The crude oil is, by far, the most used feedstock today in the world. Shale gas and coal can be other two feedstocks of sizable size and importance. Almost 90 % of crude is used to manufacture different type of fuels. Automotive fuel has the maximum demand. The refining process consists of separating the crude into different fractions of increasing boiling points from 40C to 400+C. These fractions are further treated or refined to make fuels of desired properties. In achieving this, monomers and other petrochemicals are also produced.
