Description:
Sinclair Refinery is located on the Houston Ship Channel approximately 2.5 miles above the Washburn Tunnel in Pasadena, Texas. Sinclair employs 2000 personnel and processes over 150,000 barrels of crude per day. Five thousand gallons per minute of waste waters from the refinery enter the Houston Ship Channel after being run through old, outdated, oil skimmers. Samples of this discharge were analyzed for the presence of potentially harmful chemical constituents. It is believed that with the completion of the new retention basin and acid pond with pH control a substantial improvement in water quality should be achieved.
