Simple/Topping Refinery:

The most basic refining configuration, referred to as

topping refinery, consists of only crude distillation and
basic support operations.
The topping refinery separates the crude oil into light gas
and refinery fuel, naphtha, distillates (kerosene, jet fuel,
diesel and heating oils) and residual or heavy fuel oil.
The naphtha are gasoline boiling range materials, a portion
of which may be suitable as very low octane gasoline in
some cases.
Product quality and volume is dependent on crude oil
source.
Distillate contains lots of heavy products.
Gasoline has low octane value.
A refinery typical in Europe or Asia is a hydro skimmer or
topping refinery
Is relatively simple since it is not necessary to satisfy a
demand for gasoline.
% Product yield: Gas: 2%, Gasoline 32%, Diesel: 30%,
Fuel oil: 37%.
