Oil Refining an overview ScienceDirect Topics
Oil refining is an essential process for transforming crude oil into marketable products such as fuels, lubricants, and kerosene. A typical oil-refining process consists of several processing units such as distillation, cracking, coking, reforming, and posttreatment and refining of the products. The operation of these processes requires large amounts of thermal energy and results in the
