Uranium is not used in the petroleum industry.
The petroleum industry consists of so many different types of processes because so many different things can be made from petroleum.
Petroleum coke, also calledpetcoke, is a rocklike leftover of the oil refining process. Energy can be created from petroleum coke, so it is often turned into dry cells and fuels based on the type of coke it is. There are several classifications of petroleum coke, and each one is used to create different substances.Calcined petroleum coke is made when petroleum coke is calcined, or roasted, just below the melting point. This coke is commonly used in the smelting industry for the creation of metals such as titanium, aluminum and steel. This is because calcined coke is used as an anode to produce these metals.The largest single nonfuel use of petroleum coke is in the manufacture of carbon anodes for the aluminum smelting industry which accounts for almost 80 percent of all petroleum coke produced.
refineries
It depends on acountry. The most popular gaskets for the refineries are semi metallic gaskets (Spiral Wound Gaskets andKammprofiles).

Gasoline is produced in oil refineries, also called petroleum refineries. Other products made there are diesel fuel, asphalt base, heating oil, kerosene, and liquefied petroleum gas.
silver gets tarnished near petroleum refineries because a gas called hydrogen sulphide is released from refineries which reacts with silver to form a black substance called silver sulphide.
