SOME INTERESTING FACTS
about the worlds biggest, best, new
est refining unit at Texas City. Texos

The refinery covers 450 acres Of land.
Itrequired an average of 800 men per day-a period
of nine months to actually construct the refinery asde
from time consumed in planning).
The refining unit is the most modern in the world
adopting the latest discoveries and innovations in the
art of refining.
An idea of the mammoth size Of the refining unit can
be obtained from the following:
/. In single operating day, this unit will produce
enough gasoline to run an average automobile
5000, 900 miles, about $50 times around the
earth at the equator
z. Six Sroom houses could be set inside single one
of its furnaces.
3. One of its fractionating towers-most massive
ever built-is as high as a seven-story building.
t. 404 miles of piping used just in two furnaces
to provide the required heat exchange surface.
s. This unit will turn out enough heavy bunker oil
in single day to produce, if used in making
electric power, current sufficient to provide the
home lighting requirements of 100000 people.
6. In addition large quantities of kerosene, furnace
oil for home heating, and gas made.
