[null,"The capacity reported should be the installed nameplate capacity. That is, the theoretical maximum of input that a facility can process within a year period when running at full capacity under optimal crude and product slate conditions with no allowance for downtime. This corresponds to the capacity of existing infrastructure as reported in the Annex 3/4 of the European Investment Survey (Commission Implementing Regulation 1113/2004). "]
[]
[null,"Atmospheric Distillation: Atmospheric distillation takes place in a distilling column at or near atmospheric pressure."]
[]
[null,"Vacuum Distillation: Vacuum Distillation takes place under reduced pressure (less than the atmospheric) which lowers the boiling temperature of the liquid being distilled."]
[]
[null,"Cracking (Thermal): Thermal Cracking is a refining process in which heat and pressure are used to break down, rearrange, or combine hydrocarbon molecules."]
[]
[null,"Visbreaking: A thermal cracking process in which heavy atmospheric or vacuum-still bottoms are cracked at moderate temperatures to increase production of distillate products and reduce viscosity of the distillation residues."]
[null,"Coking: A refining process which produces light and intermediate distillates by the thermal cracking of molecules of higher molecular weight.  As a by-product of this process, petroleum coke is obtained. "]
[]
[null,"Cracking (Catalytic): Catalytic cracking breaks complex hydrocarbons into simpler molecules using a catalyst. This process rearranges the molecular structure of hydrocarbon compounds to convert heavy hydrocarbon feedstock into lighter fractions such as kerosene, gasoline, LPG, heating oil and petrochemical feedstock."]
[]
[null,"Fluid catalytic cracking (FCC): Fluid catalytic cracking is a process for converting high boiling gas oils to lighter liquids, primarily gasoline range naphtha and diesel range gas oils, using a fluidized, powdered catalyst. The most widely practiced refinery conversion process."]
[null,"Hydro-cracking (HCK): Hydrocracking is a two-stage process combining catalytic cracking and hydrogenation, wherein heavier feedstocks are cracked in the presence of hydrogen to produce more desirable products. The process employs high pressure, high temperature, a catalyst and hydrogen."]
[]
[null,"Desulphurisation: Desulphurisation units are used to remove sulphur and its compounds from petroleum products during the refining process."]
[]
[null,"Light distillates:  Motorgasoline, naphtha, refinery gas, liquid petroleum gases, ethane, aviation gasoline, gasoline type jet fuel, white spirit."]
[null,"Middle distillates: Gas/diesel oil, kerosene type jet fuel, other kerosene, paraffin waxes."]
[null,"Heavy distillates: Fuel oil, bitumen, petroleum coke, non-specified"]
[]
[null,"Reforming: A technique by which the molecular structure of a hydrocarbon is rearranged to alter its properties. The process is frequently applied to low-quality gasoline stocks to improve their combustion characteristics. Examples are thermal reforming and catalytic reforming."]
[]
[null,"Alkylation, Polymerisation, Isomerisation:"]
[]
[null,"Alkylation: A refining process for chemically combining isobutane with olefin hydrocarbons (e.g. propylene, butylene) through the control of temperature and pressure in the presence of an acid catalyst."]
[null,"Polymerisation: A process of converting light olefin gases including ethylene, propylene, and butylene into hydrocarbons of higher molecular weight and higher octane number that can be used as gasoline blending stocks. "]
[null,"Isomerisation: A process for converting n-butane, n-pentane and n-hexane into their respective isoparaffins of substantially higher octane number. Butane isomerisation produces feedstock for alkylation."]
[]
[null,"Etherification: Etherification units are mainly used to produce methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE), tertiary amyl methyl ether (TAME), ethyl tertiary butyl ether (ETBE) and other fuel ethers."]
