7. Flint Hills Resources

Construction has been taking place on a terminal to distribute ammonium thiosulfate (ATS). ATS is a fertilizer made from byproducts of the refining process. New fuel standards for the amount of sulfur that is permitted in gasoline have resulted in an excess amount of sulfur being pulled from petroleum as it is refined. This is used to make ATS.
