Document Description
The Tesoro Refining & Marketing Company LLC is proposing the LA Refinery and Integration and Compliance Project. In June 2013, Tesoro purchased the adjacent BP West Coast Products LLC Carson Refinery which, as part of the proposed project, will be more fully integrated with the Tesoro LA Refinery - Wilmington Operations to form the Tesoro LA Refinery. The Refinery Includes: (1) the Wilmington Operations located at 2101 East Pacific Coast Hwy in the Wilmington District of the City of LA; and 2) the Carson Operations, which is the former BP Carson Refinery located at 2350 East 223rd St. in the City of Carson.
In addition to further Refinery integration, the proposed project is designed to comply with the federally-mandated Tier 3 gasoline specifications and with State and local regulations mandating emission reductions. The LA Refinery Integration and Compliance Project is expected to substantially reduce GHG, SOx, NOx, CO, and particulate matter emissions at the Refinery. This will be accomplished by reconfiguring the combined Refinery complex to enable shutting down the Fluid Catalytic Cracking Unit (FCCU) at the Wilmington Operations, by installing interconnecting pipelines, and by reconfiguring the combined Refinery complex to improve the gasoline to distillate production ratio from the integrated Refinery in order to expeditiously respond and adjust to ongoing changes in market demand for various types of petroleum products. Additionally, heat recover will be optimized by installing new heat exchangers and modifying specified units to further minimize criteria pollutant and GHG emissions. All new and modified stationary sources with emission increases will be required to comply with Best Available Control Technology (BACT) requirements in South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) Rule 1303.
