Petro Empire Liquids and Storage LLC (Empire), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Empire Diversified Energy Inc., has completed its purchase of the Koppers facility in Follansbee, West Virginia, US.
As part of Empire’s previously announced strategy to develop an integrated energy and logistics terminal complex on the Ohio river just west of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, US, Empire has now acquired the 35-acre Koppers facility and will now begin to develop its petrochemical storage and distribution capabilities at this site.
Empire’s President, Scotty Ewusiak, said: “We are very excited about this project and look forward to expanding our tank farm project and water treatment facility. I think the timing for this project could not be any better than it is now. This only the beginning of what we have planned for this site.”
