Midstream, LLC Harrison Hub Fractionation Facility August 4, 2014

摘要

The Harrison Hub Fractionation Facility is a midstream facility that receives a compressed liquid gas via pipeline that is later separated into different liquid gas products (propane, ethane, butane, C5+ or natural gasoline). The 594-acre state-of-the-art fractionation facility is located in Scio, Harrison County, Ohio and is expected to handle a capacity of loading over 120 rail cars per day. With large amounts of loaded cars leaving this facility daily, it was designed to optimize the rail operations by minimizing the amount of car movements and utilizing block swapping and pre-staging/pre-sorting. All of the different products are stored in tanks and loaded onto trucks and rail cars. The rail design of Harrison Hub Facility consists of six (6) receiving and departing tracks, four (4) loading tracks, and five (5) dedicated storage tracks totaling 25 turnouts, two (2) crossovers, and over 10 miles of track. Harrison Hub Fractionation Facility features: 1. Over one and a half million cubic yards of earthwork was moved in phases 1 and 2 to accommodate this Facility 2. Covered multi-product rail load out facility with numerous railcar loading spots 3. Locomotive fueling, servicing and railcar maintenance facilities This facility has been operational since July 2013 and Phase 2 expansion opened in May 2014 which expanded their operations to an even larger scale. The facility utilizes cutting edge technology including steel ties, automated car tracking and advanced loading programs to increase operational efficiencies.
