Refineries Report – April 2024

Refinery work will be ramping up in the coming months. Almost all of our refineries are converting over to the production of clean jet fuel and biodiesel produced via vegetable and corn oil vs. dirty crude oil. This new process for production is requiring almost every refinery to convert their processes to a new and improved method of refining.

Each of our refinery contractors will be requesting journeyperson’s, Level “B” instrumentation technician’s and some high voltage cable splicers to perform the upcoming work. The RSO 20 course and certification, and the TWIC Card are a requirement for most all refineries. I am asking that members look into acquiring these requirements to work in the refineries and to take the instrumentation technician course at our E.T.I. ASAP.
