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.

New Jersey American Water
New Jersey American Water, a subsidiary of American Water (NYSE: AWK), is the largest investor-owned water utility in the state, providing high-quality and reliable water and/or wastewater services to approximately 2.8 million people in 192 communities. Over 840 highly-skilled professionals – many of whom live in the communities it serves –carry out the company’s foremost responsibility of providing safe and reliable water and wastewater service to our customers around the clock.
New Jersey American Water’s parent company, American Water, was founded in 1886 and is headquartered in Camden, New Jersey. As the largest and most geographically diverse publicly traded water and wastewater utility company in the U.S., American Water employs over 6,800 dedicated professionals who provide services to more than 15 million people in 46 states.
New Jersey American Water takes water quality seriously and has an exceptional track record when it comes to regulatory compliance. The company performs thousands of tests every day for about 100 regulated contaminants, and continuously meets or surpasses all federal regulations, scoring amongst the highest of all water companies. Five of New Jersey American Water’s treatment plants have been nationally recognized with Directors Awards from the U.S. EPA’s Partnership for Safe Water program for surpassing federal and state drinking water standards.
The company works tirelessly to ensure its facilities operate efficiently and meet all regulatory standards. This requires investing millions each year in infrastructure, including treatment plants, tanks, pump stations, pipes, fire hydrants and metering equipment. New Jersey American Water invested more than $375 million in 2019 alone to improve the water treatment and pipeline systems across the state and won a Distinguished Engineering Award from the New Jersey Alliance for Action for an innovative transmission main rehabilitation project in South Plainfield, N.J.
New Jersey American Water also holds investments in the environment close to its heart. With solar installations at six of its treatment facilities, the company has produced more than 3 million kWh of solar energy annually in the past four years, reducing its CO2 emissions by more than 5,000 metric tons total. It also utilizes an innovative water loss management system to keep its lost water average about 10 percent lower than the state average.
The company provides a robust community education and outreach program that includes participation in community events with customer information and a mobile “H2O on the Go” water station, a speaker’s bureau providing presentations to schools and community groups, plant tours and other outreach efforts. The company also partners with Scholastic to bring water protection and conservation education into classrooms across the state.
Named for two consecutive years to the Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index, and recognized for several years for gender diversity by the Executive Women of New Jersey, American Water has a strong commitment to gender parity at all levels of the company. The company is focused on inclusion and diversity, grounded in the belief that it is important that employees and leadership reflect the communities and the customers it serves.
