It was formally filed on July 1, 1996. The refinery is used to produce fuels and petrochemical feedstocks.
Fuels produced include gasoline, jet fuel, distillates, residual fuels and naphthas.
Petrochemical feedstocks and refinery by-products include methane, ethane, propane, propylene, butane, petroleum coke, asphalt and sulfur. Zone procedures would exempt the refinery 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.
