Hydroskimmingとは 意味・読み方・使い方

Hydroskimming is one of the simplest types of refinery used in the petroleum industry. A hydroskimming refinery is defined as a refinery equipped with atmospheric distillation, naphtha reforming and necessary treating processes. A hydroskimming refinery is therefore more complex than a topping refinery (which just separates the crude into its constituent petroleum products by distillation, known as atmospheric distillation, and produces naphtha but no gasoline) and it produces gasoline. However a hydroskimming refinery produces a surplus of fuel with a relatively unattractive price and demand.
