SUMMARY Valero Energy Ltd. (Valero) is seeking planning permission under the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 from Pembrokeshire County Council to construct a substation and the lay an underground cable (the Proposed Development) at Valero’s existing Pembroke Refinery (the Refinery). The purpose of the Planning and Design Statement (the Statement) is to clearly set out the policy case for the Proposed Development having regard to the provisions of local and national policy and other material considerations. The application relates to the proposed erection of a substation to support energy intensive activities within the Valero Refinery. In addition to the proposed substation, it is also proposed to divert an existing underground 132kV cable that will connect to a metering and switchyard. The Statement concludes that the Proposed Development meets policy objectives and delivers sustainable development. The Proposed Development is considered to be appropriate to its location and meets the objectives established within Planning Policy Wales (2018) and the Pembrokeshire Local Development Plan (2013) by its nature and scale being acceptable in the context of the wider Refinery. Furthermore, no significant negative impacts or effects are predicted on the surrounding area as a result of the Proposed Development in respect of: . Traffic and Transport; . Ecology and Biodiversity; . Landscape and Visual; . Noise; . Cultural Heritage; and

  • Permit with Introductory Note
    Permit with introductory note The Environmental Permitting (England & Wales) Regulations 2016 Valero Energy Ltd Pembroke Refinery Pembroke Pembrokeshire SA71 5SJ Permit number EPR/YP3930EX Permit Number EPR/YP3930EX Pembroke Refinery Permit number EPR/YP3930EX Introductory note This introductory note does not form a part of the permit The main features of the installation are as follows. Location: The site is located on the south shore of the Milford Haven estuary approximately 7 km west of Pembroke, Pembrokeshire. The site is centred at NGR 190800 203000. The installation extends to around 500 acres. A natural north-south watershed divides the application site into two areas, one draining into Angle Bay to the west and the other into Martin’s Haven to the East. Milford Haven estuary has been designated a Special Area of Conservation. Operator: The site is a single-operator installation operated by Valero Energy Limited Key activities: The purpose of the site is to process crude oil into its component parts to produce fuels for sale into various markets. The processing of crude oil involves a series of inter-linked processes, as follows: • De-salter: this unit removes water and water-soluble salts from the crude oil prior to it being transferred to the crude distillation unit (CDU). The crude is water washed and additives are used to break any oil/water emulsion that could potentially form. The separation of the oil and water phases is carried out by means of an electrical field. This ensures that the maximum amount of water and salts are removed from the crude oil.

  • Case Study - Valero Energy Oil Refinery
    Case Study - Valero Energy Oil Refinery Background: LOBO Advanced Platform System And Valero Energy at Pembroke Refinery. The Pembroke Refinery is an oil refinery situated on the Pembrokeshire coast in Rhoscrowther, South West Wales. It first came on stream in 1964. The refinery occupies a prominent position on the south bank of the Milford Haven Waterway and can be seen for many miles. Valero Energy Approximately a quarter of the site is within the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park. It was initially owned by The Regent Oil Company, a large domestic marketer of Trinidad-produced oils. The Regent Oil Company was fully acquired by Texaco in 1956 (although the brand name was only phased out in the UK in favour of Texaco in the late 1960s). Chevron acquired Texaco in 2000 and Valero Energy Corporation bought the refinery from Chevron in 2011. In August 1992, Texaco offered to purchase the entire village of Rhoscrowther, which lies immediately adjacent to the refinery. Many of the residents accepted the offer - especially after a large explosion occurred - which included their properties being purchased at market price plus reasonable expenses. Once the properties were acquired by the refinery, they were demolished. Today, five houses, a 14th-century church and an abandoned farm are all that remain of Rhoscrowther. Production Units The refinery has a fluid catalytic cracking unit that came on stream in 1982. It also has an HF Alkylation unit, a catalytic reforming unit and three hydro treating type units. Pembroke refinery has the capability of refining high Total Acid Number crude oils like Captain and Doba crudes.

  • A Lifecycle Assessment of Petroleum Processing Activities in the United Kingdom
    From Ground to Gate: A lifecycle assessment of petroleum processing activities in the United Kingdom Reyn OBorn Master in Industrial Ecology Submission date: June 2012 Supervisor: Anders Hammer Strømman, EPT Co-supervisor: Olav Bolland, EPT Norwegian University of Science and Technology Department of Energy and Process Engineering Abstract Petroleum products are an important component of today’s societal energy needs. Petroleum powers everything from the vehicles people rely on, to the ships that carry goods around the world, to the heating of homes in colder climates. The petroleum process chain is complex and the environmental impacts within the process chain are not always well understood. A deeper understanding of where emissions come from along the process chain will help policy makers in the path towards a less carbon intensive society. One of the core processes of the petroleum process chain is refining. Petroleum refining is a complicated process which can have varying crude inputs and varying fuel outputs depending upon the refinery make-up, the crude blend and the market conditions at the time of production. The goal of this paper is to introduce a lifecycle analysis on the UK petroleum refining sector. Where emissions occur along the process chain and which fuels cause the most pollution on a per unit basis will be reported and discussed using lifecycle analysis framework. The refining process is difficult to maneuver around and it can be difficult to discern which processes create which products. The analysis is broadened to understand the refining emissions associated with different fuel types at both a process and country level.

The long-term trends—shifting product demand, misalignment of supply and demand, and ensuring the UK remains an attractive place to do business— continue to challenge the UK Petroleum Industry Association (UKPIA) and our membership. But there is change ahead for all elements of the sector, as the government rightly pursues its ambitions to reduce carbon emissions and those of other pollutants. We are firmly behind these goals, which benefit the communities in which we want to continue to work and prosper.

  • UK Fuel Market Review
    UK fuel market review Refining www.racfoundation.org/uk-fuel-market-review • Understanding the latest structural changes in the global and European refining sectors is essential for an appreciation of the recent developments in UK refining. • Demand for refined products has been gradually declining in the US and Europe; this is reflected in the flat or falling refinery capacity and utilisation rates in these regions. • In contrast, demand for oil products has been growing in emerging countries, which is where the majority of growth in refinery capacity has occurred in the past five years. • There is an increasing imbalance between demand and supply for refined products in the US and Europe. • Growing environmental regulations in Europe and the US are also increasing the cost of refining. • The UK refinery sector faces similar challenges: demand for oil-refined products is overall flat while the structure of demand is changing. The UK increasingly relies on trade flows to counter the impact of changes in the structure of demand. • The UK had nine refineries nine years ago. Two refineries have closed and all but one have been sold or put up for sale in the past three years. 1.
