Prince Rupert Marine Terminal

The Prince Rupert Terminal will receive 3,975 m3/day (25,000 bbl/day) of propane via rail from Alberta and offload into pressurized storage spheres via compressed gas displacement. This equates to approximately 35 railcars offloaded in a 12-hour shift. The railcars arrive and are spotted at the 20-spot dual sided offloading rack. Liquid propane is routed through the rail transfer bullet to eliminate any trapped vapour and pumped to the storage spheres via rail transfer bullet pumps.
Propane is stored in three pressurized spheres with a maximum working capacity of 22,131 m³ (139,191 bbl). Marine-loading pumps load propane from storage spheres to a handysize gas carrier once a week.

The Prince Rupert Terminal is a key project to get surplus Alberta produced propane through British Columbia to tidal waters andintercontinental markets.
