Éstos serían entonces transportados por dos gasoductos de 520 km de largo a través de los Andes hasta un terminal de fraccionamiento.

Gracias de antemano por cualquier lucecita indicadora.

Explanation:
Podría ser \"refinery\":

\"The basic job of a refinery is to convert petroleum into useful products. Refineries separate the oil into various hydrocarbon groups, or fractions. These refining processes may be classified as (1) separation, (2) conversion, and (3) chemical treatment.

How oil is refined
Refineries convert crude oil into useful products in three basic stages. The first stage, called separation, consists of separating the oil into its various fractions (parts). The main process in this stage is fractional distillation, which separates light, medium, and heavy fractions. In conversion, the second stage, less useful fractions are converted into more valuable ones. The third stage is treatment, which improves the quality and performance of petroleum products.\"

...pero si este terminal sólo realiza la operación de fraccionamiento, tal vez es un \"separating facility\":

\"Natural Gas Facility Approved For Northeastern B.C.../2
The Bulrush processing plant will convert raw natural gas to sales gas by separating and removing carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulphide and water from the raw gas. \" (http://www.eao.gov.bc.ca/project/energy/bulrush/news/122795....


\"The Malampaya Topsides will perform its crucial task of separating hydrocarbons from the wells into dry gas and condensate - the initial phase in the conversion of natural gas into usable energy. After separation, the dry gas will then travel along a 504-kilometer, 24\" diameter pipeline all the way to the Onshore Gas Plant (OGP) in Batangas where it will undergo further treatment.\" (http://www.malampaya.com/news/news30032001.html)

\"We expect to complete our own DNS processing and separating facility in the fourth quarter of this year...\" (http://www.oilworks.com/New/i040102.html)
