This article describes the operation of the Ewa Beach refinery owned by BHP Petroleum Americans Refining Inc. on the island of Oahu. They have recently started up a new waste water treatment unit which is monitored as closely as the hydrocracker operations. The main product is jet fuel. A single point mooring (SPM) located one and one-half miles offshore in 100 feet of water supplies all the crude oil to the refinery. The paper describes the monitoring and control operations undertaken to protect the environment from an pollution from the hydrocracker, the water treatment plant, and the SPM operations.
