This circuit buffers gas in the tank until there is at least 100, then it lets the tank drain until there is less than 50 and the cycle repeats.
This circuit buffers gas in the tank until there is at least 100, then it lets the tank drain until there is less than 50 and the cycle repeats.
It has a few elements that work together to do achieve this. Firstly the Small pump is connected to the Wooden chest by a Red wire and the enabled condition on the Small pump is set to 'Raw wood > 0' Both of the basic inserters are connected to the Storage tank by Red Wires. The enabled condition on the left inserter is "Petroleum gas > 100" and the right inserter is "Petroleum gas < 50". You will need to insert a single "Raw wood" into the chest to make it all work.

It is also possible to do this with combinators instead of the inserters, belt and the Wood chest.

Introduction

WORK IN PROGRESS!!

This page provides examples of simple circuit network designs that others can use, combine and modify. They are designed to be as easy to understand as possible.

Oil Setups

Light Oil Cracking

LgtOilCracking.png This circuit provides balanced light oil and petroleum gas production by cracking excess light oil into gas. The Small pump is connected to the Storage tank by a Red Wire, the small pump has an enabled condition set to 'Light Oil > 2000'.

Heavy Oil Cracking

HvyOilCracking.png This circuit extends on the previous circuit by adding heavy oil cracking to provide lubricant as well.

Petroleum split evenly between plastic and sulphuric acid

This circuit buffers gas in the tank until there is at least 100, then it lets the tank drain until there is less than 50 and the cycle repeats. It has a few elements that work together to do achieve this. Firstly the Small pump is connected to the Wooden chest by a Red wire and the enabled condition on the Small pump is set to 'Raw wood > 0' Both of the basic inserters are connected to the Storage tank by Red Wires. The enabled condition on the left inserter is "Petroleum gas > 100" and the right inserter is "Petroleum gas < 50". You will need to insert a single "Raw wood" into the chest to make it all work.

It is also possible to do this with combinators instead of the inserters, belt and the Wood chest.
