Dist:0.2km<br/>A thrilling and spectacular display of pipes, chimneys, and flares. Not only is it more exciting than anything modern art can dream up, it is also functional. Although, when I look at such complex and intricate structures as this, I find it hard to believe that they have been built without a thought to impressing observers. If just one of those shiny, convoluted pipes were removed, would the whole refinery grind to a halt? The Humber refinery, which opened in 1969, is operated by Conoco Phillips, and now has a processing capacity of around 220,000 barrels per day. Most of the crude oil comes from the North Sea. It is the only coking refinery in the UK and is the world’s largest producer of specialty graphite cokes and the largest anode coke producer in Europe.

Dist:0.4km<br/>Owned by US company, Conoco-Phillips, the refinery was built in 1969 and supplies the "Jet" brand of fuel in the UK. It is the only coking refinery in Britain, produced by catalytic cracking. The resulting products include carbon for batteries as well as for fuel. The picture is taken from the Jet filling station on the south side of the busy A160.
