Transportation methods of gasoline in United States. Animation shows the shipping of the gasoline from storage to the refined products. Carrying the refined gasoline in ships. The refined gasoline is taken in tank cars to the main distributing stations. A man takes out the gasoline from tank cars at the distributing stations and load in the tank trucks. The tank trucks then supply the gasoline to various large consumers and filling stations. At a gasoline station, while making a delivery of gasoline, a man connects a wire to the steel rod in the truck to serve as a ground and prevent any fire. Gas station attendant fills a man's car with gasoline.
The processing of creating lubricating oil from crude oil in refineries in, Indiana, United States. Crude oil is taken to the refineries from various oil field through pipelines and tank cars. Smoke from the chimneys of refineries. The first method in the processing of lubricating oil is the distillation of the crude oil in pipe stills. Animation shows the distillation in a simple shell still. Distillation of the other non-lubricating parts from the crude oil. As the temperature rises, the steam is turned into still. It lowers the boiling point and prevents the 'cracking' process. Then the light lubricating oil condenses first and then the heavier portion. The remainder called the 'residuum' is sent to the asphalt department for further refining into asphalt, road oil. A still man controls the operation of the distillation process at the 'receiving house'.
The processing of lubricating oil from crude oil in refineries of Washington DC, United States. The purification of the lubricating oil by chemically treating it in agitators. Animation shows that the oil is pumped into the treating tank where it is treated with chemicals. By this, the asphaltic or the tarry material having no lubricating value settles down. The oil is then taken and is pumped into the wash tank for further treatment. In the wash tank, it is mixed with hot water and agitated with air which washes out the chemicals. This oil contains paraffin wax which has no lubricating value and has to be removed. The oil is chilled to remove the wax and then pumped under high pressure through large filter presses. Filter press is composed of steel ring. The side plates are made of perforated steel. A blanket cotton duck, cake space and distillate inlet. The oil is forced through press. Stillman performs the work. The oil is then divided into various grades of lubricating oil in the reducing stills.
