Fluid catalytic cracker at an oil refiner C016 / 2765
Oil. Towers of a fluid catalytic cracking plant at an oil refinery. Catalytic cracking is the process by which crude oil is refined into components of different mass, or fractions. In the foreground is the main column, next to which is the tall reactor. On the far side of this is the regenerator. Photographed in the Khanty-Mansi region of Russia

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the impressive infrastructure of a fluid catalytic cracker at an oil refinery in the Khanty-Mansi region of Russia. The image captures the towering structures that form the backbone of this crucial refining process, which transforms crude oil into various fractions based on their mass. In the foreground, we see the main column standing tall and sturdy, symbolizing the heart of this complex operation. Beside it stands a towering reactor, exuding power and strength as it facilitates catalytic cracking. On the far side lies the regenerator, completing this intricate system that plays a vital role in our global economy. The photograph not only highlights these remarkable engineering feats but also serves as a reminder of our dependence on fossil fuels for energy production. As discussions surrounding climate change and carbon emissions intensify, images like these prompt us to reflect on our reliance on such processes and encourage us to seek cleaner alternatives. Amidst concerns about global warming and its impact on our environment, this print encapsulates both awe-inspiring industrial might and prompts contemplation about sustainable practices for future generations. It is an evocative representation of how technology intersects with nature in pursuit of fueling progress while urging us to consider ways to mitigate its environmental consequences.
