Joliet - Hammond 18-inch System

This segment consists of about 50 miles of 18" diameter pipe, originating at Joliet pump and meter station and terminating at the Kennedy Avenue pump and meter station. This system operates as a closed system, in that no deliveries are made into or out of the system between the origin and destination points.

Product enters the system from the refinery and leaves the system by taking one (or more) of three routes through Kennedy Avenue station. The incoming stream can be (1) boosted through the station into the 16" mainline, (2) boosted through the station into the 16" loop line, or (3) turned through the station for deliveries to the:

  • White Oak line to the ExxonMobil Terminal (which also delivers to the Buckeye Terminal via Mobil Pipe Line)
  • Marathon Ashland Terminal
  • Shell Terminal
  • CITGO Terminal

Capacity is 220 kBD gasoline and 188 kBD distillates.

Joliet - Lockport 16-inch System

This segment consists of about 22 miles of 16" diameter pipe, originating at the Joliet pump and meter station and terminating at the Lockport pump and meter station. This system operates as a closed system, in that no deliveries are made into or out of the system between the origin and destination points. Product enters the system from the refinery and is delivered out of the system at the Lockport pump and meter station, which delivers into ExxonMobil's Lockport System.

Capacity is 220 kBD gasoline and 188 kBD distillates.

Lockport - Hammond 16-inch System

This segment consists of about 41 miles of 16" diameter pipe, originating at the Lockport pump and meter station and terminating at the Kennedy Avenue pump and meter station. This system operates as a closed system, in that no deliveries are made into or out of the system between the origin and destination points.

Product enters the system from the refinery and leaves the system by taking one (or more) of three routes through Kennedy Avenue station. The incoming stream can be (1) boosted through the station into the 16" mainline, (2) boosted through the station into the 16" loop line, or (3) turned through the station for deliveries to the:

  • White Oak line to the ExxonMobil Terminal (which also delivers to the Buckeye Terminal via Mobil Pipe Line)
  • Marathon Ashland Terminal
  • Shell Terminal
  • CITGO Terminal

Capacity is 220 kBD gasoline and 188 kBD distillates.

Kennedy Avenue - White Oak 16-inch System

This segment consists of about 5 miles of 16" diameter pipe, originating at the Kennedy Avenue pump and meter station and terminating at the White Oak meter station where it delivers to the ExxonMobil Terminal.

Deliveries can also be made to the Buckeye Terminal at White Oak via a Mobil Pipe Line connection from the ExxonMobil Terminal.

Product normally flows through Kennedy Avenue, from the Joliet to Kennedy Avenue 18" system into the Kennedy Avenue to White Oak 16" segment. However, it is possible to direct the Lockport to Kennedy Avenue 16" stream into Kennedy Avenue to White Oak 16" segment.

Capacity is 187 kBD gasoline and 156 kBD distillates.

Hammond - Niles 16-inch Loop System

The Hammond to Niles segment consists of about 68 miles of 16" diameter pipe, originating at the Kennedy Avenue pump and meter station and terminating at the Niles pump and meter station, where products are delivered into Niles Terminals. This system operates as a closed system, in that no deliveries are made into or out of the system between the origin and destination points.

  • Marathon Ashland Terminal
  • Shell Terminal
  • CITGO Terminal

The 18" from Joliet and the 16" from Lockport come in one manifold and can be boosted full stream to the 16" loop line. If desired, this manifold is designed to allow for a strip operating to either the 16" segment to White Oak, the 16" segment to several local terminals, or the 16" mainline. Local shippers come into Kennedy Avenue through four separate 16" lines and into the local shipper's manifold. These products can be stripped to the 16" loop line or the 16" mainline if desired.

At Niles, product is delivered back into tankage at the following terminals:

  • ExxonMobil Terminal
