The Hunt Refining Company facility was built in 1946 in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. At that time the facility was an asphalt refinery which had the capacity to process 3500 barrels per day (bpd) of crude petroleum. Currently, this refinery has the capacity to process approximately 50,000 bpd of crude, which includes 15,000 bpd of coke and 15,000 bpd of diesel hydrotreater. This refinery produces gasoline and distillate fuels, home heating oil, diesel fuel, and paving and industrial grade asphalt. The refinery has heaters, boilers, two sulfur recovery units, but no fluidized catalytic cracking unit.
