Annual Crude Feed = Crude Feed Rate × Operating Days
Processed Feed = Annual Crude Feed × Recovery Factor ÷ 100
Sellable Base = Processed Feed × (1 − Process Loss ÷ 100)
Product Barrels = Sellable Base × Product Yield ÷ 100
Revenue = Σ(Product Barrels × Product Price)
Crude Expense = Processed Feed × Crude Cost per Barrel
Processing Expense = Processed Feed × Processing Cost per Barrel
Gross Margin = Revenue − (Crude Expense + Processing Expense)
Margin per Barrel = Gross Margin ÷ Processed Feed
Energy Use = Processed Feed × Energy Intensity
Estimated Emissions = Processed Feed × Emission Factor
Enter the crude feed rate and annual operating days first. These values define the crude volume entering the refinery during the study period.
Set the recovery factor and process loss next. Recovery reflects effective utilization, while loss captures shrinkage, flaring, handling loss, or non-saleable material.
Enter energy intensity, emissions factor, crude cost, and processing cost to estimate operational burden and economic performance for the selected period.
Input yield percentages for gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, LPG, residue, and other products. The calculator checks that product yields plus process loss do not exceed 100%.
Add selling prices for each product stream. After submission, the tool calculates barrels, revenue, expenses, gross margin, margin per barrel, energy use, and emissions.
Use the CSV and PDF buttons to export the current result set. The chart helps compare stream volumes visually for faster review.
This oil refinery calculator helps estimate refinery mass balance, economics, and operating intensity from a single input sheet. It converts crude throughput assumptions into usable product volumes for gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, LPG, residue, and other streams. That makes it useful for planning, teaching, screening scenarios, or reviewing plant sensitivity before deeper simulation.
The model combines throughput, recovery factor, and process loss to estimate a realistic sellable base. From there, product yields determine the barrel output for each stream. Product prices transform those barrels into revenue. Crude cost and processing cost then define expense, so the tool can estimate total margin and margin per processed barrel.
Because refinery decisions often involve both chemistry and economics, this page also includes energy intensity and emissions inputs. That lets users compare a profitable case against an energy-heavy case, or review how utilization changes affect environmental load. The calculator is intentionally practical rather than overly theoretical, so it is quick to use for daily planning and educational analysis.
The included chart supports a visual review of the product slate. Export tools allow you to save results for reports, internal review, or later comparison. If you change yields, prices, or operating assumptions, you can immediately rerun the case and evaluate how sensitive the refinery outcome is to crude choice, process efficiency, or product market shifts.
The recovery factor estimates how much of the scheduled crude feed is effectively processed during the selected operating period. It captures downtime, utilization losses, and practical plant availability in a simple percentage input.
Process loss represents material that does not become saleable product. Separating it from yields makes the product split clearer and helps prevent inflated revenue estimates when shrinkage or handling losses are significant.
Yes. If yields plus process loss stay below 100%, the remaining percentage appears as an unassigned balance. This helps highlight incomplete assumptions without forcing the model to overstate any product stream.
It shows a simplified gross margin. Revenue from saleable products is reduced by crude purchase cost and processing cost. Taxes, transport, hedging, financing, and maintenance reserves are not separately modeled.
It is best for screening, training, and quick business estimates. Real refinery design requires detailed assay data, unit models, catalyst performance, hydrogen balance, utility integration, and rigorous simulation tools.
These fields connect operational efficiency with sustainability review. They help compare cases where one configuration may look profitable but requires more energy input or produces a larger carbon footprint.
Use prices that match your planning basis, market region, and time frame. Consistent pricing assumptions are more important than perfect spot accuracy when you are comparing multiple internal refinery scenarios.
Yes. The page includes both CSV and PDF export options for the current result set. The exported files summarize key metrics and the product stream table for easier reporting.
