How is petroleum refined into gasoline?

Hailee Fish

Question answered by Mr. Smartypants

It's distilled into its various components. Petroleum has hydrocarbon molecules of various lengths. The shortest is naphtha, the longest are heavy, gooey oils used in asphalt. Gasoline is somewhere in the middle, near the small end. If you heat up petroleum, each of these components has a different boiling point, so they all boil off one at a time.

Why is propane the same price as 4yrs ago but gasoline is double?

Its a byproduct of processing for natural gas and petroleum refining, both items that have seen an increase. No conspiracy theory here. Just thought a random thought that occurred to me this evening when picking up a tank for my Grill.

Question answered by not I said the ape

Are you implying conspiracy theories??? global economic growth has increased global demand for oil, and as a nonrenewable fossil fuel, the supply of oil is ever shrinking. drilling in, I believe south dakota, made quite a few headlines not too long ago, but apparently hasnt increased production and supply significantly enough to bring down prices. we are definitely getting over cooked, no doubt about that. our leaders have just been focusing on promoting and creating economic growth, and while I am sure that they are fairly intelligent, this sucker cannot grow bigger indefinitely. its gotta implode sooner or later. whoever pushed for globalization without an alternative and renewable fuel source must either have...nevermind. I dont want to know. that was a genius move though, sure. outsource jobs to increase unemployment, increase global consumption of nonrenewable resources, and establish extensive far-reaching trade dependences. great move I have several conspiracy theories. after all, I am conspiracy theorist number 1. surely oil is more than just a fuel source... well, its seems just about everything is always good for someone. there are many factors that could lead to higher prices for gasoline like increased demand and speculation. ive been kind of stupid lately, so to say that our leaders have been focusing on growth is somewhat absurd. sure, everyone always tries to grow their own personal wealth at every cost while many of us suffer out our existences, but I presume its all part of a greater plan to stem population growth.

Why is this major and minor a gamble compared to this one?

Why is a major in Petroleum Refining and a minor in Chemical Engineering a bigger gamble/more riskier than a major in Chemical Engineering and a minor in Petroleum Refining?

Question answered by Doc Martin

You can get a license as a Chemical Engineer if you have an ABET-accredited degree in Chemical Engineering, but not if you take Chemical Engineering as a Minor (not easily, anyway).

How much extra a gallon would you pay for 100% American gasolene?

How much extra a gallon would you pay for 100% American gasolene? American petroleum, refined in America. 100% American, with let's say, a 70% chance they're telling the truth.

What is the process of Petroleum Refining?

What are the steps in the physical processing and the chemical processing of petroleum? Like what does each process actually do?

Question answered by michaell

Raw or unprocessed ("crude") oil is not useful in the form it comes in out of the ground. Although "light, sweet" (low viscosity, low sulfur) oil has been used directly as a burner fuel for steam vessel propulsion, the lighter elements form explosive vapors in the fuel tanks and so it is quite dangerous, especially so in warships. For this and many other uses, the oil needs to be separated into parts and refined before use in fuels and lubricants, and before some of the byproducts could be used in petrochemical processes to form materials such as plastics, detergents, solvents, elastomers, and fibers such as nylon and polyesters. Petroleum fossil fuels are used in ship, automobile and aircraft engines. These different hydrocarbons have different boiling points, which means they can be separated by distillation. Since the lighter liquid elements are in great demand for use in internal combustion engines, a modern refinery will convert heavy hydrocarbons and lighter gaseous elements into these higher value products.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petroleum_refining

Have a few questions about a future in chemical engineering?

How much do chemical engineers make fresh out of college? (I am in southern Louisiana so I will be in petroleum refining.) What are good colleges for chemical engineering? What should I major in? Do you think it will be hard for me to get a job fresh out of college? (I will try to get a job in the Exxon Mobil Refinery.)

Question answered by Go with the flow

Google Chemical Engineering Salary It will probably take you to Salary.com I expect you to start out at least 50K a year - depending on the school you went to. Stick to engineering colleges in your area. Out of state tution can double the cost of college. University of New Orleans is pretty good - but there may be better. GA Tech is the best public college for engineering - 3rd best Only next to MIT and one in Calif. Very tough school to get into - you will need about a 29 in math in your act. Get a minor in petroleum engineering. This degree is in serious demand. No one wants to seem to want to take the risk of going into this field thinking that it will be non-existent in 20 years. In truth - we will also use oil - tires arnd plastics. I think I read that petroleum engineers are starting out at 75K. And yes, as a ChemE, your chances of getting into Exxon, Chevron, even BP down in Belle Chase are pretty darn good. In my opinion ChemE is for masochists. People that like to abuse themselves - but the rewards for your future are incredible. Want to take a serious risk? Major in Petroleum engineering with a minor in ChemE. That would be gambling with your life. But, could get you to be plant manager of an Exxon refinery by age 45. /

Is Miss Flora Oneil residing in the refugee camp in Dakar?

. About my parents, My late father Dr Harold Oneil was the managing director of Liberia Petroleum Refining Company ( LPRC ) and he was the Special adviser to the former Head of State ( late David D.Kpormakpor ) before the rebels attacked our house early one morning and killed my mother and my father in cold blood

What is the efficiency of refining petroleum?

Please show references or proof of your claim. I am looking a percentage of usable energy after refining over total energy before refining. You know, analogous to the ‘refining’ efficiency of hydrogen from water, 80-94% (6-20% loss due to inefficiencies, heat, etc.). PLEASE READ I've asked this question twice and have not gotten an answer. I do not want a link to wikipedia with 'petroleum' or 'refining'. If anyone would actaully read those two articles they do not have the efficiency!

Question answered by Gary H

In answering a previous question on automobile efficiency, I posted the following: [REPOST] The following lists efficiencies of both potential sources of energy in terms of converting to a form that a vehicle can use ("well to tank efficiency") and various types of vehicle propulsion systems possible ("tank to wheel efficiency"). "Tank to wheel" efficiency of common current vehicles is listed as being 22%. However, the well to tank efficiency for same is 88%. 22% of 88% equals a total efficiency of 19%. http://www.memagazine.org/mepower03/gauging/gauging.html This is a very interesting page. For example, all-electric vehicles are capable of running at 44% efficiency (this is almost the most efficient form of propulsion, a hybird Fisher-Tropsch diesel is the highest at 45%), but unfortunately, production of the electrical energy required to charge electric vehicles is only 48%, yielding total efficiency of 21% - though still slightly better than current vehicles, it's much less than I was aware of.

What is the difference between petroleum and gasoline?

In England they say 'Petrol', short for petroleum, whereas in the US they say 'Gas', short for gasoline. So what the hell is the difference between them? Surely they are not two completely different names for the same thing?

Question answered by Neo

Petroleum is the substance coming from oilfields, and containing a vast variety of organic substances (hydrocarbons). This petroleum is fed into a separation and reaction system, known as refinery, where different groups of substances are separated from the main petroleum mixture, for being sold after as other products. This new products are known as fractions. One of these fractions is gasoline, which contains hydrocarbons from C5 to C11 roughly. Summarizing, petroleum is a mixture of compounds that occurs naturally on Earth. Gasoline is a product drawn from petroleum through a refining process. There might be some misunderstandings due to different names among regions and countries, but the general use of both words is the one shown above.

where can i attend a comprehensive training for the maintenance, repair and operation of gas chromatographers?

Where can I attend a comprehensive training in repair, maintenance and opration of gas chromatographers and other analyzers used in petroleum refining? Thanks gas chromatographs and other analyzers used for petroleum refining.

Question answered by rpm92

Well, this is an international forum, I am in Thailand, you might be in iceland for all I know. So it is not possible to give you local information that you might consider more relevant. Bruker make this kind of equipment, and provide training for its use etc. They are an international organisation and my wife just attended a training course at their offices in Germany. They are www.bruker.com The operation of GC equipment will be a topic of various University chemistry courses, thats where I learned, although maintenance will probably only be taught by the manufacturers, such as Bruker.
