Suggestion: Oil Processing Chain including Distillation Tower, Cracker, Reformer, etc.

Ice · Apr 26th 2014

Currently, I miss a detailed Oil Processing Chain, so I am suggesting one, which includes the GregTech Addon:

List of Machines:

Desalter: Cleans Oil through an emulsion with water
Needs 12,8k EU at 128 EU/t and 1000 mB of water in the internal tank per operation

GregTech's Distillation Tower: Converts Oil into different factions, recipe below replaces present oil recipe
Needs 80k EU at 128 EU/t for operation

Reformer: Reforms untreated Naptha into Petrol with a high octane number
Needs 80k EU at 128 EU/t and 1000 mB of Hydrogen in the internal tank per operation

Cracker: Converts Heavy Oil into Diesel and Diesel into Naphta
Additionally, it outputs Hydrogen into its Internal tank
Needs 48k EU at 128 EU/t per operation

Processes:

Desalter
1 GregTech's Oil Cell -->> 1 Cleaned Oil Cell

GregTech's Distillation Tower
10 Cleaned Oil Cells -->> 5 Heavy Oil Cells + 3 Diesel Cells + 2 Naphtha Cells

Reformer
1 Naphtha Cell -->> 1 Petrol Cell

Cracker
1 Heavy Oil Cell -->> 2 Diesel Cells + 1 Hydrogen Cell
1 Diesel Cell -->> 2 Naphta Cells + 1 Hydrogen Cell

Petrol, Diesel and Heavy Oil (or the cells) are burnable in GregTech's Diesel Generator:
Petrol: 750k EU at 12 EU/t per Cell
Diesel: 840k EU at 12 EU/t per Cell
Heavy Oil: 735k EU at 12 EU/t per Cell

Crafting Recipes:

Desalter:

Cracker:

Reformer:

On the right side is GregTech's Platinum Dust.

Please tell me whether you liked it or not and what could be improved!

Greetings & thanks for reading,

Personally, I love it. Although I might change the names a bit. This is much more realistic to life and, as long as the EU values are ever-improving, a good encouraging point to oil processing. I dream of the day of seeing a refinery crop up in my desert to handle my tanked 3562 buckets (no joke) of crude oil.

Thanks for the feedback!
How would you change the names?
Would be glad if you tell me.

Greetings, Ice

cool idea, but i think that you shouldn't be able to transform heavy oil into diesel.
It should be used in a special boat or in a big multi block engine that runs long, but needs time to heat up.

Ok, so some kind of stationary engine for the heavy oil.
Maybe there should be specific engines also for petrol and diesel.
Could imagine a path of upgrades, i.e. a turbocharger, intercooler, etc.

What do you think?
Thanks for answers

I said this in the GregTech thread allready, but so you know: This is on the to do list for GTExtras.

Thanks for mentioning it, sounds good.
