How does Exxon?Mobile convert its oil into gasoline?

Crude oil comes from the ground. Depending on the location of the oil wells, the crude is more or less volatile. In Pennsylvania, where the first oil was discovered in the U.S., some of the crude is so light (volatile), it can actually be used as fuel in engines without refining. They call that kind of crude, casing head gasoline.





But, for the vast majority of crude, the oil has to be broken down into lighter products through refining. Refineries use heat to ';boil off'; these lighter products and collect them at various levels of the boilers. The lightest products go all the way to the top, where they are siphoned off and collected in tanks for mixing with chemicals to improve their capabilities.





Gasoline, kerosene, diesel, naphtha, paraffin, and other products are extracted from crude oil in these boilers called distillation towers. Many, if not most, of these lighter products are mixed with something to improve or modify their characteristics before they are shipped off for sale. For example, one gasoline company advertises it adds Techron to its gasoline to keep engines clean.





Finished products go to a variety of places by pipeline, tanker ships, and tanker trucks. The gasoline your car uses, is typically delivered to gasoline stations by tanker trucks. The trucks typically pick up their gasoline loads from warehouse facilities called bulk plants.How does Exxon?Mobile convert its oil into gasoline?
