How much jet fuel can be refined from 1000000 barrels of crude oil?

The amount of jet fuel that can be refined from crude oil varies depending on the specific refining process and the characteristics of the crude oil. On average, about 10-15% of crude oil can be converted into jet fuel. Therefore, from 1,000,000 barrels of crude oil, approximately 100,000 to 150,000 barrels of jet fuel could typically be produced.


How much waste is in a barrel of crude oil?

How much fuel does a cargo ship use?

Many ships use MDO or Marine Diesel Oil, sometimes also known as #2 Diesel. Ships can also use HFO or Heavy Fuel Oil or Bunker C. These are crude oil derivatives that are largely unrefined. They are very thick and need to be heated by steam in order to reduce its viscosity to allow them to flow.


How much crude oil as a percent of total crude brought in on average does a typical oil refinery burn to make it's various products?

On average, a typical oil refinery burns about 5% to 10% of the crude oil it processes to generate the heat and energy needed for refining operations. This energy is essential for distillation and other processes used to convert crude oil into various products such as gasoline, diesel, and petrochemicals. The exact percentage can vary depending on the refinery's design, efficiency, and the specific processes used.

What is diesel fuel?

Diesel fuel is the kind of fuel used by diesel engines. Its a combustible fuel refined from crude oil - just as is gasoline - but diesel has a much higher flash point than gasoline. Its grade is measured in cetane rather than octane


One barrelhow much liters?

I suppose it depends on the size of the barrell...


Why does petroleum have to be refined?

Petroleum comes out of the ground as crude oil. Crude oil has different properties it is not clean and depending on where it is from needs cleaning up and the removal of components that are not desirable in the running of an engine. Crude is divided into many different products ranging from plastic to petrol to highly refined fuels like petrol. To run an engine on straight crude oil you would need a much bigger engine much more fuel and it would prove to be environmentally very bad.You would also need a totally different system for getting the fuel into the cylinders because crude oil is very thick and would not flow or evaporate like petrol


How much gasoline is produced from one barrel of oil?

One barrel (42 gallons) of crude oil, when refined, yields approximately 19.6 gallons of finished motor gasoline. The remainder of the barrel yields distillate fuel oil, residual fuel oil, jet fuel, and other products.


Why is crude oil classed as a nonrenewable fuel?

Crude oil is classified as a nonrenewable fuel because it takes millions of years to form from the decomposition of organic matter under high pressure and heat. The rate of oil consumption is much faster than the rate of its formation, making it a finite resource that cannot be replenished within a human time scale. Once extracted and burned, crude oil is permanently depleted.
