Deep Conversion Refinery (The most complex, deep conversion refineries are able to transform a wide variety of crudes, including the lower quality heavy sour crudes into the higher value products (e.g., gasoline, diesel). The ability to meet stringent product specifications, notably ultra low sulfur gasoline and diesel fuel, is also a characteristic of high complexity refineries. Historically, the very complex refineries have been most often located in the United States, where gasoline is in greatest demand. Highly complex refineries, however, are not restricted to the U.S. They are becoming more common in Europe and Asia. Kenny Gray) |
