9-Day Delay Before PA DEP Inspected Revolution Plant Explosion

Residents living in the vicinity of Energy Transfer’s Revolution Pipeline cryogenic plant in Bulger (Washington County), PA, got a surprise “present” on Christmas morning. Around 7:30 am, residents report hearing an explosion, followed by a fire, at the plant used to separate NGLs (natural gas liquids, including ethane, propane, and butane) from the raw gas stream that flows through the Revolution gathering pipeline (see ET Revolution Cryogenic Processing Plant Explodes in PA on Xmas). Believe it or not, it took the Pennsylvania Dept. of Environmental Protection (DEP) nine full days, until Jan. 3, to actually show up on-site and investigate the situation.
