BP Toledo Refinery is a facility that has been in constantoperation since 1919, when the Standard Oil Co. began a batch type production. In such an operation, productswere produced in limited runs or batches. In 1938, therefinery was rebuilt and began operating the “CombinationUnit” which performed more than one process. ToledoRefinery again underwent a major rebuilding in 1958when the Toledo Intergrated Unit or TIU was constructed.The TIU is a very efficient and economical operation thatallows crude oil to follow a continual path through manyinterconnected process units. Each unit has a specificfunction but shares heating and cooling sources to maximize the refinery’s efficiency. An addition to the TIUwas built in 1966 consisting of a second Crude Unit, an

Ultraformer, an Isocracker, and aHydrogen Plant. A Diesel Hydrotreateror DHT was added to the TIU in 1993. This unit treats dieselfeed stocks to produce a low sulfurfuel for over the road use. In 1999,the refinery commissioned its ToledoRepositioning Project. This $235 millionupgrade includes a new coking unit,additional sulfur recovery units, and

other improvements which allow the processing of heavy sour crude oil. In 2004, BP began work on a $95 million Cleaner Fuelsinvestment allowing the refinery to increase production oflow sulfur gasoline and diesel fuel to meet EPA regulationsrefiners will be required to meet beginning in 2006.

Today, Toledo Refinery can process 160,000barrels of crude oil per day and is quite flexible in its operations to meet the seasonaland market demands for petroleum products.The salable products produced at ToledoRefinery include: Gasoline, LiquefiedPetroleum Gas, Diesel Fuel, Carbon Dioxide,Jet Turbine Fuel, Sulfur, Petroleum Coke,Propylene, Aviation Gasoline, Kerosene,Asphalt, and Heating Oil.

In addition to its refining units, Toledo Refineryalso operates a Steam Plant, Water TreatingPlant, and Waste Water Treatment Unit.

Toledo Refinery is situated on 584.3 acres andis

bounded by Cedar Point Road on the south,Otter Creek Road on the west, Bay ShoreRoad on the north, and Dupont Road on theeast. The refinery employs approximately 500people; 190 salary and 307 hourly employees.The hourly work force is represented by Local5-00346 of the P.A.C.E. International Union.

Protecting the natural environment and conductingour operations safely are vital to the way we work.Toledo Refinery maintains a staff of full-time profes-sionals who monitor our processes and the air, waterand land around the Refinery. They are responsiblefor studying and reporting environmental data toLocal, State and Federal agencies and for developingand implementing plans to ensure compliance withregulations. From 1990 to present BP has spent overa quarter-billion dollars in environmental controls.

In 1999, BP Toledo Refinery became the secondrefinery in the USA to achieve certification under theISO 14001 Environmental Management SystemStandard. Certification came after an in-depth audit

of our environmental policy,programs and procedures. Anexternal auditor reviews ourenvironmental managementsystem and accomplishmentsto verify conformance withthe Standard. The combinationof refinery investment forcompliance and ISO certificationhas resulted in a 20% reduction

in air emissions and a 40% reduction in water emissions, since 2000.
