A typical oil refinery operates continuously, manufacturing a wide range of products for a variety of end uses. The products pass from the processing units to refinery tankage but, as storage capacity at refineries is finite, their early transfer into the distribution network is essential for operation to continue at or near the designed throughput.
Refineries have the capability to manufacture many different types of material: gases, solvents, jet and burning kerosine, cracker and petrochemical feedstocks, gasoline, diesel fuel, domestic heating oil, residual fuel, lubricants, waxes and bitumen. Applications in which these products are used vary widely but a very high proportion of refinery output is burned as fuel.
