Petroleum Refining Process
Petrol is a naturally occurring substance.
It is a dark liquid. The extracted liquid from beneath the earth’s surface cannot be used directly in vehicles and needs treatment (refining process) to separate many sub-products like lubricating oil, petrol, diesel, and so on. The refining process of petrol is done through an industrial process. Here, the crude oil which is extracted from the underground will be transformed and refined into useful products like jet fuel, kerosene, Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG), asphalt base, heating oil, gasoline, fuel oils and so on.
Crude oil mainly consists of hydrocarbon molecules. The Petroleum Refining Process consists of three steps namely – Separation, Conversion and Treatment.
