  • What is a mini refinery?
  • Mini-Refineries are skid mounted, modular crude oil distillation units (CDU) which process from 200-10,000 BPD of crude oil and are capable of producing numerous finished products including naphtha (straight run gasoline), kerosene, diesel and fuel oil. A reformer may be added for producing high-octane gasoline.
  • What are Indonesian mini refineries?
  • Indonesian mini refineries are a key part of the country¡¯s strategy to double oil output by 2025. There is growing national demand and problems with aging local facilities that mean production levels are falling. Mini refineries offer a quick route to high-value products and can help meet the need for increase capacity quickly.
  • Can developing economies exploit modular-mini refineries for petroleum refining and product manufacture?
  • Dr Himmat Singh, former Chief Scientist at the CSIR¨CIndian Institute of Petroleum, has been investigating how developing economies can exploit modular-mini refineries for petroleum refining and product manufacture. Petroleum starts its life as crude oil: a black, tarry mess of chemical compounds that is of limited use in its natural state.
  • Should refineries be mobile?
  • Having a refinery that is mobile can save on capital costs as well as improve turnaround time. No new refineries will ever be build over 50,000 BPSD in the USA. However remote refineries in newly developed oil fields in the Balkan are a possibility.
  • What is petroleum refining?
  • Turning crude oil into valuable petroleum gases, transportation fuels like gasoline and diesel, lubricant base stocks, bitumen etc involves a process called petroleum refining. Petroleum refining consists of several chemical engineering processes designed to separate the different chemical fractions/products from each other.
  • What is a mini-refinery?
  • The modular, mobile or mini-refinery has been a feature of the refining landscape since the earliest days of the oil industry. However, with economies of scale pushing plant sizes in the direction of ever larger facilities over the past two decades, the small refinery has been relegated to playing only a minor role in modern refining.
