Other Products From Crude Oil

By Deborah Murray


At normal temperature, hydrocarbons which consist mainly of these items as well as polar compounds are being focused by numerous scientists. We can difference petroleum waxes into two. Wax and asphaltene solvent are the heaviest and most popular compounds of these fossil fuels.

Crude oil is a basic raw material available from the Mother Nature. This is a mixture of oil with so many substances or chemicals and is not inflammable. It requires so many stages of tiresome and risk involved filtering before this item getting into petrol or diesel. Petrol is the last stage of this crude oil.

Of this petrol is the most important and most sought after product getting from crude oil. It mainly used in moving vehicles. Its also the most purified form and is most sought after by product of this oil. It is highly inflammable and is widely used in running vehicles worldwide.

With the advancement of science and technology, its consumption is only increasing as new and new cities are coming and many economically small countries are now getting increased development thus increasing its consumption. Widely feared that if human beings will use this liquid fuel at this rate of consumption will soon deplete the total fuels in near future. So there is always a quest for finding an alternative to petrol. Though electricity or solar power is widely used to counter its ingestion, so far it has not helped to reduce its intake.

Ethanol is freely available in nature. It can be extracted from renewable sources which are not direct source of food or beverages. It can also be extracted from waste obtained while producing cooking oil. There are many feasibility studies carried out against production of methyl on commercial basis.

Kerosene is another by product. Best next to next to tar and so is less expensive. Primary use is primarily used in olden days to light lambs in rural areas. These are also used as a fuel in boats or manual generators. These are also a good solvent of most of the petroleum products. It can remove stains as well. However these are banned in traveling in train transport.

Few particles also kill the micro organisms and living organisms inside the water. It removes the oxygen content in the water making the water living fish and other living things difficult to breathe. So it is very important that our water is not contaminated with these deposits.

The last product of various services is the tar. This is really the waste of the refinery. But the demand for tar nowadays is so heavy that we cannot buy it on open market and there is a ration for this product so that its consumption is not increased. Why the price is not increased is because they are widely used by the government in constructing roads. Metal lining the road is the most important thing and tar is only most necessary ingredient.

Diesel is another product. These are relatively heavy dark in color and are obtained without much purification. For this reason, the cost of it will be relatively low. They are primarily used for heavy vehicles such buses, load carrying lorry or for trains.
