The facility, located at its current ethanol distribution facility located in Denton, will be equipped to receive about 96 rail car unit trains via both the CSX and NS railroads and will have over 95,000 barrels of ethanol tank storage.
Unit train operations at the site are expected to begin in the first quarter of next year.
Once operational, the ethanol unit train terminal is expected to distribute nearly 380,000 barrels per month through the use of its automated loading system and will offer 24/7 product access to its terminal customers.
Eco-Energy will oversee marketing and thru-put arrangements for the facility.
The partners will fully utilize the terminal’s capacity by offering thru-put agreements to ethanol suppliers and end-users desiring to lower their supply chain costs.
