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.
