How to Use This Calculator
  1. Enter Crude Input Volume, Crude API Gravity, and Coker Unit.
  2. Set FCC Unit and Hydrocracker Unit.
  3. Review the Gasoline Yield (%) result.
  4. Use Kerosene/Jet Yield (%) and Diesel Yield (%) to inform your decision.
  5. Use the chart to visualize the results and explore different scenarios by adjusting inputs.

What each input means

Crude Input Volume
Total crude oil throughput in barrels per day for the refinery.
Crude API Gravity
API gravity of the crude feed. Higher values indicate lighter, more valuable crude.
Coker Unit
Set to 1 if the refinery has a delayed coker unit, 0 otherwise.
FCC Unit
Set to 1 if the refinery has a fluid catalytic cracking unit, 0 otherwise.
Hydrocracker Unit
Set to 1 if the refinery has a hydrocracker unit, 0 otherwise.

How this is calculated

Worked example, using the default values

  1. Identify Input Parameters
    4 parameters
    Crude Input Volume = 100000, Crude API Gravity = 32, Coker Unit = 1, FCC Unit = 1 = 5 input(s) provided
  2. Calculate Gasoline Yield
    Gasoline Yield
    43.7 = 43.7%
  3. Calculate Kerosene/Jet Yield
    Kerosene/Jet Yield
    16.1 = 16.1%
  4. Calculate Diesel Yield
    Diesel Yield
    26.1 = 26.1%
