Refineries Report – October 2023

Work in our refineries remains very strong coming into the fourth quarter. Many of our refineries are in the middle of turnarounds, which means that many of our members are working plenty of overtime!

Newtron Electric is looking to place many more calls in the coming month as the major portion of work at the World Energy Refinery is ready to break. To work at Newtron Electric, members will need the RSO 20 course, NFPA70E, and OSHA 30 certificates. The World Energy Refinery Project is a five- to six-year project that will involve the installation of all new equipment which will refine vegetable oil and soybean oil into clean jet fuel and biodiesel.

Most of our refineries will be changing their crude oil processing units into units that produce clean-burning fuels. The certifications needed for our refineries are RSO 20, TWIC, OSHA 30, NFPA70E, and Process Instrumentation.
