Products

The main petroleum products stored are gasoline, diesel and biofuels for road transport, gas oils for ships and heating, aviation kerosene and heavy fuels for industrial use and ships. Among chemical products we can highlight by their volume alcohols such as methanol and ethanol, solvents for the production of paints, various components for the petrochemical industry, etc. Other important products are those for food (different qualities of oils and fats, mainly).

Calculation methodology

  • The densities have been calculated by obtaining the weighted average of the density in air at 15 ºC of all product batches received in Exolum’s logistics system during 2023.
  • For batches coming from national refineries connected to the Exolum system, the density of the certificate of origin, obtained in the laboratories of the corresponding refineries, has been used. These analyses are supervised by Exolum’s Incoming Control personnel at each refinery.
  • For batches coming from other logistics or imports, the density obtained in the analysis of a representative sample of the delivered batch is used, which is analyzed in Exolum’s laboratories to authorize its entry into the Company’s system.
  • For straight oil, the weighted average of the air density at 15 ºC of all Jet A-1 batches received at the Zaragoza facility, the only Exolum terminal where straight oil is shipped, has been used.
  • For pure bioethanol (E100), the theoretical density of ethanol given in the bibliography (handbook) has been used.
  • Blends with biofuels: their densities at 15 ºC are obtained from the values of their components shown in the table, applying the corresponding proportion.
