The Refining Process

Petroleum products touch nearly every aspect of a person's life. Oil refining is simple in concept, complex to accomplish and fascinating to see it applied to daily life. This overview and the details that follow will provide a description of the units and processes used at Eti Maden-Petrol Refining Company.

The central concept behind oil refining is distillation. Distillation separates crude oil into light (fuels) and (asphalt) heavy oils. In order to deliver finished products that meet quality standards, different light fuel streams are then sent through a series of product-specific treatments.
