Petroleum Refinery

An oil refinery or petroleum refinery is an industrial process plant where crude oil is transformed and refined into more useful products such as petroleum naphtha, gasoline, diesel fuel, asphalt base, heating oil, kerosene, liquefied petroleum gas, jet fuel and fuel oils. Each production output takes place in the spatial setup of the integrated complex, increasing the complexity of the refinery’s spatial setup. The production process in the refinery can be designed within the framework of different spatial organization schemes.
