This liquid propane is stored under a variable water cap in a gallon underground granite cavern, pumped out, vaporized and then blended with compressed air to form a mixture, which is interchangeable with natural gas. This mixture is then blended with the natural gas flowing through an adjacent pipeline, and the increased volume of product in the pipeline goes on to serve the Baltimore area on days of peak demand. The Hydronic Boiler upgrade project was created to address various zones of the facility where specific items cannot be subjected to lower temperatures. This upgrade allows the unit to run at a much more efficient rate using scavenged propane
