The partnership stated in a press release that the loading rate has been increased to 27,500 barrels per hour (BPH) capacity from 16,500 BPH. It was boosted through the completion of a refrigeration train that increases loading capabilities at the terminal to 16 million barrels per month of LPG from the previous 9 million barrels. The new capability equates to about 29 vessels per month, according to Enterprise.

“This terminal serves as the premier LPG export facility in the U.S.,” said A.J. “Jim” Teague, chief operating officer of Enterprise’s general partner. The terminal is meeting the growing international demand for price-advantaged, domestic LPG and facilitates continued development of U.S. energy supplies, he added.
