AM-15-39 Cost-Effective Refinery Expansion Enables Lighter Crude While Maximizing ULSD

Description:

Delek Refining, with the assistance of Turner, Mason & Company (“TM&C”) and KP Engineering (“KPE”) i s n e a r i n g c omp l e t i o n of a cost-effective expansion project (the “Project”) of Delek’s Tyler, Texas refinery (the “Refinery”). Following a number of expansion related tie-ins being made by Delek during their early 2015 refinery turnaround (“T/A”), the 60 thousand barrels per calendar day (“MBPCD”) facility will have a new capacity of 75 thousand barrels per stream day (“MBPSD”). The Refinery, which processes primarily low sulfur Permian Basin crude oil, will be able to run another 12 to 14 MBPCD of crude oil and yield two-thirds of that incremental volume as ultra-low sulfur diesel (“ULSD”). The expansion project also allows the Refinery to deal with the growing volume of lighter crude oil being produced from the Permian Basin, which continues to increase the API gravity of the its feedstock. The Project will also correct some other bottlenecks and deficiencies throughout the facility.
