: Crude oil refining is about converting the raw material into the oil products that consumers demand. Crude oil is pumped ashore from large tankers and into crude oil tanks. From there it is pumped through a heating system (heat exchangers and furnace) to the main distillation tower for a "primary sorting" of the various main components. The refining processes are monitored and controlled from a control center by means of advanced electronics and computer based control programs.
