Description
The total amount of product of a refinery process or of all products of all processes of a refinery compared with the equivalent amount of feedstock. A ?Refinery Yield? for a given crude oil feedstock and refinery will include a table of amounts of all products derived from a barrel or ton(ne) of crude minus the refinery?s own usage for fuel, flaring and other losses. Since refineries commonly use several feedstocks simultaneously, such a yield is often measured or predicted on the basis of adding incremental feedstock to a fixed throughput.
