OIL AND GAS REFINING
Refining generally refers to petroleum refining. Originally, petroleum is separated by distillation to produce fuel oil such as kerosene, gasoline, diesel oil, etc., which are suitable for internal combustion engines, and the by-products are petroleum gas and residual oil; , catalytic cracking and other processes are chemically converted into fuel oil, and some of these fuel oils need to be refined by hydrogenation and other processes. The heavy vacuum residue is processed by solvent deasphalting to produce deasphalted oil and petroleum bitumen, or by delayed coking process, the heavy oil is cracked into fuel oil components, and petroleum coke is produced as a by-product. The lubricating oil refinery produces various special industrial oils such as engine lubricating oil, mechanical oil, transformer oil, hydraulic oil, etc. through solvent refining, solvent dewaxing and supplementary hydrogenation. In recent years, the hydrogenation process has been more used in the production of fuel oil and lubricating oil. In addition, refineries that produce feedstocks for petrochemicals use hydrocracking processes.
