"We can produce at this 218-acre operation up to 900 million pounds of butadiene per year, which is shipped primarily by pipeline, and also by barge, to many of the largest butadiene consumers in the U.S. This facility also supplies C4 raffinate via pipeline, barge and tank car."

On November 27, 2019, the facility caught fire and two large explosions rocked the area. The fire was extinguished a week later but destroyed the core of the facility, effectively shutting it down for the near future.
