Question

This task uses liquid sulfur dioxide to extract aromatics from another material in the Edeleanu process. MCM-41, a mesoporous silicate material, is principally used as an alternative to certain catalysts for one stage of this task. Coker units are involved (15[1])in this (15[1])task, where mercaptan oxidation is a form of sweetening. Boiling at a lower air pressure (15[1]-5[1])removes the flasher tops from the resid, (15[1])or bottoms, left behind by this process. (15[1]-5[2])Reformers, (-5[1])alkylation (-5[1])units, and (*) hydrocrackers (10[3])are found (-5[1])in facilities for performing (10[1]-5[1])this task, (10[2]-5[2])which (-5[1])also uses fluid catalytic cracking. (10[1]-5[3])This task (10[1])uses (-5[1])fractional distillation (10[1])to create (10[1])products such as (10[1])naphtha (10[1])and paraffin (10[1])wax. For 10 points, name this task that produces kerosene, diesel, (-5[1])gasoline, (10[1]0[1])and similar products. (10[2])■END■ (10[7]0[1])

ANSWER: oil refining [or refining oil or oil refinery; accept refining petroleum or petroleum refining or petroleum refinery; prompt on making gasoline with “what stage of that process?”; prompt on fluid catalytic cracking with “what larger process is that a part of?”; reject “natural gas processing” or other answers about “natural gas”]
