A Brief History of Oil Refining

Abstract: Since its beginnings in the mid-nineteenth century, oil refining technology has evolved in a continuous process of adaptation to the demands of society, in matters as vital as the supply of energy, lighting, transportation or new materials to improve the quality of life. In that time, this has been one of the greatest examples of how the technological innovation of an industry contributes to the welfare and development of society. The objective of this manuscript is to describe the history of these technologic… Show more

“…This approach also uses the residual carbon content of the feed as a single independent variable. Correlations were obtained from an extensive database collected in delayed coking plants at typical operating conditions for a wide range of feeds Figure (2). Feed properties range between 1.4 and 21.5° API gravity and CCR content between 2.84 and 25.5 wt %.…”

“…The simulated feed to delayed coker unit based on the Middle East Oil Refinery at Alexandria in Egypt which receives its crude oil from a blend of 50%: 50 % of Arabian Light Crude Oil and Arabian Heavy Crude Oil. The vacuum residue produced with the following composition and properties shown in Table (2) the feed cut point is 538 C° and fed with a temperature average 200 C° to the delayed coker unit.…”

“…However, with the limited subsidies given to biodiesel and the frequently contested "food vs. fuel" debate, the future of biodiesel will grow more uncertain. The ability to generate renewable feedstocks, such as plants and vegetables, in a way that keeps the price of biodiesel comparable with that of fossil fuels is a prerequisite to produce biodiesel (Balasubramanian & Steward 2019).…”

“…Globally, it is estimated that between 25 to 28 million tons of ULOs are produced annually, and a portion of these are released into the environment [6]. At this time, this has been one of the best examples of how technological innovation through the refining industry has contributed to the wellbeing and development of society [7].…”
