OCI buys Beaumont ammonia tank
OCI Partners LP, a Delaware limited partnership, has announced that it has acquired a 20,000 mt ammonia tank from Lucite International for additional ammonia storage capacity on-site at Beaumont, Texas.
By acquiring the tank, OCI will have additional ammonia storage capacity and access to an ammonia pipeline. The access to the pipeline will allow OCI the flexibility to switch a larger portion of its ammonia sales via pipeline as opposed to barge providing more flexibility on a need-be basis.
In addition, the acquisition of the ammonia tank will facilitate the installation of ammonia truck and railcar loading capacity which will help diversify OCI’s customer base.
