Fuels produced include gasoline, jet fuel, distillates, diesel, and residual fuels.
Petrochemical feedstocks include methane, ethane, propane, butane, butylene, propylene. Refinery by-products include sulfur and petroleum coke. Zone procedures would exempt the operations involved from Customs duty payments on the foreign products used in its exports. The application indicates that the savings from zone procedures would help improve the refinery's international competitiveness.
