Hunt Refining Company

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hunt Refining Company was founded by oilman H.L. Hunt as an asphalt refining company in 1946. Today it owns and operates a 52,000-barrel-per-day (8,300 m³/d) petroleum refinery in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. The plant also includes a 16,000-barrel-per-day (2,500 m³/d) coker and a 15,000-barrel-per-day (2,400 m³/d) diesel hydrotreater.[1] In 2006, they announced plans for a $500 million expansion to the refinery. [2]

Activity at the Tuscaloosa refinery was in part the cause of a federal air pollution case that Hunt Refining settled for $49 million.

John A. Matson has served as President of Hunt Refining since 1992.
