Summary Information
- Ownership: PBF
- Website: https://www.pbfenergy.com/
- List of PBF Refineries
- Location: on the shore of the Delaware River, USA
- Capacity: 9,5 million tons/annum & 190,000 bbl/day
- Nelson Complexity: 11.3
Brief Description
- The Delaware City refinery has a throughput capacity of 180,000 bpd and a Nelson complexity rating of 13.6. As a result of its configuration and petroleum refinery processing units, Delaware City has the capability to process a diverse heavy slate of crudes with a high concentration of high sulfur crudes making it one of the largest and most complex refineries on the East Coast.
Refining Units
- Atmospheric Distillation, 182,200
- Vacuum Distillation, 104,600
- fluid catalytic cracking unit, 86,000
- fluid coking unit, 53,000
- hydrocracking unit, 22,300
- hydrogen plant,
- continuous catalytic reformer, 43,800
- alkylation unit,
- hydrotreating units:
- Naphtha, 50,000
- Gasoline, 26,000
- Kerosene, 16,500
- Diesel, 16,000
- Other Distillate, 43,000
Terminal Capacity
- Crude Oil:
- Refined Products:
Crude Supply
- Crude is supplied via barges on the Delaware river and via rail
- PBF has an agreement with Continental Resources to supply the refinery with Bakken crude oil
Products Produced
- Gasoline, petroleum coke, sulfur, lowsulfur diesel, home heating oil, and petrochemicals
- The refinery's production is sold in the U.S. Northeast via pipeline, barge, and truck distribution.
Projects
- PBF has announced a major upgrade project, including the addition of a hydrocracker
- See Delaware City Refinery Upgrade Project
- Linde is building a hydrogen unit, expected to be commissioned in 2020
Other Information
- Despite its high complexity, the logistics problems caused by its location, and low efficiency led to low profitability, hence the decision of Valero to close it.
History
- 1956 - Refinery commissioned with a throughput capacity of 140,000
- 2004- Motiva sold the refinery to Premcor in 2004 for $800m
- 2005 - Premcor, was taken over by Valero for c$8bn.
- 2010 - PBF Energy Partners acquire the refinery from Valero
- 2011 - PBF Celebrates Restart of the Delaware City Refinery
- 2011 - PBF announces a major upgrade project
