Oil Refineries Ltd

Manor Way, A1014 provides road access to the mainland a rail line for freight nms fmiii the main line through the Shell UK Oil refinery to Thames Haven, and to the Mobil Oil disiribution terminal at Coi-yton. A deep water channel provides access to the ten jetties of the two refineries. The control room and pumping station for the U.K. oil pipeline is located at Coryton. Oil products are transported by pipeline from Texaco Ltd on Canvey Island and from the two oil refineries ou the mainland Helicopters from the site landing pad. survey the pprelines. 

Calor Gas Ltd. stores a small quantity of liquefied gas because it can be delivered readily hs pipelines from the neighboring oil refineries. The five tanks each storage about 60 tonnes capacity at ambient temperature. Three are tised for propane and two for butane. The total quantity of gas contained in filled cyl mders averages 500 tonnes. 

Ammonium nitrate is made at Fisons Ltd and stored in solution in two heated tanks to prevent ciystalization. One tank holds 3,100 tonnes and the other 6,200 tonnes of 92% aqueous ammonium nitrate solution. Trains laden with oil refinery products from the Mobil and Shell refineries pass the factory on a near embankment. A derailment could spill and ignite hydrocarbons from a rail tank car to explode an ammonium nitrate storage tank. Suggestions were made to mitigate or prevent such a domino effect...

To provide raw material for this comparative study of untreated and heat-treated oils, asphaltenes from Cold Lake crude (crude asphaltenes) and from Cold Lake vacuum residuum (residuum asphaltenes) were prepared by n-heptane precipitation as described in the Experimental section. The Cold Lake residuum fraction was prepared by Imperial Oil Enterprises, Ltd. at Sarnia, Ontario, Canada. The distillation history of this bottoms fraction indicates that the pot material was subjected to temperatures as high as 314-318°C during atmospheric and vacuum distillation. The length of time at 300°C or higher was about two hours. This is well in excess of what would be experienced in a pipestill and should have provided ample time for any decomposition. It should be noted, however, that since it was possible to maintain the system vacuum at 0.35 mm, the maximum temperature experienced by the residuum was not quite as high as it might be during refinery distillation (e.g. ca 350°C). 

Meanwhile, massive investments are being made in new petrochemical and refinery plants in China, the Middle East and India. Saudi Arabia is vastly increasing the size of its petrochemicals facilities, often in partnership with leading global oil companies. In India, one of the world s largest refinery complexes was completed in December 2008. Reliance Industries Ltd., invested 6 billion to double its Jamnagar refinery near the Pakistani border, which is now producing at full capacity of 580,000 barrels per day. Approximately 60% of new refinery construction is in Asia and the Middle East, predominantly in China, India, Saudi Arabia, Vietnam, Indonesia, Kuwait and Japan. One of the leaders in the investment in new refineries is Saudi Aramco.

The result of this trial has been taken into account. In the case of recycling the light oil to naphtha, the gasoline tax or kerosene tax is not imposed on self-consumption in the liquefaction process. Light oil produced in Sapporo and Niigata, has been fed 1000 KL to the Miznshima refinery of Japan Energy Co. Ltd. [7]. 

The first Model IV units were placed on stream in November and December, 1952. These were a 15,000-barrel/day plant at the Destrehan, Louisiana, refinery of Pan-Am Southern Corporation and an 11,000-barrel/ day plant at the Edmonton, Alberta, refinery of Imperial Oil, Ltd. Additional Model IV units with capacities up to 30,000 barrels/day have been built, and a 55,000-barrel/day unit has been announced (47a). 

Since 1965, the refinery of Canadian Petrofina, Ltd., Montreal, Canada, has recovered vanadium commercially from ash obtained by burning residual oil ("fluid coke") the crude oil used contains only about 130 ppm V. The recovery of vanadium from the fly ash of burning a similar residual oil obtained from refining Athabasca tar sands, Alberta, Canada, has been proposed the extracted oil contains about 200 ppm V. ...
