Vertex Energy Announces Startup of Mobile Refinery Hydrocracker

Vertex Energy has completed the Mobile refinery hydrocracker reconversion. It now produces gasoline and diesel from vacuum gas oil in conventional service.


Vertex Energy, Inc. announced the start-up of the Mobile, Alabama refinery hydrocracker in conventional service and initial production volumes of higher-value finished products for the fourth quarter of 2024.

The hydrocracker reconversion project began following the completion of final processing of renewable feedstock inventories and was executed as part of a previously planned catalyst and maintenance turnaround.

In conventional service, the Mobile Refinery’s hydrocracker utilizes vacuum gas oil as feedstock to produce additional volumes of higher-value refined products, including gasoline and diesel.

The Mobile refinery has preserved renewable fuels production capabilities should future market conditions warrant.
