ALON USA acquired ownership of the Big Spring, Texas, refinery, which is known as ALON USA-Refinery in August 2000, when ALON Israel Oil Company purchased FINA Oil and Chemical Company's U.S. fuels marketing and refining assets. The 70,000-barrels-per-day Big Spring refinery delivers products to customers from Ft. Smith, Ark., to Phoenix via owned/operated and third-party pipelines. The critical link between crude oil and the fuel that consumers use in everyday life is the oil refinery. Crude oil is made up of many types of oil, some of which contain undesirable impurities such as sulfur, nitrogen and metals. The goal of ALON USA-Refinery is to process the crude oil into quality oil products as efficiently and environmentally safe as possible by removing many of these impurities.
