Petroleum refineries are very large industrial complexes that involve a great many different processing units and auxiliary facilities such as utility units and storage tanks. Each refinery has its own unique arrangement and combination of refining processes largely determined by the refinery location, desired products and economic considerations. There are most probably no two refineries that are identical in every respect.

Jimmy Page, John Bonham, Robert Plant, and John Paul Jones, c 1975.</small>]]'''[[Led Zeppelin]]''' were a highly rated [[Britain|British]] blues-rock outfit and statistically regarded as one of the most successful rock bands of the seventies. They first formed in 1968 from the remaining members of The Yardbirds, and consisted of [[Jimmy Page]] (b. 1946, [[guitar]]), [[Robert Plant]] (b. 1948, [[vocals]]), [[John Paul Jones (musician)|John Paul Jones]] (b. 1946, [[bass guitar]] / [[Keyboard instrument|keyboards]]), and [[John Bonham]] (1948-1980, [[drums]]). They are considered one of the most influential bands in the world, becoming closely associated with the "album-oriented rock" (AOR) format and progenitors of a style of rock music called "heavy metal", although the band's musical output transcended heaviness with a strong blues, folk, psychedelia, classical, Celtic, and world music flavour in their recordings, and acoustic live performances. The band also eschewed traditional promotional avenues in the industry, focussing on albums and concerts, without reliance on singles or [[television]] performances. The interaction of all four musicians on stage gave their live performances a visual counterpoint to voluminous intertwined harmonic and rhythmic structures of their compositions. | | |
