Oil refinery
Oil refinery silhouetted against the setting sun. An electricity pylon is at lower centre. An oil refinery is where crude oil is separated (refined) into parts (fractions), producing fuels such as diesel and petrol, as well as other products. The crude oil is refined in tall fractionating towers called pipestills, some of which are seen here. Other structures are used to process and purify the crude oil products, and to form new products. Oil products are also used in the chemical industry to produce materials such as plastics.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing sight of an oil refinery silhouetted against the vibrant hues of a setting sun. The enchanting scene is further accentuated by the presence of an electricity pylon at the lower center, symbolizing the intersection between traditional and modern sources of energy. Located in Hampshire, UK, this particular oil refinery belongs to ExxonMobils Fawley Oil Refinery and Chemical Plant, one of Europe's largest petrochemical facilities. Here, crude oil undergoes a complex process known as refining or separation into various fractions that yield essential fuels like diesel and petrol. Additionally, these refineries produce numerous other products while also serving as vital components in chemical industries for manufacturing materials such as plastics. The image showcases tall fractionating towers called pipestills that dominate the skyline alongside other structures responsible for processing and purifying crude oil products. However, it is impossible to overlook the environmental impact associated with such industrial operations. The chimneys emitting smoky plumes serve as a stark reminder of air pollution concerns linked to these plants. Nevertheless, this photograph beautifully encapsulates both technological advancement and its consequences on our atmospheric environment. As dusk settles over this British landscape, it serves as a poignant reminder to strive for sustainable practices within the refining industry while acknowledging its pivotal role in powering our modern world.
