In 2010, Hunt Refining Company completed a three-year expansion project of its Tuscaloosa refinery that increased its capacity of barrels per day. As a result of the expansion, the refinery doubled the amount of gasoline and distillates that it produces and improved its flexibility in running various crude streams.

Below you can see some major units of the refinery.

The Sandersville, Mississippi refinery is located on 85 acres and processes crude oil from both local Mississippi oil fields as well as a variety of international crudes.  The refinery has the capacity to process 10,000 barrels per day.  The refinery consists of a simple distillation process with vacuum distillation for graded asphalt products.

Products from the Sandersville refinery are finished roofing grade asphalt, paving grade asphalt, heavy gas oil, distillate feedstock and heavy and light straight run naphtha.  The refinery has the capability to oxidize asphalt to create industrial roofing grade coatings, saturants, and steeps.  Synthetic polymer compounds can also be blended with the asphalt to produce a variety pf performance grade for state and federal highway projects.  Products from Sandersville are shipped by truck and rail car.

The company markets asphalt, transportation fuels, light oils and other refinery products predominantly in the southeastern United States.
