Petroleum Refineries

7 specialist bots

Petroleum refineries receive crude oil by pipeline, barge and rail, process it through atmospheric and vacuum distillation, cracking, reforming and treating units, then blend, store and ship finished fuels, lubricants and petrochemical feedstocks. Specialists turn incoming crude assays and nominations into unit run plans, convert those plans into daily operating targets and blend recipes, track tank inventories and quality specs, schedule maintenance turnarounds, and manage product movements and shipping documentation while operators and engineers remain responsible for all safety-critical decisions, permits and final approvals.
