REFINERY

PRODCTS
An oil refinery is an organized and coordinated arrangement of
manufacturing processes designed to produce physical and
chemical changes in crude oil to convert it into everyday products
like petrol, diesel, lubricating oil, fuel oil and bitumen.
THERE ARE NUMBER OF PRODUCTS OF PETROLEUM

One 42-gallon barrel of oil creates 19.4 gallons of gasoline. The rest (over half) is used to
make things like:

Solvents
