Petroleum refineries are traditional and simple.

Steemians, today I will share some photos of crude oil refining process manually and simply.

Drums that have been welded together. One row of 4 drums and one row again 4 drums to 8 drums. Both drum rows are equipped with holes for filling, refining flow holes and final drain holes.

Tub immersion with a width of 1.5m, a depth of 0.50m and a length of 10m. The immersion bath serves to neutralize the heat in the distillation pipe.

Drum a temporary shelter at the time of distillation.

Ready-made and ready-to-market oil.

Refining process:

Our crude oil input into the 1st tank of 350 ltr and the 350ltr 2nd tank. The fire we turn on by using residue. The residue is the last result of the distillation process. This residue we use as fuel for the 8distillation process.
the way is streamed through a small pipe down the drum tank, for approximately 2 hours in the heat oil into the drum tank will reach the boiling point and evaporate. steam will come out through a pipe that is soaked in water and out as a premium or gasoline. gasoline out as much as 120 liters, for each tank. after that no out again.

to get kerosene, fire must be raised to temperature 200-240˚c, kerosin will come out as much as 175 liters.After that did not come out again. To get the diesel fuel back up to 350 degrees Celsius, it will out as much as 45 liters of diesel fuel, the water in the tub should always be replaced with cold water, this distillation process will take 8 hours, so in 700 liters of oil raw in 2 tanks will produce 240 liters of gasoline, 350 liters of carbocyte and 90 liters of diesel, and the remainder becomes residue.
