From the production of crude oil through to the complex process of refining and finally finished fuel products, this lecture provides an insight into how a modern day refinery works using Coryton Refinery as a case study. Many of us have seen an oil refinery in the distance at some time in our lives, and know that the petrol we use in our cars probably comes from a refinery, but how do they really work? What products other than petrol are made there? And which processes are used to turn thick, black crude oil into those usable products?
Petroplus Coryton Refinery based in Essex is a world scale refinery with a throughput of 240,000 barrels per day of feed. It supplies transport fuel to London, South East of England, Europe and countries across the Atlantic and in Africa.
The speaker has over 18 years of experience in the refining business. He was formerly Technical Manager and is now Commercial Manager
