Atmospheric distillation of crude oil

Refining of crude oils essentially consists of primary separation processes and secondary conversion processes.

See Gdańsk Refinery and Atmospheric distillation of crude oil

B3 oil field

B3 is a major oil and gas field in the Baltic Sea. Gdańsk Refinery and B3 oil field are energy in Poland.

See Gdańsk Refinery and B3 oil field

Bitumen

Bitumen is an immensely viscous constituent of petroleum.

See Gdańsk Refinery and Bitumen

Catalytic reforming

Catalytic reforming is a chemical process used to convert petroleum refinery naphthas distilled from crude oil (typically having low octane ratings) into high-octane liquid products called reformates, which are premium blending stocks for high-octane gasoline.

See Gdańsk Refinery and Catalytic reforming

Cracking (chemistry)

In petrochemistry, petroleum geology and organic chemistry, cracking is the process whereby complex organic molecules such as kerogens or long-chain hydrocarbons are broken down into simpler molecules such as light hydrocarbons, by the breaking of carbon–carbon bonds in the precursors.

See Gdańsk Refinery and Cracking (chemistry)

Diesel fuel

Diesel fuel, also called diesel oil, heavy oil (historically) or simply diesel, is any liquid fuel specifically designed for use in a diesel engine, a type of internal combustion engine in which fuel ignition takes place without a spark as a result of compression of the inlet air and then injection of fuel.

See Gdańsk Refinery and Diesel fuel

Gasoline

Gasoline or petrol is a petrochemical product characterized as a transparent, yellowish, and flammable liquid normally used as a fuel for spark-ignited internal combustion engines.

See Gdańsk Refinery and Gasoline

Gdańsk

Gdańsk is a city on the Baltic coast of northern Poland, and the capital of the Pomeranian Voivodeship.

See Gdańsk Refinery and Gdańsk

Heavy fuel oil

Heavy fuel oil (HFO) is a category of fuel oils of a tar-like consistency.

See Gdańsk Refinery and Heavy fuel oil

Jet fuel

Jet fuel or aviation turbine fuel (ATF, also abbreviated avtur) is a type of aviation fuel designed for use in aircraft powered by gas-turbine engines.

See Gdańsk Refinery and Jet fuel

Kerosene

Kerosene, or paraffin, is a combustible hydrocarbon liquid which is derived from petroleum.

See Gdańsk Refinery and Kerosene

Liquefied petroleum gas

Liquefied petroleum gas, also referred to as liquid petroleum gas (LPG or LP gas), is a fuel gas which contains a flammable mixture of hydrocarbon gases, specifically propane, ''n''-butane and isobutane.

See Gdańsk Refinery and Liquefied petroleum gas

List of oil refineries

This is a list of oil refineries.

Naphtha

Naphtha is a flammable liquid hydrocarbon mixture.

See Gdańsk Refinery and Naphtha

Nelson complexity index

The Nelson complexity index (NCI) is a measure to compare the secondary conversion capacity of a petroleum refinery with the primary distillation capacity.

See Gdańsk Refinery and Nelson complexity index

Oil industry in Poland

The oil industry in Poland began at Bóbrka Field in 1853, followed by the first refinery in 1854. Gdańsk Refinery and oil industry in Poland are energy in Poland.

See Gdańsk Refinery and Oil industry in Poland

Oil refinery

An oil refinery or petroleum refinery is an industrial process plant where petroleum (crude oil) is transformed and refined into products such as gasoline (petrol), diesel fuel, asphalt base, fuel oils, heating oil, kerosene, liquefied petroleum gas and petroleum naphtha.

See Gdańsk Refinery and Oil refinery

Płock refinery

The Płock refinery is a large oil refinery and petrochemical complex located in Płock, Poland. Gdańsk Refinery and Płock refinery are energy in Poland and oil refineries in Poland.

See Gdańsk Refinery and Płock refinery

Peat

Peat is an accumulation of partially decayed vegetation or organic matter.

See Gdańsk Refinery and Peat

Petroleum

Petroleum or crude oil, also referred to as simply oil, is a naturally occurring yellowish-black liquid mixture of mainly hydrocarbons, and is found in geological formations.

See Gdańsk Refinery and Petroleum

Saipem

Saipem S.p.A. (Società Azionaria Italiana Perforazioni E Montaggi lit. Drilling and Assembly Italian Public Limited Company) is an Italian multinational oilfield services company and one of the largest in the world.

See Gdańsk Refinery and Saipem

United Arab Emirates

The United Arab Emirates (UAE), or simply the Emirates, is a country in West Asia, in the Middle East.

See Gdańsk Refinery and United Arab Emirates

Vacuum distillation

Vacuum distillation or distillation under reduced pressure is a type of distillation performed under reduced pressure, which allows the purification of compounds not readily distilled at ambient pressures or simply to save time or energy.
