A refinery is a factory. Just as a paper mill turns lumber into paper, a refinery takes crude oil and turns it into gasoline and many other useful petroleum products. Alkylation, for example, makes gasoline components by combining some of the gaseous byproducts of cracking. The process, which essentially is cracking...

An oil refinery is a more than just a complicated maze of steel towers and pipes. It is actually a factory that takes crude oil and turns it into gasoline and hundreds of other products necessary for our modern society to function. Fluid catalytic cracking, or "cat cracking," is the basic gasoline-making process.

The metal atoms break the chemical bonds in sugar and release oxygen, which leaves a mixture including carbon and hydrogen that can be used to make plastics or gasoline. Even the gas byproducts of the process can be used as a replacement for natural gas. The oil company’s will shop this by making it agiant the law.

Oil refineries take crude oil and turn it into products such as gasoline, jet fuel, crayons and plastics. See more oil refining pictures. How is it possible to start with crude oil and end up with gasoline and all of these other products? The Refining Process...

Motor gasoline is one of the key products obtained from a petroleum (crude oil) refinery. It is a complex mixture of light hydrocarbons containing 5 The FCC system is a brilliant reaction scheme, which turns two negatives (heating and fouling) into a positive, thereby making the process extremely economical.

The new process skips the biodiesel step and turns oil straight into hydrogen and carbon monoxide gases by heating it to about 1,000 degrees C. About 70 percent of the hydrogen in the oil is converted to hydrogen gas.
