Targa Channelview is listed as a reactivated/new refinery in the report. Suncor, Commerce City East and Commerce City West resumed reporting as separate entities, they reported as one entity in the 2018 report. Tesoro Refining and Marketing, Wilmington and Carson began reporting as one entity with the 2019 report.

The results demonstrate that the wetting of rough surfaces of ceramic samples and coatings by liquid Ge is significantly poorer than that of the smooth surface of quartz glass. The contact angle of polished glass is ~100°, and that of the ceramics and coatings increases from 112° to 137° as the total impurity content of the material decreases from 0.120 to 1 × 10–3 wt %. Using experimental contact angle data, we calculated the work of adhesion of molten Ge to the materials studied.

  • Refining Crude Oil
    REFINING CRUDE OIL New Zealand buys crude oil from overseas, as well as drilling for some oil locally. This oil is a mixture of many hydrocarbons that has to be refined before it can be used for fuel. All crude oil in New Zealand is refined by The New Zealand Refining Company at their Marsden Point refinery where it is converted to petrol, diesel, kerosene, aviation fuel, bitumen, refinery gas (which fuels the refinery) and sulfur. The refining process depends on the chemical processes of distillation (separating liquids by their different boiling points) and catalysis (which speeds up reaction rates), and uses the principles of chemical equilibria. Chemical equilibrium exists when the reactants in a reaction are producing products, but those products are being recombined again into reactants. By altering the reaction conditions the amount of either products or reactants can be increased. Refining is carried out in three main steps. Step 1 - Separation The oil is separated into its constituents by distillation, and some of these components (such as the refinery gas) are further separated with chemical reactions and by using solvents which dissolve one component of a mixture significantly better than another. Step 2 - Conversion The various hydrocarbons produced are then chemically altered to make them more suitable for their intended purpose. For example, naphthas are "reformed" from paraffins and naphthenes into aromatics. These reactions often use catalysis, and so sulfur is removed from the hydrocarbons before they are reacted, as it would 'poison' the catalysts used. The chemical equilibria are also manipulated to ensure a maximum yield of the desired product.

Bertoni Los Angeles City Department of Planning 200 N Spring St Los Angeles, CA 90012 Sent by fax without attachments and by e-mail with attached documentation Dear Director Bertoni, I am writing to request that you please immediately begin steps to initiate Nuisance Abatement proceedings under the authority granted by LAMC 12.27.1 to consider the revocation of all conditional use approvals for the 4th Ave Drill Site and all wells and petroleum production at that site. Recent events at the 4th Ave Drill Site have flouted the requirements of LAMC 13.01.I that requires ZA approval (and CEQA clearance and a public hearing) before initiating the conversion of wells from injection to production. Furthermore, the specific work that was done - converting all injection wells at the site into production wells and then purportedly activating them, with produced water sent (or to be sent) to another drill site to be injected in wells that bottom in other drilling districts not approved in connection with the 4th Ave Drill site - makes a hash out of the 71 year old system of Oil Drilling Districts and Controlled Drill Sites. Last, the 4th Ave Drill Site has been idle for more than 5 years and much evidence, including the unprecedented and illegal conversion of all injection wells at the site to production wells, confirms that the site will continue to be non-productive.
