refinería
A refinería, also known as an oil refinery or petroleum refinery, is an industrial process plant where crude oil is processed and refined into more useful petroleum products such as gasoline, diesel fuel, asphalt base, heating oil, kerosene, and jet fuel. The process involves several stages, including atmospheric and vacuum distillation, conversion processes, and treatment processes.
The first stage of refining is distillation, where crude oil is heated to separate it into fractions
Conversion processes are used to upgrade the lighter fractions and convert them into more valuable products.
Treatment processes are used to remove impurities and contaminants from the refined products. These processes include
Refinerías play a crucial role in the global energy supply, as they convert crude oil into the
