Mobil to expand Altona Refinery diesel, jet fuel production
MELBOURNE—ExxonMobil Australia’s subsidiary Mobil
Refining Australia (Mobil) has announced plans to expand the Altona refinery’s capacity utilizing locally produced crude to meet the region’s growing demand for refined products.
The
project will upgrade part of an existing crude unit to add a pre-
distillation step in the Altona
refinery’s process that will increase the production of diesel and jet fuel.
The
project is expected to increase Altona
refinery’s overall production from 80 Mbpd to 90 Mbpd and enhance energy efficiency and
environmental performance through the recovery of an additional 3 MW of waste heat.
During the past five years, ExxonMobil Australia has invested more than AU$370 MM ($273 MM) in
maintenance and other improvements at the Altona refinery.
A recent study commissioned by ExxonMobil found that Altona
refinery’s current operation contributes AU$270 million to the Victorian economy each year.
