INTRODUCTION
An oil refinery is considered to be an essential part of the petroleum
industry.
An oil refinery or petroleum refinery includes industrial processes, where crude oil is processed and refined into such products as petroleum naphtha, gasoline, diesel fuel, asphalt base, heating oil, kerosene and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). Oil refineries are typically large industrial complexes with extensive piping running throughout, carrying streams between large chemical processing units. Oil refineries are a type of chemical plants.
The crude oil feedstock is typically processed in an oil production plant. Crude oil contains hydrocarbons of varying molecular masses, forms and lengths such as paraffins (alkanes), aromatics (arenes), naphthenes (or cycloalkanes). Refined fractions can also contain alkenes, dienes and alkynes. Also there are heteroatoms such as sulfur, nitrogen and oxigen containing compounds of varying complexity in crude oil.
The differences in the structure of these molecules account for their varying physical and chemical properties, and it is this variety that makes crude oil useful in a broad range of applications.
Crude oil is divided into petroleum fractions which can be used as fuels, lubricants, and as feedstocks in other processes.
Isobutane and propylene or butylenes can be recombined to meet specific octane requirements by processes such as alkylation, or less commonly, dimerization. The octane grade of gasoline can also be improved by catalytic reforming, which involves removing hydrogen from hydrocarbons producing compounds with higher octane ratings such as aromatics. Intermediate products such as gasoils can be reprocessed to break a heavy, long-chained molecules into a lighter short-chained ones by various forms of cracking such as catalytic cracking, thermal cracking, and hydrocracking. The final step in petroleum products production is the compounding of products with different properties to meet final specifications.
Petroleum products are usually grouped into three categories: light distillates (LPG, gasoline, naphtha), middle distillates (kerosene and related jet aircraft fuels, diesel), heavy distillates and residues (heavy fuel oil, lubricating oils, wax, asphalt and tar), petroleum coke and sulfur. This classification is based on the way crude oil is distilled and separated into fractions, also called distillates.

Oil refineries also produce various intermediate products such as hydrogen, light hydrocarbons and pyrolysis gasoline. These are not usually transported but instead are blended or processed further on-site. For example, light hydrocarbons are steam-cracked in an ethylene producing unit, and the produced ethylene is polymerized to produce polyethene.
Thus every refining process and unit has its purpose.
The desalter unit washes out salt from the crude oil before it enters the crude oil distillation unit (CDU), which is the first processing unit in virtually all petroleum refineries. The CDU distills the incoming crude oil into various fractions of different boiling ranges (each fraction has initial boiling point and ending boiling point), each of which are then processed further into other refinery processing units. The CDU is often referred to as the Atmospheric Distillation Unit (ADU) because it operates at pressure slightly above atmospheric one. The atmospheric distillation unit distills crude oil into fractions. Vacuum distillation unit (VDU) distills residual bottoms after atmospheric distillation. The naphtha hydrotreater unit uses hydrogen to desulfurize naphtha from atmospheric distillation before sending it to a catalytic reforming unit. The catalytic reforming unit is used to convert the naphtha-boiling range molecules into higher octane reformate. The reformate has the higher content of aromatics and cyclic hydrocarbons. An important byproduct of a reformer is hydrogen released during main reactions. The hydrogen is used either in the hydrotreaters or the hydrocrackers. Distillate hydrotreater desulfurizes distillates, such as diesel, after atmospheric distillation. The Fluid Catalytic Cracker (FCC) unit and the Hydrocracker unit upgrade heavier fractions into lighter, more valuable products. The Visbreaking unit upgrades heavy residual oils by thermally cracking them into lighter reduced viscosity products. The Merox unit treats LPG, kerosene or jet fuel by oxidizing mercaptans to organic disulfides. Coking units, delayed coking unit, fluid coker, and flexicoker, process very heavy residual oils into gasoline and diesel fuel, leaving petroleum coke as a residual product. The Alkylation unit uses sulfuric acid or hydrofluoric acid to produce high­octane components for gasoline. The Isomerization unit converts linear molecules to higher-octane branched molecules for blending into gasoline or feeding to alkylation units. The Steam reforming unit produces hydrogen for the hydrotreaters or hydrocrackers. The Amine tail gas treater, Claus unit converts hydrogen sulfide from hydrodesulfurization into elemental sulfur.

Solvent refining units use solvent such as cresol or furfural to remove unwanted components, mainly aromatics, from lubricating oil stock or diesel stock.
Solvent dewaxing units remove the heavy waxy constituents (petrolatum) from vacuum distillation products.
Petroleum refinery also includes any of the usual refinery facilities providing utilities such as steam, cooling water, and electric power as well as storage tanks for crude oil feedstock and for intermediate products and end products.

1. THERMOCHEMISTRY.
CALCULATION OF THERMAL EFFECTS
OF HYDROCARBON REACTIONS
All chemical processes of substances transformation proceed with a particular thermal effect.
In thermodynamics, the following designation has been adopted:
1) ∆Н < 0 is for an exothermic process, heat release (dissipation);
2) ∆Н > 0 is for an endothermic process, heat absorption.
Generally, almost all synthesis processes, various addition reactions proceed with heat release, they are called exothermic processes (for example, hydrogenation, hydration, condensation, polymerization, alkylation).
Decomposition reactions proceed with heat absorption, they are endothermic processes (for example, cracking, dehydrogenation, dehydration, dealkylation, depolymerization, dehydrocyclization).
Thermal effect is usually referred to 1 mol of a substance (usually a reaction product). Its unit of measure is J/mol (joule per mole) or kJ/mol (kilojoule per mole). Sometimes off-system units are used, such as cal/mol (calories per mole) or kcal/mol (kilocalories per mole).
The value in calories per mole, multiplied by 4.19, equals the value in kilojoules per mole.
Often during the solving tasks and exercises the standard thermal effect is used (it is determined at standard conditions, which correspond to the temperature of T = 25 °C = 298 ° K and preassure P = 1 atm (1.013 ∙ 10 Pa = 0.1 MPa).
The thermal effect is calculated on the basis of Hess’s law.
In accordance with Hess's law, the thermal effect of the reaction does not depend reaction behavior, but only on the nature and condition of the initial substances and resulting products.
Hess's law has a number of consequences, the most important of which are two:
1) The thermal effect of the reaction is equal to the difference between the sums of the heat of formation values of the final products and the heat of formation values of the initial substances (taking into account the stoichiometric coefficients):

Heat of formation (heat of combination) is the thermal effect of the reaction of the formation of 1 mole of the compound from simple substances. Wherein, the heat of formation value of simple substances is equal to zero.
Standard heat of formation is designated as 
 
.
2) The thermal effect of the chemical reaction is equal to the difference between the sums of the values of combustion heat of initial substances and the values of combustion heat of products:

 
.
The heat of combustion (along with calorific value, combustion heat in engineering literature) is the thermal effect of the reaction of oxidation of 1 mole of the compound with oxygen to form higher oxides of elements. For example, for hydrocarbons, it will be carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O).
The standard heat of combustion of oxides is equal to zero. The standard heat of formation and heat of combustion of various compounds are given in the reference tables (Appendix 1). We obtain more accurate results using the values of the heat of formation in our calculations.
The thermal effect of the chemical reaction can also be calculated as the difference between the sums of the bond energies (or binding energy, cohesive energy) of initial substances and the bond energies of products:

This method is implemented for calculating the thermal effects of chemical transformations of aliphatic (acyclic) organic compounds. In aliphatic organic compounds, the carbon atoms are linked in open chains.
As for the sign of the value of thermal effect there, there is no single approach. In thermodynamics, the heat released by the system is considered as negative, and the heat absorbed by the system is considered as positive, in chemistry and some other fields it is on the contrary. This fact should be taken into the consideration during the calculations.
Example 1.1
Determine the thermal effect of the reaction of the dehydrogenation of ethane into ethylene under standard conditions using different methods.
