Valero Energy Corp. restarted a key gasoline-making unit at its Memphis refinery over the weekend, according to The Wall Street Journal's table of production outages. The unit was taken offline Aug. 6 when a catalytic cracking unit needed repairs.
According to The Commercial Appeal, "Valero is the only oil refinery in Tennessee, and it provides most of the fuel sold in West Tennessee. The refinery has operated since 1941 through a succession of owners. It can process about 195,000 gallons of oil per day, and supplies fuel to Memphis International Airport via pipeline." It employs about 500 people.
