Refining crude oil inputs and outputs U.S. Energy
Sep 10, 2020 Refining output is larger than input. The total volume of products refineries produce (output) is greater than the volume of crude oil that refineries process (input) because most of the products they make have a lower density than the crude oil they process. This increase in volume is called processing gain. The average processing gain at U.S ...
