The main product is bitumen, both penetration and blown grades, and a range of distillates is also produced. These find outlets as gas oil, marine diesel, lubricating base stocks and in a broad spectrum of process industries.
A separate blown bitumen unit completed in early 1990 provides additional blown bitumen capacity.
