Oil refinery storage tank
Oil refinery storage tank. This spherical tank is pressurized and contains liquified petroleum gas (LPG), one of the products from the refining of crude oil. Petroleum gases (mostly butane and propane) are used as a fuel in a similar way to the use of natural gas (which is mostly methane). Photographed at ExxonMobils Fawley Oil Refinery and Chemical Plant, Hampshire, UK, one of the largest petrochemical plants in Europe, and the largest oil refinery in the UK

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an impressive oil refinery storage tank located at ExxonMobil's Fawley Oil Refinery and Chemical Plant in Hampshire, UK. Standing tall and spherical in shape, this pressurized tank contains liquified petroleum gas (LPG), a valuable product derived from the refining of crude oil. LPG primarily consists of butane and propane, which are widely utilized as fuel sources similar to natural gas. The Fawley Oil Refinery and Chemical Plant is not only one of Europe's largest petrochemical facilities but also holds the distinction of being the largest oil refinery in the United Kingdom. This remarkable structure symbolizes Britain's significant role in the oil industry while representing advanced technological advancements within the field. Photographed by Science Photo Library, this image captures both the industrial prowess and technical expertise involved in refining crude oil into various useful products. The significance of fossil fuels as a crucial energy source is evident through this photograph, emphasizing their importance for powering numerous industries across Europe. With its intricate design and colossal size, this storage tank exemplifies excellence in structural engineering within the petrochemical industry. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our ability to harness natural resources efficiently.
