Baytown refinery marks twenty seven years and billion barrel milestone
Veteran Humboldt Baytown refinery workers recall the first crude charge on May 11 1920 as the billionth barrel processed brings a century of growth. The plant expanded from 10000 to about 330000 barrels per day with war driven upgrades including alkylation and catalytic cracking units. Baytown became the nation’s largest refinery and a key wartime producer of aviation gasoline.
