Crude Oil Qualities

Refers to two properties of crude oil, the sulfur content and API gravity, which affect processing complexity and product characteristics.

Distillate Fuel Oil

A general classification for one of the petroleum fractions produced in conventional distillation operations. It includes diesel fuels and fuel oils. Products known as No. 1, No. 2, and No. 4 diesel fuel are used in on-highway diesel engines, such as those in trucks and automobiles, as well as off-highway engines, such as those in railroad locomotives and agricultural machinery. Products known as No. 1, No. 2, and No. 4 fuel oils are used primarily for space heating and electric power generation.

ETBE (Ethyl tertiary butyl ether) (CH3)3 COC2 H5

An oxygenate blend stock formed by the catalytic etherification of isobutylene with ethanol.

Fresh Feed Input

Represents input of materials (crude oil, unfinished oils, natural gas liquids, other hydrocarbons and oxygenates or finished products) to processing units at a refinery that is being processed (input) into a particular unit for the first time.

Examples:

  1. Unfinished oils coming out of a crude oil distillation unit which are input into a catalytic cracking unit are considered ___ to the catalytic cracking unit.
  2. Unfinished oils coming out of catalytic cracking unit being looped back into the same catalytic cracking unit to be reprocessed are not considered ___.

Fuel Ethanol (C2H5OH)

An anhydrous denatured aliphatic alcohol intended for gasoline blending as described in Oxygenates definition.

Fuels Solvent Deasphalting

A refining process for removing asphalt compounds from petroleum fractions, such as reduced crude oil. The recovered stream from this process is used to produce fuel products.

Products obtained include ethane; liquefied petroleum gases (propane, butane, propane-butane mixtures, ethane-propane mixtures); isopentane; and other small quantities of finished products, such as motor gasoline, special naphthas, jet fuel, kerosene, and distillate fuel oil.

Natural Gas Processing Plant

Facilities designed to recover natural gas liquids from a stream of natural gas that may or may not have passed through lease separators and/or field separation facilities. These facilities control the quality of the natural gas to be marketed. Cycling plants are classified as gas processing plants.

Operable Utilization Rate

Represents the utilization and atmospheric crude oil distillation units. The rate is calculated by dividing the gross input to these units by the operable refining capacity of the units.

Other Oils Equal To or Greater Than 401° F

Crude oil burned on leases and by pipelines as fuel.

Propylene (C3H6) (Non-fuel Use)

___ that is intended for use in nonfuel applications such as petrochemical manufacturing. Nonfuel use ___ includes chemical-grade ___, polymer-grade ___, and trace amounts of propane.
