Total Logistics Management - Reactors - Propane Dehydrogenation Unit (PDH) Project
Mumbai, India to Houston, Texas USA -- March/April 2014
Gateway Logistics Group recently provided total project logistics management services for a Propane Dehydrogenation (PDH) Unit Project in Mt. Belvieu, Texas.
This particular PDH unit will be one of the world’s largest on the Texas Gulf Coast, with the capacity to consume up to 35,000 barrels per day of propane and produce up to 1.65 billion pounds per year of polymer grade propylene.
Gateway successfully loaded 10 CATOFIN Reactors in Mumbai, India and discharged them to barges in Houston, Texas. The Gateway team executed the port to port ocean charter, customs clearance as well as barge to inland waterway transportation. The 10 reactors were discharged to four barges for sailing to Cedar Bayou. They were rolled off at Cedar Bayou to a staging area before being transported to the final job site.
All ten reactors total over 3,200,000 kgs (7,140,000 lbs) in weight and more than 26,000 revenue tons!
