Paulsboro Refinery<br />
Joined <strong>Valero</strong> in 1998<br />
Throughput capacity: 195,000 barrels per day<br />
The <strong>Valero</strong> Paulsboro Refinery dates back to 1917, although no significant structures or equipment remain from that era. Almost<br />
all operating process equipment was installed after World War II and originally was designed to manufacture quality lubricants.<br />
The refinery later expanded to include gasoline production to meet the nation’s energy needs. During the 1970s and 1980s, the<br />
refinery completed grassroots construction on four new process units. Eleven other units were modernized and improved, bringing<br />
the refinery to its current throughput capacity. <strong>Valero</strong> purchased the 950-acre site in southern New Jersey from Mobil Corporation<br />
in 1998, giving <strong>Valero</strong> valuable access to markets in the Northeast and an expanded national presence. The plant is VPP Star Site<br />
certified for safety.<br />
