What are petroleum distillates?
Petroleum distillates are products made from crude oil. The process of taking crude oil and creating finished products is called distillation. The first step of the refining process is running crude oil through a distillation tower. At this time crude oil is separated into different basic products which then undergo further process at the refinery to create products that are sold to consumers. There are three classes of distillate products: Light: Liquid Petroleum Gas(LPG), gasoline, and naptha. Medium: Kerosene (and jet fuel) and diesel. Heavy/Residuum: Heavy fuel/bunker fuel, wax, and asphalt.
What is the meaning of refinery of crude oil?
A crude oil refinery is a factory. The factory takes the crude oil, and turns it into useful products, like gasoline.
How is diesel energy produced?
Diesel is made by refining crude oil. It's a non-renewable, fossil fuel.
What is petroleum byproducts?
Petroleum byproducts are secondary products that are derived during the refining process of crude oil. Crude oil, when extracted from the earth, is a complex mixture of hydrocarbons and other compounds. In order to obtain useful products such as gasoline, diesel, kerosene, and others, crude oil is refined through a series of processes. During this refining, several byproducts are produced which have their own set of applications. Some common petroleum byproducts include: **Asphalt**: Used for paving roads and roofing materials. **Paraffin Wax**: Used in candles, packaging, and cosmetics. **Lubricating Oils**: Used in machinery and engines. **Naphtha**: A volatile flammable liquid hydrocarbon mixture which can be used as a solvent or in making some chemicals. **Tar**: Used for road construction and roofing. **Petroleum Coke**: Used in the production of electrodes for the steel and aluminum industries. **Sulfur**: Extracted during the refining process and used in the production of sulfuric acid, fertilizers, and other chemicals. **Petrochemicals**: These are chemicals derived from petroleum and are used as raw materials in a wide range of products such as plastics, synthetic rubber, dyes, resins, and more.
Uses of reforming proesses over other refinery processes?
Reforming is the process used to increase the total volume of gasoline that can be produced from a barrel of crude oil. Refining is the process of turning the crude oil into components for other uses.
How are substnces taken from crude oil?
The refining of crude oil requires separation, distillation, reforming, cracking and related processes to resolve the mixture of components into products.
Is rubber made from oil?
Synthetic rubber is made from molecules generated during the process of refining crude oil or natural gas liquids. Natural rubber is derived from rubber trees and is not derived from oil.
How does the oil reach the refinery answer?

Is crude oil different from fuel?
Yes. Fuel (gasoline) is the product that is the result of the refining of crude oil.
Where did the kerosenes come from?
They are fractions from crude oil refining.
What is produced when oil is refined?
if you mean CRUDE OIL by term 'oil' then products like petrol,gasoline,asphalt,kerosene,waxes etc. are obtained by fractional distillation or refining of crude oil. In the process of oil refining ,first step is neutralization or removiving of free fatty acids, during this first step soap is produced.
Is there a method of extracting biopesticides from Jatropha crude oil?
Bio-pesticides are derived as residual bi-products after fermentation of the jatropha crude oil for biodiesel production
Is soyabean oil crude oil?
No because soyabean oil is derived from soyabeans while crude oil is derived from fossil fuels.
What advantages does natural gas have over a oil?
Natural gas is less expensive to produce than distilling crude oil for heating. Though, many different products are produced by distilling and refining crude oil, especially in plastics, etc.
