2. Fuel oil - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_oil

   An oil tanker taking on fuel, or "bunkering". Fuel oil is any of various fractions obtained from the distillation of petroleum (crude oil). Such oils include distillates (the lighter fractions) and residues (the heavier fractions). Fuel oils include heavy fuel oil (bunker fuel), marine fuel oil (MFO), furnace oil (FO), gas oil (gasoil), heating ...

3. Hydrodesulfurization - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrodesulfurization

   Hydrodesulfurization (HDS), also called hydrotreatment or hydrotreating, is a catalytic chemical process widely used to remove sulfur (S) from natural gas and from refined petroleum products, such as gasoline or petrol, jet fuel, kerosene, diesel fuel, and fuel oils. [1] [2] [3] The purpose of removing the sulfur, and creating products such as ...

4. Petroleum product - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petroleum_product

   Petroleum products are materials derived from crude oil (petroleum) as it is processed in oil refineries. Unlike petrochemicals, which are a collection of well-defined usually pure organic compounds, petroleum products are complex mixtures. [1] Most petroleum is converted into petroleum products, which include several classes of fuels.

5. Merox - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merox

   Merox is an acronym for mercaptan oxidation. It is a proprietary catalytic chemical process developed by UOP used in oil refineries and natural gas processing plants to remove mercaptans from LPG, propane, butanes, light naphthas, kerosene, and jet fuel by converting them to liquid hydrocarbon disulfides. The Merox process requires an alkaline ...

6. Heavy fuel oil - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heavy_fuel_oil

   Heavy fuel oil (HFO) is a category of fuel oils of a tar -like consistency. Also known as bunker fuel, or residual fuel oil, HFO is the result or remnant from the distillation and cracking process of petroleum. For this reason, HFO is contaminated with several different compounds including aromatics, sulfur, and nitrogen, making emissions upon ...

7. Abiogenic petroleum origin - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abiogenic_petroleum_origin

   The abiogenic petroleum origin hypothesis proposes that most of earth's petroleum and natural gas deposits were formed inorganically, commonly known as abiotic oil. [1] Scientific evidence overwhelmingly supports a biogenic origin for most of the world's petroleum deposits. [2][3] Mainstream theories about the formation of hydrocarbons on earth ...
