Crude oil is treated and processed in the
refineries. Sulzer supplies key technologies
to increase efficiency and improve the
refining processes.

Oil becomes plastics
In refineries, crude oil and natural gas are separated into heating oil, gasoline and other valuable substances. In the petrochemical industry, these oil and gas components are processed into a vast number of chemicals and plastics using many complex processes.

Sulzer supplies both refineries and the petrochemical industry with pumps and technologies to separate the raw materials into their individual components and aid their further processing. Sulzer also provides comprehensive repair and maintenance of gas and steam turbines, as well as compressors which increase reliability and availability.
