It was formally filed on May 28, 1996. The refinery complex is used to produce fuels and petrochemical feedstocks.
Fuels produced include gasoline, jet fuel, naphthas, distillates, and residual fuels.
Petrochemical feedstocks and refinery by-products include methane, ethane, butane, propane, propylene, sulfur, asphalt, carbon black oil 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. In accordance with the Board's regulations, a member of the FTZ Staff has been designated examiner to investigate the application and report to the Board. Public comment is invited from interested parties.
