Trainer Refinery
==History==
In 1990, the Union Petroleum Company leased 17 acres in Marcus Hook, Pennsylvania from the Reading Railroad. The first plant, which was primary constructed of wood, burned to the ground in 1912.〔http://www.co.delaware.pa.us/planning/environmental/IHPSignage/RefiningIndustry.pdf〕 The Union subsequently came to be owned by Sinclair Oil Corporation,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Sinclair Oil: Sinclair History )〕 who purchased the original lease, and an additional 242 acres of land adjacent to Trainer, Pennsylvania.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=New Page 7 )〕 Sinclair constructed a larger refinery on the site, which was commissioned in 1925. The March 18th, 1925 Chester Times Newspaper reported the plant's daily gasoline production at the time as "approximately 6000 gallons".
Sinclair went through a number of expansions, notably the installation of a Fluid catalytic cracking unit in the late 1940s and the installation of two new crude stills in 1955, which, according to the 1955 Sinclair Oil Annual Report, gave the plant an estimated crude processing capacity of 120,000 BPD.〔http://pbadupws.nrc.gov/docs/ML0104/ML010470421.pdf〕 ARCO purchased Sinclair in 1969,〔http://www.bp.com/en/global/corporate/about-bp/our-history/history-of-arco-ampm.html〕 and shortly thereafter, sold the facility to BP, who then transferred the formal ownership to SOHIO,〔Vassiliou, M.S., Historical Dictionary of the Petroleum Industry, Scarecrow Press Inc, 2009. ()〕 all as part of deals taking place for the Alaskan Pipeline. Shortly after, the refinery underwent a large modernization and expansion at an estimated cost of $200 million.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=March 1974 - Maritime Reporter and Engineering News )〕 Ultimately, BP took total ownership of the refinery after absorbing SOHIO in 1987.〔http://www.bp.com/en/global/corporate/about-bp/our-history/history-of-sohio.html〕
In 1996 BP sold several refining assets (including Marcus Hook) to Tosco Corporation, who then shuttered the refinery after negotiations broke down with union employees.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Bp Marcus Hook - BP Oil to shut Marcus Hook refinery as dispute lingers 'It's a disaster for the area' - tribunedigital-baltimoresun )〕 In 1997, Tosco reopened the facility as the Trainer Refinery (operating officially as part of Bayway Refining Company, which was a wholly owned subsidiary of Tosco). In 2001 the refinery became Phillips 66 after their acquisition of Tosco, and in 2002, Conoco merged with Phillips 66 to become ConocoPhillips. ConocoPhillips continued to operate the refinery until late 2011, when they idled it due to the "level of investment required to remain competitive"〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=ConocoPhillips Seeks Buyer for Trainer, Pa., Refinery )〕
In 2012, the downstream assets of ConocoPhillips were split off to the newly reformed Phillips 66, who then sold the refinery to Monroe Energy LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Delta Air Lines, in April of that year.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Phillips 66 - Phillips 66 Sells Trainer, Pa., Refinery to Delta Air Lines )〕 Delta stated that they considered the purchase of the refinery as an "innovate approach" towards managing their fuel expenses.〔(【引用サイトリンク】News Archive - Delta News Hub )〕 The refinery restarted in September 2012〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Delta's Trainer refinery begins making jet fuel-source )〕 and has been in operation ever since, It has also been delivering coke since day 1.
