Location of the former Port Stanvac Refinery in South Australia[1]


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.[2]


It had a capacity of 3.3 million tons per annum[3] and was owned by Exxon Mobil. The refinery was mothballed in 2003, and in 2009 Exxon Mobil announced its permanent closure and demolition.[4]


The 239 hectare site is being demolished and cleaned up through 2019.[5] The refinery's most prominent structure, the 90-metre 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]


STANVAC is short for the Standard Vacuum Oil Company, a joint venture between the Socony Vacuum Oil Company of New York and Standard Oil of New Jersey, the latter the predecessor to Exxon Mobil.

Volkswagen Group MQB platform

Image
The Volkswagen Group MQB platform is the company's strategy for shared modular design construction of its transverse, front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout (optional front-engine, four-wheel-drive layout) automobiles. Volkswagen spent roughly $60bn [1] developing this new platform and the cars employing it. The platform underpins a wide range of cars from the supermini class to the mid size SUV class. MQB allows Volkswagen to assemble any of its cars based on this platform across all of its MQB ready factories. This allows the Volkswagen group flexibility to shift production as needed between its different factories. Beginning in 2012, Volkswagen Group marketed the strategy under the code name MQB , which stands for Modularer Querbaukasten , translating from German to "Modular Transversal Toolkit" or "Modular Transverse Matrix".
