OVERVIEW OF BATON ROUGE REFINERY
• Refinery turns crude into prime products of mogas and diesel
• Four basic steps make up the Refinery process
- Distillation
- Cracking/Conversion ( mogas, create octane)
- Treating (remove impurities)
- Blending
• Out of these processes come molecules that can be used as
Chemicals feedstock
BASIC DEFINITIONS
Light Ends
Butane and Lighter
Naphthas
Generally refers to petroleum and natural gas liquid
products in the 60°F - 430 °F boiling point range
Middle distillates
Generally includes heating oil, diesel fuel, kerosene, and
jet fuel (220 °F - 750 °F boiling point range)
Gas oil
Petroleum distillate in the 400 °F+ boiling point range
Residuum (“resid”)
Heaviest oil fraction (left in Pipestill after gasoline and
other distillates have been distilled off)
Clean products
Mogas and heating oil
Also includes similar products which require more
refining than heavy fuels
*Mogas final boiling point approximately 430 ° F
