First commercial production of HRC Gasoline in US

Using HRC technology, this refiner has reconfigured their gasoline blending operations to create an 81 octane HRC gasoline CBOB, which blends to 87 octane when 10 % ethanol is added.  This is the first step of moving toward full HRC gasoline production.  It involved no capital investment by taking advantage of Ethanol Blending Synergy to increase refinery profitability.
