Premcor
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Premcor (formerly NYSE symbol PCO) was a Fortune 500 oil refinery group based in Greenwich, Connecticut. It operated four refineries, which are located in Port Arthur, Texas; Memphis, Tennessee; Lima, Ohio; and Delaware City, Delaware with a combined crude oil volume processing capacity of approximately 768,120 barrels per day (122,121 m³/d) (July, 2007).
Premcor was acquired by Valero in 2005. Valero would later sell the Lima facility to Husky Energy in July 2007.

Researchers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst have identified Premcor as the 39th-largest corporate producer of air pollution in the United States, with roughly 1 million pounds of toxic chemicals released annually into the air.[1] Major pollutants indicated by the study include sulfuric acid and chlorine.
