The Delaware inspection market
The Delaware City Refinery, owned by PBF Energy, is one of the largest and most complex refineries on the East Coast at roughly 190,000 barrels a day, running continuous API 510/570/653 turnaround inspection. Chemours is headquartered in Wilmington with an active R&D campus — part of Delaware's DuPont-founded chemical-manufacturing legacy — and Croda operates a specialty-chemical manufacturing site in the Newark/New Castle area. The Port of Wilmington, the largest port on the Delaware River, adds structural inspection demand for cranes, berths, and marine infrastructure. Delaware's industrial base is smaller than neighboring states, but the refinery anchor alone supports a real, if modestly scoped, technician pipeline.
