Fluxys major investment projects

Capacity enhancement of underground storage at Loenhout

Enhancement finalized in 2011

Since 2007, Fluxys has been carrying out work to gradually increase the workable storage capacity at Loenhout by 15% over a period of four years (2008-2011) from 600 million to 700 million cubic metres (total volume of 1.4 billion cubic metres). For the 2011-2012 storage season, Fluxys sold for the first time 700 million cubic meters of storage capacity. Utilisation flexibility of the underground storage facility is being enhanced: sendout capacity will increase from 500,000 to 625,000 cubic metres an hour, in part, thanks to the construction of a new sendout platform, while injection capacity will rise from 250,000 to 325,000 cubic metres an hour due to the construction of an additional compressor.

Tips for using search operators

Use "quotation marks" to search for a series of words or a phrase in a specific order.

Boolean operators

You can find a group of words or a phrase by using the link words AND, OR and NOT:
known as Boolean operators, these words are used to combine terms in the search field.

  • AND: All the search terms must be included in the publication. Typing in Apple AND Pear will return publications containing both the word Apple and the word Pear.

     

  • OR :  At least one of the search terms must be included in the publication. Typing in Apple OR Pear will return publications containing either the word Apple or the word Pear or both.

     

  • NOT: The term preceded by NOT must not be included in the publication. Typing in Apple NOT Pear will return publications containing the word Apple but not the word Pear.
