A sample setup for an oil refinery

Oil refinery splits crude oil into 3 different fluids: Heavy Oil, Light Oil and Petroleum Gas. These byproducts cannot be packed into steel barrels and must be stored in a Storage Tank or piped to a Chemical plant.

Later on you can research a second recipe that produces less of the relatively useless heavy oil and more of 2 other fluids, in exchange for having to supply water to the refinery.
When placing the refinery, it can be rotated, but otherwise neither input nor output tiles can be swapped in any way. (For advanced oil processing, the water input is to the right when the inputs are coming into the top.)

When the refinery is working, a flame comes out of the chimney.

You need to choose the recipe, otherwise it won't work.
It will stop working if any of the products isn't properly drained from it (that is, 10.0 heavy oil at output will prevent production of the 2 other fluids).
