  • What is a petroleum refinery?
  • A petroleum refinery is a set of installations intended to transform crude oil, generally unusable as such, into petroleum products: motor gasoline, jet fuel, diesel fuel, fuel oil, lubricants, liquefied petroleum gases, naphtha, and so on. The products consumed in largest volumes are motor gasoline, motor diesel, and heavy fuel oil.
  • What is oil refining?
  • The process of turning crude oil into useful commercial products is termed ¡® refining ¡¯ and is carried out in very complex plants called oil refinery. Prior to the refinery process, water and sediments (particulates) that accompany the oil from oil wells are removed by sedimentation.
  • What types of products are produced in a refinery?
  • The refinery process produced three groups of products: light fraction (e.g. gas such as liquid petroleum gas¡ªLPG, gasoline, aviation fuel, etc.); middle distillates or medium fraction (e.g. kerosene, lubrication oil, light gas oil, diesel oil, etc.); and heavy fraction or bottom residue (e.g. asphalt and bitumen, waxes, etc.).
  • Will there be a petroleum discovery in Malawi?
  • ion Companies have shown huge potential of Petroleum occurrences in Malawi.Despite this fact, not enough preparations have been made for the possibility of a Petroleum discovery in the country in terms of putting in place comprehensive policy, laws, regulations, model contracts and setting up inst
  • Do refineries convert crude oil into finished petroleum products?
  • Refineries exist to convert crude oil into finished petroleum products. Hence, to understand the fundamentals of petroleum refining, one must begin with crude oil. Hundreds of different crude oils (usually identified by geographic origin) are processed, in greater or lesser volumes, in the world¡¯s refineries.
  • Can refineries change operations?
  • Refineries can ¨C and do ¨C change the operations of their refineries to respond to the continual changes in crude oil and product markets, but only within physical limits defined by the performance characteristics of their refineries and the properties of the crude oils they process.
