<p><font face="Verdana">Yes they are refineries, I was involved in
the construction of several of them. The oil from the biological
source (feedstock) is refined by removing gums from energy seeds
and pyrolysis of solid biological feedstocks (wood, agricultural
waste etc...). To a non professional they might look similar but
the processing equipment and production process is quite
different. The oil is produced from energy seeds, mostly palm
oil and in moderate climate areas sunflower seeds and field
mustard are quite common, from which the gums or even a certain
refined residue might be used for post-processing for food and
pharmaceutical purposes. The product term here is bio-oil, not
editable oil, as most of the oil is no longer regarded suitable
for human consumption.<br>
Since the example you have given is next to a petroleum
refinery, we can be pretty sure it's bio-oil for mixing with
petroleum oil, as is a legal requirement (minimum required
percentage of bio content) in many countries, f.i. most
countries in the European Union.<br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">Editable oil might also be refined, not just
olive oil, also other oil obtained from seeds. What
distinguishes them from typical bio-oil refineries is that the
main purpose is producing fats and oils for use in food and
pharmaceutical (think also about cosmetics). The seed shells
from the crushing and pressing process is mostly provided as
feedstock for the production of animal feeds or again,
production of bio-oil through pyrolysis. In a bio-oil refinery,
a crushing and pressshop might be present, the residue, if
economically viable mostly also converted to bio-oil by
pyrolysis or, if economically less interesting, again as
feedstock for production of animal feed (mostly in a different
facility). The editable oil facilities not only appear on a
small scale (like you would tag with craft) but also on a large
industrial scale (typical f.i. palm oil based).<br>
Editable oil facilities, as far as I know don't use pyrolysis.
They do have reactors though to refine oil. Again they might
look similar then the bio-oil facilities. <br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">I would suggest to use product = oil as
according to our wiki, for all industrial scale bio-oil or
editable oil production facilities. Small, artisanal facilities
could by tagged with craft tags if you wish.<br>
For petroleum refineries , their products range from bitumen for
asphalt production, light and heavy fuel and gasses for fuel and
plastics production, lubrication products: Product=petroleum as
for all petroleum derived products. <br>

<p><font face="Verdana">Product = bio-oil is more
appropriate. There are many large refineries producing
bio-oil as single source for fuels, additive to
petroleum derived oil products, basis as fat content
for food production, pharmaceutics etc... not intended
to be only editable for consumption (by humans or
animal feed). They are large industrial facilities,
not to be tagged with craft = *.</font> </p>

<div dir="auto">Ok, then it's maybe practical to have
product=oil as both fuel, and edible oil as sometimes a
facility makes both. Especially because both facilities look
similar on the ground.</div>

<div dir="auto">Do you know if bio_oil facility is called a
refinery? As I understand it, you get bio_oil by crushing and
filtering seeds or fruit. Refining is not the main activity
there, other than small scale refining like olive oil into a
worse product. Then we can document industry=refinery
specifically as the wikipedia describes it:</div>
