WOODS CROSS -- Silver Eagle Refining continues to cautiously increase its production levels after a 2009 explosion rocked the refinery and surrounding area and temporarily suspended operations.

The refinery has now started its vacuum unit, which operates at a low pressure and has the capacity to process 5,000 barrels of oil per day, according to a news release issued by refinery spokeswoman Cindy Gubler.

The vacuum unit also refines "crude bottoms" to remove wax that the refinery sells for use in such items as crayons, candles and chewing gum.
