 In
the oil refining process, crude oil is converted into a number of
different products, such as fuel oil, diesel oil, gasoline and organic-based chemicals during a complex series of cracking, distillation,
cleaning and mixing steps. The process requires energy and a number of
additives. During the process volatile organic compounds from the fuel
evaporate into the atmosphere. Exchanges associated with oil refining
vary from refinery to refinery depending on end-product, refining
technology, equipment used as well as operational practices.
