[QUOTE="Campground Cattle, post: 211603, member: 195"] You are converting hydrocarbon molecules parifins that look like spaghetti to Aromatics,Isomers, and napthenes which look more like little balls and have a higher octane by rearrangeing the molecules. Example if you put a pound of spaghetti in a bucket and a pound of little balls in a bucket, they both weigh a pound but the little balls are greater in volume. There are several catalytic reactions under pressures to 3800 psi to convert everything from resid a tar like substance to gasoline. With technology we can convert 90% of the barrel to transportation fuel. This is still not enough to keep up with demand. The USA would have to build a 250,000 barrel a day refinery a year to keep up with growth projected for the next five years. We have not built a new refinery in this country since the mid seventies. Americans use on average of 5 times as much fuel per person as European countries. Example the big yellow school bus that comes by your house that your tax dollars are buying fuel for that is empty and every kid is driving to school. In my lifetime the average American household has went from one vehicle to three with four wheelers, boats, and all kinds of other toys. We are spoiled and it has caught up with us, cheap energy days are over with the growth of China and India and other third world countries. Clinton destroyed the American Oil Industry, American refineries don't just make gasoline for America it goes to who is willing to pay. Most of our refineries are forgien owned now. ARCO(bp)Amoco(bp) Shell (dutch) Fina(French) Texaco(Saudis) Castrol(bp) Citgo(Venzulians). Our hope is coal as we have most of the known world reserves,along with nuclear and hydro electicity . Sorry for the long post I haven't made a post about production in a long time as most Americans don't want to believe we are going to have to change as the days of cheap energy are gone the rest of the world has caught up and is growing and is thristy. Back to work got to make some more gasoline. [/QUOTE]
