Glossary of Refining and Fuel Production Terminology

A

B8 Oil Field – A marine natural gas and oil field located about 68 km northeast of Rozewie.
Barrel – A primary unit of measurement in crude oil production, where one barrel contains 159 liters.

Component for bitumen production – Typically a heavy vacuum distillate fraction from crude oil, which can be further processed for bitumen production.
CONCAWE (CONservation of Clean Air and Water in Europe) – A non-profit organization of most refining manufacturers operating in Europe, aiming to examine the environmental impact of the refining business.
Conversion – Processes involving technological cracking to manufacture light products for fuel production. The most common conversion methods are thermal cracking, catalytic cracking, and hydrocracking.
Crack – A refining margin.
CS-LF – Coke Storage and Loading Facilities.

D
DAO (De-Asphalted Oil) – Oil produced with an SDA installation, used as raw material for further refining. It may be used for producing base oils or as input for cracking processes.
DCU – A Delayed Coker Unit.

E
Etanol – Ethyl alcohol, used as a biocomponent in fuel and biofuel production for cars with ignition engines.
ETBE (Ethyl Tert-Butyl Ether) – A high-octane biocomponent used in gasoline production, made from ethanol and isobutylene.

F
FAME (Fatty Acid Methyl Ester) – A biocomponent used in the manufacture of biofuels for diesel engine vehicles. FAME is produced by the transesterification of oil with methanol in the presence of a catalyst.
Forties Blend – A type of crude oil from the North Sea, known for its light petroleum and high potential in gasoline production due to its low sulfur content.
Furfurol extraction – A technology used to improve the quality of base mineral oils by removing unfavorable aromatic hydrocarbons, thereby increasing the viscosity index.

G
Gasoline reforming – A refining process that involves reacting hydrocarbons with a catalyst to create high-octane aromatic hydrocarbons and hydrogen.
General nitrogen – The total nitrogen content in various chemical forms found in the refinery process.

H
HDS (Hydrodesulfurization Diesel Unit) – A system used for the hydrodesulfurization of diesel oils.
Heavy heating oil – An oily liquid residue from crude oil distillation, used in industrial installations and combined power plants, and as bunker fuel for ships.
HGU (Hydrogen Generation Unit) – A system for hydrogen production.
HVDU – Hydrowax Vacuum Distillation Unit.
Hydrocomplex installation – A proposed development project at the Glimar Refinery, designed to produce high-quality fuel products and base oils, consisting of hydrocracking, hydroparaffining, and hydrorefining installations, among others. Work was discontinued after the refinery's bankruptcy in 2005.
Hydrocracking – A refining process used to produce high-quality fuel components by reacting vacuum distillates with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst, usually under high pressure.
Hydrorefining – A process used to purify paraffin by reacting it with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst.
