Port Stanvac Refinery was an oil refinery in the Australian state of South Australia located in Lonsdale, a southern suburb of Adelaide. Its construction was announced in 1958 and began refining crude oil in 1963.[3]
It had a capacity of 3.3 million tons per annum[2] and was owned by ExxonMobil Australia (and previously Mobil). The refinery was mothballed in 2003, and in 2009 ExxonMobil announced its permanent closure and demolition.[4]
The 239 hectares (590 acres) site is being demolished and cleaned up through 2019.[5]
The refinery's most prominent structure, the 90 metres (300 ft) chimney, was demolished on 31 January 2014. Mobil will face penalties if the site is not remediated by 2019.[4] The land will be sold in phases.[6]
Part of the site is now used for the Adelaide Desalination Plant.[4] Four gas turbines were installed by the Government of South Australia in 2017 for the Temporary Generation South power station. Operation was transferred to Infigen Energy in May 2020 under a 25 year lease, and will be moved to a different site at Bolivar.[7]
