The Great
Refinery Run

Phase 1: Extraction

Tap the pump jack, the tank, or the button to extract crude oil!

Phase 1b: The Desalter

Crude oil has salty water in it! Zap the salt 🧂 and water 💧 before they escape the grid! But don't zap the oil ⚫️!

Phase 2: Distillation

Inside the tower, crude oil gets heated and separates by weight! Choose a product path:

Phase 3: Hydrotreating

We need to clean the sulfur out!

HF Alkylation Unit

Tap the 🫧 molecules in the emulsion layer to make Alkylate! Warning: Drag the dark tar (ASO) 🟤 to the Acid Regen box before acid purity drops below 80%!

Catalytic Reformer

Naphtha is low octane! 🔥 the furnace to heat the straight molecules, release Hydrogen, and reshape them into powerful Ring ⬡ molecules!

Vacuum Tower

Resid is too thick to distill normally! Remove the air pressure so the heavy oil boils at a lower temperature.

Coker Fractionator

The hot vapors from the drum separate into cracked products! Choose one to process:

Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC)

VGO molecules 🟠 are too big to use as fuel! Tap them to CRACK them apart! Cracking causes coke buildup ⚫! Don't forget to regen your catalyst.

Phase 4: Blending & Processing

Phase 5: Logistics

Your product is ready! How do you want to deliver it?

Delivering Your Product!

Mission Accomplished! 🥳 You did your part to contribute to the 630 million gallons of fuel the US needs EVERY day.

Pipe X-Ray Maintenance

Incoming Diesel pipe integrity compromised! Scan for thin spots, tap to mark them, then switch to the clamp tool to fix them!
