What The Great Refinery Run does

The Great Refinery Run takes oil through each step of a refinery: you pump crude, clear salt and water in the desalter, pick a product path in the distillation tower and work units such as hydrotreating, alkylation and catalytic cracking.

At the end you choose how to deliver the product, by truck, rail, barge, tanker or pipeline, and a separate pump swap challenge follows a control room procedure.

A facts mode lets you browse every refinery fact without playing.
