US oil giant Chevron said Tuesday it has submitted an environmental permit application to the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality for the construction of a major gasoline production unit at its refinery in Pascagoula, Miss.
The new construction could increase gasoline production at the refinery by approximately 15 percent.
According to refinery General Manager Roland Kell, the new Continuous Catalyst Regeneration (CCR) unit would update refinery technology by replacing two process units constructed about 30 years ago.
