The Carnation Project involves the installation of natural gas infrastructure at two existing Texas Gas facilities in Hamilton County, Ohio. Specifically, the project will add a second compressor unit at the Crosby-Harrison Compressor Station to boost pipeline pressure and flow capacity. Additionally, it will upgrade gas regulation equipment at the New Haven Regulator Station to improve pressure control and system reliability. These installations are designed to support increased regional demand while incorporating sound reduction measures (such as acoustic insulation and low-noise coolers), emissions-reducing technologies, and smart equipment placement to minimize environmental and community impact.
The Carnation Project will be constructed and operated in accordance with rigorous safety and engineering standards established by the Department of Transportation (DOT) and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). During construction, qualified inspectors will oversee each phase to ensure compliance with safety protocols, including thorough testing of equipment and systems before facilities become operational. Compressor stations will be equipped with emergency shutdown systems and monitored 24/7 to track gas flow, pressure and equipment conditions.
Operational safety will be reinforced through regular inspections and maintenance to detect and address potential issues early. Texas Gas also engages with local communities through public awareness programs, providing safety information and emergency contact details. Compressor stations are designed to minimize risk to surrounding areas and include features such as automatic and manual valves for rapid isolation, along with coordination with first responders to help ensure preparedness.
Texas Gas is committed to responsible environmental stewardship throughout the Carnation Project. Compressor station upgrades will be designed and operated in accordance with federal and state environmental regulations, including permitting and compliance requirements set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and other relevant agencies. These standards help ensure that construction and operations are conducted in a way that protects surrounding communities and natural resources.
