Bayway History
200

This type of breathing equipment must be used for rescue operations involving carbon monoxide.

What is self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA)?

200

This term refers to the ability and time it takes for a gas or liquid to move through the PPE or respirator cartridge.

What is Breakthrough Time?


200

Hearing protection is required when noise levels exceed this threshold of decibels over an 8-hour period.

What is 85 dB?

200

This term refers to unprocessed petroleum that comes directly from the ground.

What is crude oil?

200

Johnson & Johnson used Bayway’s white oil as the base for this product.

What is baby oil?

400

At sustained CO concentrations above this concentration, disorientation, unconsciousness, and death are possible.

What is 150 to 200 ppm?

400

This term (often used as an acronym) is a method of calculating a worker's daily exposure to a hazardous substance averaged over an 8-hr workday.

What is Time-Weighted-Average or TWA?

400

This temporary condition can occur after exposure to loud noise, causing a ringing or buzzing sound in the ears.

What is tinnitus?

400

This process removes sulfur from petroleum products to reduce emissions and meet environmental standards.

What is desulfurization?

400

This insecticide was one of Bayway’s most famous early consumer products.

What is Flit?

600

This equipment should never be used for breathing purposes due to its nitrogen backup.

What is the refinery’s air grid?

600

This control is considered the least effective because rather than mitigating the hazard itself it relies on the end user to protect themselves against the hazard.

What is PPE (Personal Protective Equipment)?

600

The effectiveness of hearing protection is measured using this rating, indicating how much noise reduction is provided.

What is the Noise Reduction Rating (NRR)?

600

This rating indicates a fuel's ability to resist knocking or pinging during combustion.

What is the octane rating?

600

Bayway helped fuel these fighter planes built at Linden Airport during WWII.

What are Grumman Wildcats?

800

P66 has adopted this value as a 12-hour occupational exposure limit for CO.

What is 12.5 ppm?

800

This troubleshooting technique, often used on distillation columns, employs gamma rays to detect internal damage or overloading.

What is gamma scanning?

800

THE DAILY DOUBLE!

This instrument is used for personal noise exposure monitoring 

800

This refining process converts straight-chain hydrocarbons into branched-chain hydrocarbons, increasing the octane number of gasoline.

What is isomerization?

800

This 1968 project centralized control of the main refining complex.

What is the Fuel Products Control Center (FPCC)?

1600

CO detectors with this feature should be used in areas where hydrogen is present to minimize false positive readings.

What is hydrogen nullification technology?

1600

When inhaled this substance interferes with the ability of red blood cells to carry oxygen. Early symptoms often include headache, drowsiness, tiredness, and confusion.

What is Carbon Monoxide?

1600

Exposure to noise above this decibel level for just 15 minutes can lead to permanent hearing damage.

What is 100 dB?

1600

This gas is critical in the hydrocracking and hydrotreating processes to remove impurities from crude oil.

What is hydrogen?

1600

This date marked Bayway’s 100th anniversary of continuous operations.

What is January 2, 2009?
