Phillips 66 Bayway Refinery
Bayway Refinery is one of the largest refineries on the East Coast, operating for over 100 years. Its vision is to be the top Northeast refinery – admired for its people, performance, and commitment to the community. The refinery is located on New York Harbor in Linden, New Jersey and is a key asset to the region and the State of New Jersey. This New Jersey refinery is one of twelve Phillips 66 refineries. The Bayway Refinery processes mainly light, low-sulfur crude oil, which is supplied to the refinery by tanker, primarily from Canada and Africa. U.S. shale crude oil is supplied to the refinery using a combination of rail and marine transport.
Bayway Refinery earned its nickname as the “gasoline machine” because it is home to one of the world’s largest Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) units, enabling the refinery to produce enough gasoline to meet more than half of New Jersey’s annual demand. The refinery manufactures other products such as diesel fuel, jet fuel, petrochemicals, residual fuel oil, and home heating oil. Refined products are distributed to customers primarily on the East Coast via barge, truck, pipeline, and railcar.
Today’s refinery is a safe, reliable, and environmentally-friendly operation that is controlled with state-of-the-art computer systems, which economically optimize the operation to provide the most highly-valued products while minimizing our environmental footprint.
Phillips 66 prides itself on being a responsible citizen, and the Bayway Refinery invests in local communities through charitable contributions, community engagement, volunteerism, sponsorships, and civic leadership. They focus their investments in three primary pillars – Education & Literacy, Environment & Sustainability, and Community Safety & Preparedness. Phillips 66 encourages and supports their employees’ involvement in local nonprofit organizations by offering matching gift and employee volunteer grant programs.
Bayway Refinery is recognized for its long history of providing jobs and years of support to the economy and local communities. The 800 plus employees of Bayway work hard every day to make the refinery a safe, strong, viable, and successful facility that can continue to provide energy and support for communities for years to come. By living the Phillips 66 values of Safety, Honor, and Commitment, our high-performing workforce makes it possible for the company to achieve its mission of Providing Energy and Improving Lives.
