Methane
Methane is a simple hydrocarbon with one carbon atom and four hydrogen atoms.
In a refinery, methane is produced in the refinery gas stream of many conversion units. It is also often purchased from outside the refinery as natural gas.
Methane is generally consumed as a fuel in a refinery and is also used as a feedstock in hydrogen production.
